Holy Thursday during a pandemic
Fauci wants to abolish shaking hands as the new normal. Like the Church, he is overstepping.
Eucharist started within the context of Seder and Shabbat. Rabbis are not required. Perhaps we should begin to ignore the ban on doing as he did in our own homes; excommunication or not. We can still wash each other's feet. If priests truly appreciated the symbolism of the act, there could be no hierarchical clergy. We can certainly sing religious songs.
The Last Discourse could certainly be read in homes. In doing so, we may come to an even more radical conclusion: that the obedience God seeks from us is not the condemnation of personal sin, especially sins by others, but the propogation of Love in terms of accepting others as they are. This would be more radical than a DIY Eucharistic Prayer.
