With a few exceptions, my Catholic Church is keeping their Mass schedules the same as always. Dioceses in Ohio and Los Angeles are not requiring mass attendance, and Seattle, San Diego, Boston, Colorado and Washington DC dioceses have canceled mass for the next three weeks. My diocese in a conservative area has given the most common sense response: No drinking from chalices or using holy water. No hand shake of peace, no hand-holding during the Our Father. If you feel at risk, stay home. This is what ALL organizations should be doing instead of canceling. Very commonsense. Predictably it's the left and leftwing areas who are pushing to cancel events in general All in an attempt to disrupt the economy and daily life so Trump will be blamed. One notable exception is the San Francisco diocese which is simply telling people who feel at risk they can stay home.
Ironically, places canceling like Boston, DC and Seattle are areas where church attendance is needed most. Those are extremely leftwing areas who have a desperate need for God.
