City attorney comes after Archbishop Cordileone

Comment:
As I’ve noted before, the cathedral seats 2,400 persons. For Herrera to go after Archbishop Cordileone if he celebrates Mass with a dozen others is outrageous and political. There is no basis in public health or any science for the magical number of 12. Masses I’ve attended in the archdiocese have had limited capacity, social distancing and persons were masked and not singing. Of course, the priest (and deacon) and reader (when reading) and cantor (when singing) are not masked, but they’re far from each other and the congregation. Might Christians, Jews and others in San Francisco be permitted to have more than 12 if they put signs in front calling themselves WalMart, The Dollar Store, daycare centers, marijuana dispensaries or an “autonomous zone?”
