Catholic Culture’s Phil Lawler addresses what he sees as flaws in the response of Catholic leaders and the faithful to the pandemic, and advocates a different approach in his new book, Contagious Faith: Why the Church Is Hope, Not Fear, in the Pandemic. Is it necessary to spread the word?”
Topics covered in this interview include:
- How is the Church’s action during this pandemic different from St. Charles Borromeo’s oft-quoted response to the plague?
- Why must we be forced to confront civil authorities in order to ameliorate the bad precedent set for future actions against the church?
- How can the faithful encourage priests and bishops to resist unjustified restrictions on the Mass?
- Is there a moral obligation to take special measures to protect our neighbors from even the slightest risk of disease?
- Catholics must bear witness to the power of prayer and hope for eternal life
