Advise from St Carlo Borromeo! {Remi Chiu, “Singing on the Street and in the Home in Times of Pestilence: Lessons from the 1576-1578 Plague in Milan"} #Covid19 #CHurches #ReOpenAmerica #Theology #CatholicTwitter" along with an image from a book that says "Ingrassia's equivocations betray the difficulty of reconciling religious zeal with public safety, and the belief in processions as a miracle cure with the fear of the ritual as a hotbed of contagion. What could the devout do, then, if they wished to participate in processions, but for reasons of illness and quarantine, or for fear of contagion, could not? A piece of advice from Borromeo is pertinent here; to those who could not attend mass in the midst of plague, he said, 'Go to church in spirit,' making viable the substitution of physical presence with an imaginative attendance."
