What the petition asks
Make ability for believers to gather on Sunday's masses whit safety rules that are in place now. We are all aware of the requirements and necessity of social distancing. We can achieve this in busy supermarkets, why we couldn't practiced this in churches as well?
The physical well-being of our nation it is necessary, same as the spiritual health of our people. For this reason, being present with God in His house has no substitute. This is not recreation but is essential, not just to us Catholics but to the all people who belive, to all religions. We believe that providing access to churches will not increase the risk to safety but will increase wellbeing of the wider society.
