Knox city and Knox county, Tennessee, issued guidelines for re-opening society on May 1 after the coronavirus crisis. They include a section for places of worship.
The guidelines allow only a “core worship,” but ban Holy Communion and baptism, “The physical taking of communion/sacrament should not be performed due to the serial breaking of physical distancing across a congregation.”
Catholics and also Baptists and Methodists are therefore to “consider guiding parishioners in how to connect with the spiritual aspects of these practices during this phase.”
The Church has so long played fast and loose with Holy Communion that this governmental ban may prevent more sacrileges than graces.

One lawsuit and this will evaporate. It's a no-brainer violation of the 1st Amendment. Trivia Bonus: The mayor of Knoxville is a Democrat.

So, a secular governor is banning the "physical taking of sacraments." Are we going along?
