  • Pope’s call for ‘obedience’ on Mass restrictions both pastoral and political

    • Apr 28, 2020

    One day after the Italian Prime Minister declined to offer a date for restarting public Masses in his “phase 2” plan for lifting of the country’s COVID-19 coronavirus restrictions, with some advisers saying it might not happen until the end of the month, one church official in Milan said faithful want Mass now.

    In Italy, popular devotions driving spiritual reaction to COVID-19

    • Apr 21, 2020
