By Dominic V. Cassella, The Catholic Thing - I recently gave a short lecture on the nature of prayer to my local parish. Afterward, one of the parishioners came up to me and asked me if I had ever given any thought to what American Christianity looked like... The question arose from a passage I had quoted from St. Gregory the Great’s letter to St. Augustine of Canterbury. Gregory had sent Augustine from Rome to evangelize the people in what today is the United Kingdom. Augustine, observing that these people had no Christianity and consequently no Christian liturgy, asked Pope Gregory if he should simply import the liturgy from Rome.

By Victoria White Berger, American Thinker - The shutdown/lockdown of many Catholic churches during COVID was an ugly shock to practicing Catholics, who count on the weekly/daily Mass, most notably the Eucharist, for their entire well-being.  You wouldn’t have to look far (with doubtless some noble exceptions) to see the hand of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) in the reactionary and unfaithful COVID response that shut down Catholic worship, for years in many cases.
