The New Normal. Throughout the past year, this phrase has been repeated over and over,
and it's become the unofficial slogan of the COVID-19 so-called pandemic. Books have been
written, movies have been produced, it's been touted non-stop by politicians and mainstream
media. The New Normal. America's new.
normal just going back to normal isn't going to solve it we need a new normal
our new normal, so what exactly will that look like?
continue to have online consultations with health professionals instead of an inconvenient
in-person visit.
Amalie DeSilva-Mitchell, who works in internet
governance processes says in-person social life with a human touch will be
restricted. Michael Zimmer of Marquette University says the new normal will
consist of reduced in-person schooling and Jay Owens, research director at Pulsar
Platform, says about the new normal, people will have significantly fewer
friends as relationships dwindle given the lack of regular in-person contact.
We need to interact, we need our friends, we need our families, we need the organizations we belong to.
If we just accept, oh, we're going to be, you know, become hermits and more isolated.
Well, that's, you know, I don't think human beings are going to really accept that.
And I think that's sort of coming out right now.
In the earlier stages of the COVID shutdowns, schools were massively affected.
virtual learning only, according to this study.
Along with students not being able to go to school,
many thousands of companies went out of business
and unemployment skyrocketed.
For most schools that did allow in-person learning,
the COVID guidelines were seemingly infinite.
Masks, even at outdoor recess and sporting events,
social distancing, even plexiglass around desks.
All of this was not restricted to schools,
it was applied to churches and every other institution as well.
This dehumanization had a major impact.
Months went on.
Depression and suicide increased globally,
and in December of 2020,
A CDC report shows that more than 40% of U.S. adults say that they've had at least one mental
health effect during the pandemic, and now a portion of those are leading to suicide.
Around that same time, a Gallup poll revealed American's mental health was at a new low,
going from 43% in 2019, all the way down to 34% the next year.
Likewise, a Pew Research survey showed just months later, more than one in five adults
in the U.S., 21%, are experiencing high levels of psychological distress.
Schools and churches shut down across the world, businesses destroyed, jobs lost,
suicide and depression, mask mandates, and the answer from the so-called experts
is to not go back to living in normal society, but to remain isolated and virtual.
This advice runs contrary to Catholic social teaching.
The human person needs to live in society.
Society is not for him an extraneous addition, but a requirement of his nature.
Aquinas follows Aristotle and points out that one of the human inclinations,
I think he lists five, one of the ones towards the end, says that we are social creatures.
We're social creatures because of our nature. We're drawn to one another.
In Mystici Corporis by Pius XII, he says in section 89,
For the divine Redeemer is most closely united not only with his church,
which is his beloved spouse, but also with each and every one of the faithful.
All prayers of the greatest help to the mystical body in which,
through the communion of saints, no good can be done, no virtue practice,
practiced by the individual members, which does not redound also to the salvation of
all."
And what this is talking about is the communion of saints, which is also an article of the
apostles
Creed, we say, I believe in the holy catholic church, the communion of saints.
They're connected to one another. The church, of course, has three aspects.
There's the church militant, and there's the church triumphant,
and there's the church suffering. The church triumphant are those who have
already made it into heaven, and the church suffering is those who are in
purgatory passing through who will ultimately go to the church triumphant,
and then there's the church militant, which is us still here on earth.
Recently in some states, proof of COVID shots is becoming a requirement.
This is a shot of using the immunoband to get into Madison Square Garden.
How do you know who's vaccinated?
And this is a visible symbol of the vaccination.
Some cities, like Dallas, are not waiting for people to get the injection, but rather
going out and finding people.
Also, you'll be able to enjoy going out again.
Following the herd is the Diocese of St. Cloud, Minnesota.
On May 19th, this letter was sent out.
I strongly encourage that only fully vaccinated individuals, including priests,
distribute Holy Communion so that all feel safe in receiving the sacrament.
Sincerely, yours in Christ, Donald J. Kettler.
The new normal is pushed by the globalist agenda.
The World Health Organization, a branch of the United Nations, is the biggest promoter,
and its plans are lockstep with the World Economic Forum's Great Reset.
to go back to a kind of new normal, and finally the reset.
The key to addressing the challenge at Davos is to think, to realize each of us
must have access to private property in the things that are changing the world.
the fastest. And so I would boil it down to four words, own or be owned. And we must figure
out a way that each and every one of us can become owners of productive wealth.
