I was effectively kicked out of Mass this morning. Mask mandate was lifted Wednesday, but our California bishop has decreed that masks will be enforced regardless. I knew this going in, but was hoping that our rural parish, in a county with zero active cases in almost a month, would see this more as a guideline vs a rule. My wife and I were told, at communion, that we have to wear masks. This was followed by a text message from our deacon, who happens to be my Godfather, that ushers will be ordered to bar us from entry next week if we don't wear masks.
I am a devout Catholic, but I am beyond pissed. I understand that my Godfather has vowed to be obedient to the Bishop, but this farce has gone on long enough.
I informed our deacon that I go to Church for my spiritual health, and to a doctor for my physical health. I don't look to the Bishop of Ft Worth when I need medical treatment. And that I will not attend again until masks are gone.
It's been hard enough putting up with a Pope that is quasi Marxist, I will not tolerate a totalitarian Bishop. I plan to speak to the Bishop, or whatever underling that won't forward the call up, and express my sincere disappointment in the Vatican's decision to appoint Michael Olsen as Bishop of Ft Worth
