Paprocki: Stop ”Extraordinary” Pandemic Measures, Let Students Play Ball
Springfield’s Catholic bishop says it’s time for students to get back on the playing field… and for the state to end what he calls “extraordinary” measures against the coronavirus pandemic.
Appearing live on the WMAY Morning Newsfeed, Bishop Thomas John Paprocki said young people need to be active and take part in sports… and contends thay are at low risk of either catching the virus or spreading it to others. His statements, though, are contradicted by recent studies indicating children can catch and spread the virus to others.
Paprocki says there should be no more “lockdowns” that prevent people from going to church or earning a living...
On pretty much every social issue (denying funerals to gays, denying communion to anyone backing anything that whiffs of pro-choice and, of course, the country's terrible exorcist shortage), Paprocki is reliably 100% wingnut, so this is really no surprise.
Still, even by that standard, "pack the pews and fuck science" during a pandemic seems pretty hardcore nuts to my non-16th century ears.
But then again the pope never gave me one of those fancy red hats so what do I know? Maybe Paprocki is a helluva guy who happens to have been possessed by the undead spirit of the diabolical Tomás de Torquemada for the past 60 years, in which case let me say that I deeply regret my previous smartass remark about the country's terrible exorcist shortage.

Red Beanie hat or Chinese made MAGA hat?
Paprocki being diagnosed with Covid-19 in 3 weeks… 2 weeks… 1 week.
C'mon be honest, we'll all laugh.
I agree we need exorcist ready and capable clergy and ho fucking boy do we need them now. 43% of this country needs an exorcism.
The Archbishop of the San Francisco diocese gave a similar speech the other day, calling rules limiting (not forbidding, limiting) church attendance a "mockery". He's another Opus Dei type with a beef with Il Papa (what Italians call the Pope).
Well obviously we need an exorcist to straighten him out.,oh yeah
The collection plates are empty. That's all this is about. That's all it's ever been about.
Here is my offering as the plate comes by.
Is it 7 or 8 out of the 9 Scotus justices that are child sex assault survivors of the Church and inseminated with the teaching tenets (but not in the heart) by the guy in a dress.
Just know, Exorcisms are for a certain class of people.
