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.

To VAX or NOT to VAX!

Fr. Bill addresses the controversy over Covid Vaccinations.  He talks about the issue of “Forced” Vaccinations, and addresses the ethical questions people raise with regard to taking the Vaccine.

(note – Fr. Bill is NOT speaking as an official spokesperson of the Catholic Church.  Rather, he speaks as a pastoral minister who has had to address this in discussions with those who have approached him for advice and guidance.)

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

Is it wrong to challenge authority?
