(ChurchLeaders) In a letter published on RealClearScience.com, physicians explain how America’s Catholic churches have been able to conduct more than 1 million worship services without causing COVID-19 outbreaks. And that’s despite the fact that several asymptomatic individuals are known to have attended worship or church functions.
The doctors, members of the Thomistic Institute’s Working Group on Infectious Disease Protocols for Sacraments and Pastoral Care, say the findings “should inspire confidence that the guidelines in place—based on CDC recommendations—are working to decrease COVID-19 transmission” among worshipers and church leaders.
