“We cannot accept to see the freedom of worship compromised.” Italy Coronavirus Covid19
Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte came under attack on Monday from Italy’s Catholic bishops and even some of his own cabinet members for refusing to reintroduce mass once the coronavirus lockdown is lifted.
The Mediterranean country’s official death toll of 26,664 is Europe’s highest and second globally only to the United States. Even museums will unlock their gates on May 18 in an effort to draw back tourists and help out Italy’s devastated hotel and services industry.Conte and Health Minister Roberto Speranza agreed with a scientific committee conclusion that “the elderly in the parish are too frail to risk”, La Repubblica daily wrote.“We cannot accept to see the freedom of worship compromised,” the Italian Episcopal Conference of the country’s top bishops said in a statement.
But Conte only allowed broader access to funerals and promised to look into how other religious curbs can be relaxed in the coming weeks.
