President Harrison was irenic and not wrong. But I think, given a lot of recent events, that at some point the church should do more. It should send a clear message that those who hoard, gouge, look at their fellow creatures as vectors of disease, regard the precious body and blood of Our Lord itself as a possible contagion, that we should separate ourselves in the pews, flee from each other in the streets, forsake gatherings, are flat out wrong. All of this presupposes the primacy of material, earthly, existence over the eternal existence promised us by Our Lord, Jesus Christ.
