NEVER FORGET when they cancelled Easter

In 2020, churches locked out the faithful on the holiest day of the year

As Christians celebrate the Day commemorating the Resurrection of Christ, we ought not forget the “craven poltroonery” displayed by gutless Church leaders who voluntarily denied the Sacraments to the faithful on the most specious of pretexts just five short years ago. Note: This passage is taken from my longer work Reflections on the 2020 Scamdemic, available on Kindle or in paperback.

I was shocked and dismayed by many things which transpired in 2020 and 2021, but honestly, the fact that "essential worker" was allowed to become part of the general argot was supremely disappointing to me, even amidst such a plethora of supreme disappointments.

I was naive. I believed that people wouldn't just stand idly by and allow the language to be highjacked to such an extent that people would consent to being dismissed as "inessential" if their paid occupation were deemed somehow “unnecessary.” Yet in this instance, as with so many previous ones, the central planners of the scamdemic were permitted to run roughshod over decency and common sense.

One wonders: did they intend to display their open contempt for "the great unwashed' in such a blatant manner? For labeling small business owners and their employees "inessential" they certainly were, as the maxim goes, "saying the quiet part out loud." In declaring waitresses, cab drivers, librarians, movie theater workers, and bartenders "inessential" they were perhaps letting their mask slip for a moment unintentionally; then again, they could have been providing one of those "revelation of the method" moments, where they showed themselves as they truly were, since by their calculus doing so absolves them from culpability (see the "revelation of the method" as discussed by esoteric researcher Michael A Hoffman II).

You’re “inessential.” Forsake your livelihood, go home and “shelter in place,” plebe!

When, taking things even a step further, they deemed that houses of worship were "inessential" and ought to be boarded up, they perhaps signified their deepest-seated intentions. In their minds, they "allow" us to continue to attend our churches, not because they respect freedom of religion, but because they are aware that wresting our centers of faith from us would, practically speaking, do more harm than good. So they instead opt to pursue a project of infiltration, which has been afoot for some time, by which the faith's essentials are diluted by agents of unbelief, the better to, in the words of The Clash, "degenerate the faithful."

The fact that Catholic churches in my home state opted to lock their doors to their parishioners and make all of the sacraments unavailable for nearly three months was an utter travesty, one for which Church leaders ought to be ashamed. In other states, of course, the length of this closure time was far longer. But the idea that priests, bishops, and cardinals would intentionally leave their flock high and dry in the middle of Lent, of all times, and then remain "closed" over Holy Week and even during Easter itself, suggests nothing good about the current state of the Church.

Was this decision made due to mere cowardice, by churchmen who were sincere but who lacked resolve? Or was it done by demonic infiltrators who, having ascended to high positions in the Church, opted to take the opportunity of the scamdemic to further lower the morale of a parishioner class already weary of scandals amongst the hierarchy?

Whatever the case, being deprived of Easter Mass, and thus the sacrament of the eucharist, was one of the most disheartening events of recent memory. It stank of betrayal and craven poltroonery. To this day, it stands out as a reprehensible sin perpetrated by the Church against her faithful, one which will be difficult, if not impossible, to forgive.
