Editor,

As a member of the Catholic Church, I find suing the state to get more attendance in their churches absolutely wrong. Instead of worrying about the attendance and the collection plate they should be preaching that we are in trouble and what is more important right now is wearing masks and keeping our distance. Avoiding crowds is more important than going to church, we can pray at home, I’m sure the big guy hears us in both places.

Robert, now that you say that, I am going to church this Sunday. I believe in the separation of church and state and the opinion of someone not wanting me to go to church is completely meaningless. Remember Robert, this is America.

And let's not forget that going to Costco, Safeway, a strip joint or an abortion clinic is just fine. An occasional dinner at the French Laundry by Newsom and Breed is ok as well, but what are we grunts left with? As a Roman Catholic you should know that the receiving the H.Eucharist in person is most important, impossible to do virtually.

I find it amusing that the hypocritical right wing christians are up in arms because they are told not to go to church and now they want to. Where are they the other fifty Sundays of the year besides Christmas and Easter? The same holds true for the Jewish faith. In September at Yom Kippur there is no parking within blocks of the temple and the rest of the year it is front row seating.
