I'm not criticizing Fr. Starbuck at all but I personally believe we should be willing to die to continue to attend Mass. I'm not talking about individual people staying home when they're sick, but shutting down a parish for any reason lets the devil win, in my personal opinion. Be smart (wash hands, open windows, spread out, have Mass OUTSIDE: OLHC is in California so the weather's good enough, etc). If I were Father Starbuck I would say Mass outside. They have enough land there. I get that it's easier said then done, but we must remember the martyrs. Fr. Perez talked about the courage of the martyrs and refusing the vaccine 2 weeks ago. Someone posted the video on the Fr. Perez thread. RIP Father Perez and I will be praying for Father Starbuck.  

agreed!

Is he a Novus Ordo indult priest?
As far as I know only Novus Ordo churches closed for illness during the lockdowns.
Neither priests nor faithful need to fear the flu with a .2% chance of death.
I hope there is another chapel for the parishioners to attend in the area.

Yes, we all prayed for Fr. Perez, and we all would have preferred that he not die. But with all due respect to the dead, it doesn't change the FACT that COVID-19 (whatever it is) has a 99.8% survival rate for those under retirement age. And even among the extreme elderly, the survival rate is something like 98.2%.

So let's not blow this out of proportion, or give in to the mania that is gripping so much of the world in paralyzing fear.

And whatever you do, please remember the COMMON SENSE that we all had before 2019. Masks do nothing. No matter HOW bad COVID 19 is, they are no more effective than dangling a lucky rabbits foot from your belt. That's how foolish you look, while wearing a mask. Or walking around with your thumb in your mouth. Totally ludicrous. Next, there is no such thing as "asymptomatic spread". If you aren't around someone who is coughing and hacking, and you reasonably wash your hands before you eat (after you've been to the store), then the only remaining way to catch COVID is from idiots who took the jab and are shedding whatever COVID is (graphene, protein strands, virus) like Santa Claus giving away gifts on Christmas. Finally, the PCR tests are totally bogus, as taught by the man who INVENTED the test (but, curiously, died right before COVID came out). The value of every PCR test given thus far is worth less than the contents of my SEPTIC TANK.
