I realize these restrictions were already eased but... I don't see how any locale can restrict religious service if it has indoor dining or bars open. If anything, the former can be done with masks. That said, it should be noted that singing/choir indoors is especially high-risk.https://twitter.com/stevenmazie/status/1331838731893043201 …

For all I know, the SCOTUS opinion is nonsense. No idea! Not commenting on that. I'm just pointing out that we have a legitimacy crisis. The restrictions don't seem to apply to leaders (Congress wants a banquet for newcomers etc.) or be narrowly-targeted by risk. So here we are.

I have zero opinion on the legal part. We have a legitimacy crisis. It's making it harder for us to convince people.https://twitter.com/sanfordmay/status/1332011589747224577 …

Ideally, in a rational society, there would be no distinction between the legitimacy and legal basis.

Also, the fact that US Constitution says we have *fundamental* right to freedom of religion, including the freedom to worship, not just believe. There's NO right to attend a bar, or eat in at a restaurant. I don't think this is so hard to see, but many are missing this entirely.

but even not on a legal basis, wouldn't legitimacy be addressed by closing bars etc? your point is well-taken

The state could pass a law to revoke the tax-exempt status of any organization that contributes to a public health burden, whether it be the Boy Scouts, an environmental advocacy group, or a religious organization.

The elephant in the room: this applies to schools, too.

no one is restricting services. it's restricting people who want to engage in behavior that spreads the virus. my church hasn't met since March but we have a broadcast service every week (new since covid began). the NY diocese is only concerned about collection plate income.
