Lausanne/Geneva/Fribourg Bishop Charles Morerod, Switzerland, suppressed all masses in the Canton of Geneva until May 15 – “including during the Easter period.”
His argument, "It's impossible to guarantee the two meters social distance between people."
Morerod admits that "it is vital for us to pray together and receive the Eucharist, but that doesn’t absolve us from the duty not to cause the death of others, and to obey the authorities of our rule of law."
