I believe this is succinctly what has been conveyed to many Catholics for the last year by the diocesan covid policies - “more convinced by the daily news than by the good news, more concerned with the body than with the soul, and more committed to temporal life than to eternal life.”

In the beginning many of us disagreed with the decision being made by our Church leaders but tolerated it because we had no choice. But after the first few months and actual data from this covid stuff was released, a reasonable thinking person could see the fraud that was being perpetrated by nefarious people. But still no change to our leaders capitulation to the government and media lies. How the Bishop's and priest have treated so many faithful Catholics this past year over a stupid mask was not only scandalous but darn right offensive and hurtful. Our leaders have allowed the fear and submission of masks and social distancing to breed and perpetuate in our holy church's. And now that the majority are in fear they readily line up for abortion tainted vaccines and not a word of concern or caution from our Shepards. As a life long Catholic it breaks my heart to see what the the Shepards of this Church have done in the past year. I don't recognize the voice of the majority of our priest and Bishop's. The damage done this past year by our Shepards will take years if not decades to heal. I have not lost my faith in the Catholic Church because Christ established this to depence his grace, but I have lost faith in the majority of our Shepards.

Praying for courage for the Church and it's members to welcome ALL members back to church in His likeness- with fully exposed faces... and for allowing access to all the tools that help protect us in what has become a monstrous spiritual battle! Peace be with us all.

Saint Damien of Molokai- pray for us! We ask for brave shepherds in our Church to have Faith like you displayed within your life.
Please pray our Lord gives Bishop Walkoviak the courage to lead our diocese through a fearless faith, not a cowardly submission to Caesar.
Amen

Lets not bow down to the government.
Let us be more concerned of the loss of souls from not going to church than the loss of souls to a virus thats 99 percent nonfatal.
We lose far more souls to the lack of attendance than to this virus.
Care for the flock .

Thank you for putting together this petition. Sadly, I would be willing to bet that this has been one of the lowest points of Eucharistic and Sacramental consumption in Church history. Let us pray for the souls that are being led to believe that life on earth has more importance than life everlasting.

My 24 year old daughter went to mass without a mask at at Andrews cathedral and was verbally attacked by a crazed women people have lost their minds! A perfect plan straight out of hell! And most of the shepherds act like a bunch of stupid cowardly lemmings. With no end in sight! God help us!

It has been over 1 year since my family of four has been to mass. I went to mass multiple times per week for years. This will be the longest period I have gone without stepping foot in a church.

Stop being lukewarm in regards to the abortion. Why did it suddenly become OK to experiment on an aborted fetus, (which is where the cell line came from to test vaccines), so that we could go back to “normal.” It’s never right to end someone else’s life so that we may live.
