President Trump Declares Houses of Worship "Essential" Places that Provide Essential Services



CDC issuing guidance at President Trump direction.

President Trump said many governors gave exemptions to liquor stores and abortion providers as essential services but did not provide the same exemptions.

The President said it is very important that governors open houses of worship immediately and if they do not, he will override governors.

I'll update as soon as CDC guidance is issued.

The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad
Let the distance shores rejoice
Clouds and thick darkness surround Him
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne
A fire goes before Him and consumes His foes on every side
His lightning lights up the world

The mountains melt like wax before the Lord
Before the Lord of all the earth
The Heavens proclaim His righteousness
And all peoples will see His glory


 UPDATE:

Guidelines Posted.

Looks like they were scrubbed of unconstitutional content!

Many Catholics feel something extraordinary happening in the spiritual world and question whether if a full-blown government persecution and underground Church is around the corner.  Quite frankly, that is up to ...

Feds Pushed Baker

Came down hard. Federal justice officials have been pressing states including Massachusetts to reopen houses of worship as the country battles the spread of the coronavirus, Gov. Charlie Baker said Thursday. Baker said his decision to shutter houses of worship during the state of emergency “was the right thing to do, but I hated doing it .” They have been allowed to restart religious services this week as long as they practice social distancing as part of the first phase of the state’s reopening plan. Governor Baker didn't "hate" authorizing cross-contaminated cups of coffee getting passed out at any Dunkies enough to stop it. I'm glad he felt that way, but even as worshipers brought their concerns forward, he had to be legally threatened before he conceded his orders violated the First Amendment. Something screwball going on. We have a contagious virus which approximately 7/10 people with healthy immune symptoms overcome without havi...
