Top Catholic leaders have issued a heartfelt appeal to government leaders, asking them to respect people’s rights and fundamental freedoms in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.

They question whether the danger from the virus has been overblown and demand that worshipers — now restricted by lockdown regulations — be able to congregate.

“The facts have shown that, under the pretext of the COVID-19 epidemic, the inalienable rights of citizens have in many cases been violated and their fundamental freedoms, including the exercise of freedom of worship, expression, and movement, have been disproportionately and unjustifiably restricted,’’ the letter states.
“Public health must not, and cannot, become an alibi for infringing on the rights of millions of people around the world, let alone for depriving the civil authority of its duty to act wisely for the common good.

“This is particularly true as growing doubts emerge from several quarters about the actual contagiousness, danger, and resistance of the virus. Many authoritative voices in the world of science and medicine confirm that the media’s alarmism about COVID-19 appears to be absolutely unjustified.’’

  the group blames “powers interested in creating panic among the world’s population with the sole aim of permanently imposing unacceptable forms of restriction on freedoms, of controlling people and of tracking their movements.

 “The imposition of such illiberal measures is a disturbing prelude to the realization of a world government beyond all control.’’
They also argue that in some cases, containment measures like the closing of shops and businesses have “precipitated a crisis that has brought down entire sectors of the economy.”

“Those with governmental responsibility must stop these forms of social engineering, by taking measures to protect their citizens whom they represent, and in whose interests they have a serious obligation to act.’’

A woman in Texas is sentenced to 7 days in jail for opening her business. This has gone too far and I can no longer remain silent. Here's what is going on. The rules we are being forced to live by is better known as an oxymoron. And I am personally finding this ridiculous. They use the words strict guidelines to tell us what is safe. And then threaten us with huge fines and now jail time.

Let me explain (strict guidelines.)

Strict: Demanding that rules concerning behavior are obeyed and observed.

Guidelines: A general rule, principle, or piece of advice. A piece of advice is all the CDC is doing, and all they constitutionally can do. The advice can be accepted or declined. Freedom of choice is being taken away, another word Liberty removed. I have lived my life, fighting for and always defending that one word, which to me means everything, liberty. Without it, you live on your knees. Who really said this we may never truly know, but still rings true for the American patriot. "Give me Liberty, or give me death!" Wake up America, Your government is taking over. 

 

A message to all the police officers enforcing these laws. You took an oath of office, in it you swore allegiance to the constitution of the United States. When you enforce a law that is not constitutional, you are betraying your oath, wake up, and follow the constitution.
