Re “High court rebukes California COVID worship limits,” Feb. 11:
According to Archbishop Cordileone, “this decision makes clear we can now return to worshiping safely without risk of harassment from government officials.” Too bad public safety and the science-based findings of most health experts during a raging pandemic (475,000 deaths nationwide, 45,000 California alone) didn’t figure in Archbishop Cordileone’s concerns, while such issues are the overriding concern in the minds of those big bad government officials. Wonder who it is who’s playing politics here and who is following the science and the experts.
It is much like the right-wing religious extremist sudden change on Supreme Court that made this decision, reversing almost all other courts dealing with pandemic decisions. Neither Archbishop Cordileone nor any of the justices has any background or training in science and health issues relating to the pandemic, which should be the only concern when so many are still dying every day.
