.... if you're in the right diocese.

We're becoming soft as a people.

Quote:

Our plans for Lent this year have been greatly impacted by the COVID-19 public health crisis. In support of the efforts to limit further transmission of the virus we have all been asked to give up many of the everyday activities we take for granted, including our usual participation in the life of the Church.

One of the effects of the current events is uncertainty regarding what food products are available on any given day. At this time, we are called to make the best of what we have at hand or is available for purchase. Many people are using what they have stored in their freezers and on their shelves. Others are depending upon pre-packaged meals or food delivered through support agencies, which are providing an important service for individuals and families in our communities, especially for children and our senior citizens.

In light of these circumstances, Cardinal Sen is dispensing all Catholics in the Archdiocese from the obligation of abstaining from meat during the remaining Fridays of Lent.

The Cardinal encourages those who can partake of this traditional Lenten practice of abstention to do so and to offer it up for those who are suffering in any way from the pandemic we are experiencing.

Not all Bishops are soft.



God bless Bishop Strickland and may he grant us more leaders like him. I certainly wish our diocese of Austin had him.

Our Family is so amazed at Bishop Strickland. Dude is awesome. We moved to Tyler last year and can't believe how lucky we are.

That last sentence is very strange. Is he thinking that we will kill more babies that otherwise wouldn't be aborted in the name of research?

I think he's just using a figure of speech, not trying to make any formal argument about increased deaths.

He is saying he won't be complicit with the murder of the unborn. He isn't trying to say it leads to more or less abortion, rather implying all abortion is murder.

He seems to be implying that we will market or choose abortion in order to provide medical innovation and he is staunchly against that....as everyone should be.

That's why I thought it was strange. For sure, if this is not intentioned, I give him all the grace.
