Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone is urging the faithful to call Mayor Breed's office to tell her to remove restrictions on public worship.
Her office number is (415) 554-5977.
The following are some talking points from the Benedict XVI Institute:
- Be sure to be polite: you are witnessing to Christ's love here.
- Be sure to make it clear we follow safety rules: masks, social distancing, ventilation, sanitation.
- But also be sure to tell her: Only one person in church at a time to pray? This is mocking God. Be sure to tell her: It's unfair to let people shop for shoes at Nordstrom's for hours, but bar the door to our own Churches for worship.
- Be sure to tell her: Catholics are being singled out for unfair treatment.
- Be sure to tell her: This is discrimination. There is no other word for it.
