Closure of Churches for Public Worship

 I am sure that readers will be aware that the latest imposition of lockdown means that from today churches are closed for public worship but can be open for private prayer.  This means that the York Oratory will be closed during the times that Mass is offered.  However, Mass in the Extraordinary Form will be livestreamed  on the York Oratory's Youtube channel at noon on Sundays and at 8.15 am on weekdays.  

However, matters might change., as is hinted at in the following conversation between Sir Edward Leigh and the Prime Minister.

Edward Leigh said this in his speech: “... when I intervened on the Prime Minister a couple of days ago, he assured me that this was only a temporary ban on religious services. He took the trouble to come up to me before this debate and say, “Edward, we’re going to get churches open.” I said, “When?” He said, “Soon.” I understand that contacts are taking place with the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Archbishop of Westminster to try to get the churches open as soon as possible… I have received an assurance that churches, synagogues and mosques will open before 2 December, or at least by 2 December. On that basis, and on that basis only, I will vote with the Government.”

Sadly matters didn't change. I think poor Sir Edward was had by Mr Johnson.
