President Trump on Friday announced that new Centers for Disease Control guidance will classify houses of worship as “essential,” as he called on governors to allow them to open “right now” after being closed during the coronavirus lockdowns. (Snip) "The governors need to do the right thing and allow these very important essential places of faith to open right now--for this weekend," Trump said. "If they don't do it, I will override the governors." "In America, we need more prayer not less," Trump said.

"Religion is the opiate of the masses." - Marx.
If you look at Democrat actions through the lens of Marxism, you understand them perfectly. For some reason, they don't apply the same disapproval to Islam. I suspect that in many cases it's simple cowardliness. They feel like they can bully around Christians, because in general Christians won't retaliate by shoving a knife in their chest.

The NYT is blathering he has no clear authority to do this. What was the clear authority that locked them down?
Guidelines. All guidelines. Run amok. And at least one parish hae its church burned to the ground.

Some of the liberal media is reporting that President Trump ordered that all Churches, Synagogues, and other places of worship open up this weekend.
But Trump did no such thing, what he did was say that the Governors should allow those places to open without further hindrance. It is to be a voluntary move by those places, some may want to open and some will not want to open, Trump did not interfere with those decisions and also the decisions made by the people all over the country to attend or not to attend religious services. Its still up to the people running the services to use common sense and abide by reasonable guidelines.

God Bless President Trump. He knows how essential it is for people to be able to go to church to pray.
I heard someone say that they allow one thousand people in Home Depot, but they only want to allow ten people in church. Something is really wrong with a lot of people who are in charge in our country.

Perhaps the President should declare senior citizens essential and should not be sent back to nursing homes to die. Certain Democrat governors don't seem to get that.

I do appreciate President Trumps effort in this regard, I just wish he hadn't made the call on a Friday. There are Saturday worshipers and Sunday worshipers for whom the short notice may not be timely for this weekend.

Everything in our society is essential. You had no right to shut it down. Sue.

I truly believe that President Trump is a genius!!!!!
This is a "no win for the Demon-Rats. If they attack it (as some will do), all the sane people of this country will be really uncomfortable with them attacking Christianity so blatantly. As much as they have been trying to destroy Christianity and Judaism in this country, they still haven't succeeded.
But if they don't attack it, then President Trump just looks strong and in-charge!!!
In either case, President Trump -- and by association all sane Americans -- wins!!!!!!!!!
