Yesterday's RCAB Conference - One Final Housekeeping Item - TRACING








I listened to yesterdays 'rona conference put on by the Archdiocese of Boston and there is one more problem that needs to be resolved.   See below email to the 'pandemic team'.

Other than this one remaining housecleaning item, there were no other concerns.  

I am reaching out to other MA diocese to confirm whether they have received similar instructions from the Department of Health.   

Expecting people with a sniffle, sneeze or cough stay inside their home - even if it comes from hayfever - is a perfectly reasonable expectation.

I have not encountered anyone in a supermarket or retail store with any kind of symptom.  I believe people are doing what is necessary to keep the public safe.  

If a person shows up at a retail store with a symptom, asking them to leave, encouraging them to call their doctor, cleaning the area - these are all rational and reasonable responses.

But the state is not requiring any other business open to the public to approach people to fill out personal information medical form to be turned over to state health official for tracking --so it is extremely suspicious they have asked church officials to do so.

Imagine the pandemonium if the Department of Health required every business open to the public to find people who are sniffling and do a medical intake for mandatory testing?  We would be getting emergency alerts on our phone every two minutes and be expected to quarantine every time we left the house.     

Aside from this violating HIPAA, every store would be shut back down by the state.

This is suspicious for a door they will use to shut churches back down.  

If you receive any instructions from your parish to do this, please reach out to me and provide materials and instructions. 

Thank you,

Ms. Sullvian

During yesterday's conference, you indicated church staff will be required to watch people in the pews and if anyone sniffles/coughs, they are  to be approached where church personnel has been instructed to fill out a form which will then be turned in to the Department of Health.

That is not going to happen.

Please direct me to the person who has given you these instructions.  

Thank you, Carol McKinley

Boston's Vicar General Message of May 14, 2020

"Many and in fact most priests are anxious to get back to the work of salvation.  Sadly, for others, this is the best vacation they ever had and they are going to do everything they can to extend it.  By their fruits you shall know them.  There is a big push to promote watching them on television for an hour program on Sundays as an exciting new normal of Catholic practice." - Carol McKinley For reasons enumerated in my May 15th update , it will be interesting to see whether Governor Baker cuts Fr. Hehir and the recommendations of his  'pandemic team' loose.  In the meantime, do the bishops in Massachusetts expect Catholics to believe it takes them more than eight weeks to make a plan to clorox the pews, remove the hymnals and arrange seating conforming to social distancing requirements? How do they think they will survive the scrutiny of rational and honest people when their obfuscation is compared against the return of Sacraments all over the world?

Second Letter to Apostolic Nuncio & Boston Bishops

-----Original Message----- To: Apostolic Nuncio Cc: Boston Bishops Sent: Wed, May 20, 2020 9:45 am Subject: Fwd: Yesterdays Boston Archdiocese Carona Conference - One Remaining Concern  + IHS Please forward to Bishop Reed - thank you. Kindly see below.   This is not going to happen.  Put an end to it before something needs to be done to legally put an end to it. It is of critical importance to nip this political and hostile attack on the free exercise of religion in the bud.    Massachusetts is the door of entry for the communists.  It is all coming out of the Kennedy school of government. Once the church agrees to break laws that impose compromising civil liberties of their people in order to receive Sacraments, the door is opened for the hostile government control on Sacraments and the Church and our people.  It will be impossible to stop once they get the foot in the door. There are all kinds of problems in Boston's see.  Here are a most immediate dang
