“Wherever two or more are gathered in my name, I am there also.”
My Bible doesn’t go on to say that the gathering has to be in an officially-recognized place of worship or that people have to be within 6 feet of each other.
My cousin’s husband underwent surgery. Her neighbor told her, “If they ever let us back in church, I’ll pray for him.”
Our church is still trying to figure out how to do the Eucharist. It is an unsanitary sacrament. I’m thinking along the line of pre-packaged wafers along the line of the crackers you get with soup in a restaurant and perhaps wine-filled capsules that dissolve in stomach acid.
I prefer to dip my host into the wine as a symbolic reunion of the body and blood and therefore Resurrection. I don’t think that’s going to happen except under specific circumstances.
Do-over, as in “His mercies are new every morning?” Yes – if the Church were to repent and acknowledge that much of what is currently held dear and insisted upon is more Pharisaical than Christlike, the do-over is always possible. Until He returns.

Light a candle to St. Mulligan, patron of false starts and brain farts.

He did. It happened in the early 1500s. Remember?

The Church is always in the process of being reborn, or it isn’t the Church.

Of all people, Leo would know that the Church IS a do-over!
