Responses:

Churches are just as essential to some people's state of mind as going on a walk to the park is. If they only have people six feet apart and no peace - JackDawson Apr 1, 15:30 7
- Sure, if they can meet distancing rules, but most I see can't - ty97 Apr 1, 15:33 1
  - There were some churches looking to do services at drive-in theaters, but there only about 300 of those across the country. -- nm - . Apr 1, 15:37
- This just brought up a thought. Catholic last rites in this pandemic. How is that working or not working? Anyone know? -- (edited) - Bacon Apr 1, 15:33 3
  - IIRC there is "special" way for instances such as this. Can not remember clearly what is done. -- nm - VMan Apr 1, 15:38 1
    - That's good. -- nm - Bacon Apr 1, 15:39
  - They're not allowing this -- nm - JackDawson Apr 1, 15:38
- Most are closed for services, but open for individuals to stop and pray. -- nm - . Apr 1, 15:31
The Florida declaration from DeSantis said churches/synagogues etc were essential. I don't know if that overrides county rules or not -- nm - ty97 Apr 1, 15:18 1
- Most individual churches canceled. DeSantis is a coward. -- nm - loosilu Apr 1, 15:20
Natural selection. -- nm - loosilu Apr 1, 15:17
Apocalyptic death cults, ftw! -- nm - znufrii Apr 1, 15:16 15
- The churches seem to be more practical / smarter than the governor - JD Apr 1, 15:18 3
  - the POPE is doing all services online. -- nm - loosilu Apr 1, 15:20 2
    - yeah, but those are catholics.. -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 1, 15:30
    - Yeah, my parents' church did an outdoor Communion only service this past week but they skipped even that. - ty97 Apr 1, 15:21
- I mean, I guess if everyone gets their own pew and they’re not right behind or in front of everyone else... *shrug* I don’t need church to have faith. -- nm - Qale Apr 1, 15:18 9
  - As my mother pointed out (note that my parents are attending daily mass on-line from home) this Sunday is Palm Sunday. Next Sunday is Easter - ty97 Apr 1, 15:20 8
    - Yeah. This used to be my favorite time of the year for church. Not because of having to attend so much, but seeing all my ‘not school friends’! -- nm - Qale Apr 1, 15:27
    - Plus Passover is next week. -- nm - spamlet Apr 1, 15:24
    - The money baskets don't fill up if the pews are empty. -- nm - Bacon Apr 1, 15:21 4
      - St Patrick's (which, along with the rest of the archdiocese of NY has canceled all Masses) does have a window asking for donations which makes sense - ty97 Apr 1, 15:23
      - Say what you want about the Catholic church, and it's legit. They aren't stupid. -- nm - loosilu Apr 1, 15:22 2
        
        They might not be stupid, but they do have evil inside that church. -- nm* - Bacon Apr 1, 15:23 1
        
        I know. It's not that flavor of evil. -- nm - loosilu Apr 1, 15:25
    - The Pope will not hold Easter service. I don't even have to look it up. -- nm - loosilu Apr 1, 15:21
- As long as they vote for me before they kill us all, I can live with it. -- nm - Gov. Abbott Apr 1, 15:17
