If you are Catholic, then you should recognize that the statements of faith are correct. And indeed, the consequences of masking include shielding our humanity (our faces and personal expressions are part of what makes us unique individuals), decreased interaction (obvious, and the the other controls make it worse), and inhibit the interactions that we do have (more difficult to hear, read lips, and pick up on facial expressions). Last spring, I wrote something similar to our priest and bishop.
Masks are inhumane and should be a matter of choice for individuals, businesses, and churches.
