REASON VS. EMOTION

The End of the Pandemic

As eager as people were to mask up and get vaxed at the height of the pandemic because “we were all going to die” if we didn’t.  How eager are people now to move on, maskless and unafraid, now that the Pandemic is beginning to wane?

Fr. Bill reflects upon the experience of the Covid Pandemic and what we could and should expect from people as the world begins to return to normal.

The Emperor’s New Virus – Challenging the “Experts”
