I think a couple of things.

You have eloquently and accurately stated the legal rights involved.

You also clearly understand that the restriction of the rights of those you disagree with, will ultimately end up with your rights being restricted as well down the road.

Having said that. most churches have willingly suspended gatherings for the greater good of all.. Which is a good thing.

Which has ZERO to do with the point that DS has made.

And that's fine. Willingly choosing to do so is the choice and rights of the church.
And if they chose otherwise, legally speaking, there is nothing legally that can be done about it.
The constitution of the United States is very clear on this. No ambiguous language in this one, no "well regulated church" language.

No constitutional rights are being violated. These are temporary executive orders that will be rescinded once the ok is given. There is no violation of the constitution here. I think this whole thing as overblown but please don't warp this into something it's not... and educate yourselves on basic civics.

Tell you what. Quote Matthew 6:5 for us. Then go sit in the corner and shut the fuck up. Unless you really need the next 4 pages where you will use your usual argument of "nuh uh!!" when people prove you wrong.

Ya know, y'all should hear me out on this one. I have no interest in organized religion. I think a lot of it is just a last vestige of a fundamental basic human psychological fear of death. I have no dog in the religious fight other than to say that regardless of how silly I find it our country has protected the right and that's all there is to it. Its protected.

But you damn sure will tell those who do that they don't know what they are talking about.

It still is protected.

Are you actually making the claim that every religion follows the new testament?
Mac, you are better than that. Find a legal claim.

Saying the Constitution? Well Matthew 6 says this is kinda missing the point.

sucky thing is if people were to pack churches and get slammed with sickness there would be no acceptance of it being their own fault. then you have a ton of sick old people heading to the hospital.

messy situation.

I see ZERO quotes from DS in this reply.

The point YOU made was that you were unable to congregate. I pointed out that you not being able to congregate was due to an Archdiocese decision that went into effect earlier than anything JB put into place.

If you did a little research for once in your life, the only people crying about not being able to get together are people who follow the NT. They are, to use Jesus words not mine, hypocrites. So just stop.

To put this another way I think its dumb as hell to get into a big group of people right now whether they are worshipping Jesus or the Chicago Cubs. But legally restricting any religious group from gathering is unconstitutional.

Perhaps the state of emergency powers can be invoked on some level but I'm curious whether that holds up to constitutional standards. It will take a lawsuit to find out.

On a larger level, better definitions of what is a state of emergency and what limitations the governor has when invoking those powers will be necessary. That is becoming increasingly clear.

smh

That are currently restricting the free exercise of religion. Like receiving communion, as DS pointed out.

Having said that, I'm OK with how he Cardinal has stepped up on this.

_________________

This is not a constitutional violation if deemed an emergency. Never has been.

So if the church takes away your rights, thats OK.

Its funny that it takes you replying to somebody else for you to acknowledge my point. And that I was right. Again.

Also, communion is not fully restricted, if a patient needs his last rites, a priest is allowed into the hospital room(no matter how locked down) to administer it. Please gather all facts before posting.

In the case of one organization, perhaps but there are more religions than yours.
Many are ok with the choice of the cardinal. Such as you and Seacrest. You're chosen to not practice your freedom of religion in that manner.
Apparently other religions in other places aren't so happy about it. There have been charges against religious leaders for holding services.
