No Masses In Rome And All Italy For Weeks

Masses with the presence of the faithful are suspended in all Italy until April 3 because of the coronavirus, the Italian bishops' conference decreed (below).

The new spokesman of the Vicariate of Rome, Father Walter Insero, told ANSA (March 8) about the situation in Rome: "The new government decree provides for this [which is not true]. We are taking steps to inform the parish priests."

In the Old Testament, the prophets would have called a similar situation a divine chastisement.

The President of Liguria, Italy, shared this article’s picture on Twitter showing a gathered crowd in Genoa on Sunday, March 8.

After all, it doesn't matter that there are no more conciliar masses, "new songs" as their maker himself called them! For the conciliar masses are very displeasing to God.

That's the Catholic Way to the hidden places like in the first days in Rome "Back to the catacombes"

Why Italy?
One thing that I’ve read from the late Fr. Gabriele Amorth’s books is that Italy is becoming less Catholic nowadays!, as Satanism is on the rise…
O’ Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on us!More

Are Italy's mosques still open? Nobody worries about "coronavirus" there, do they? This "temporary" suspension will be extended some time right before April. You heard it here first!

@Kevin Apparently I was correct. Officially the ban does apply to mosques as well. However, as I said, "nobody worries about 'coronavirus' there". They're still conducting services and the Italian police just 'threaten' to fine them. Threaten, as in they don't.

... seat of the Antichrist [doesn’t imply that Pope Francis, the False Prophet, is the Antichrist, only that he works for him]. The Apocalyptic Beasts are ruling.

This smells of the "smoke of satan" . That fissure Paul VI says he sensed just be quite the chasm by now. On the other hand , Jesus Christ spent his 40 days in the desert. Perhaps it is deemed necessary Rome should as well.

Nero and Diocletian failed to do it. The arena and the rack could not achieve it. But Catholic bishops have managed it with a pen-stroke. No Masses.

Rome to cancel the holy Sacrifice of the Mass for all of Lent, that is just one more sign, athat we are at the end of something serious.

In Italy bars and cafes remain open. But the public celebration of Mass is not allowed.
