Earlier this week, Quebec’s Minister of Health and Social Services, Christian Dubé, announced that churches and places that serve alcohol must lower their capacity to no more than 50 people, according to The Christian Post.

Areas hit hard by COVID, such as Montreal and Quebec City, that have been labeled “orange” for infections, must restrict their indoor facilities’ capacity to only 25 people present.

Yet religious leaders find the announcement troubling as other indoor facilities are exempt from the new ruling, including auditoriums, cinemas, theaters, and audiovisual recording studios. These places may have 250 people present.

“Epidemiological investigations have shown that outbreaks are more particularly linked to gatherings,” said the Health and Social Services department in a statement. “Thus, public health therefore recommends tightening the rules relating to gatherings in order to protect the population.”

Bishop Pierre Goudreault, head of the Roman Catholic Dioceses of Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pocatiere believes the ruling is discrimination as no Catholic church has experienced an outbreak. Mass participants have practiced the three “W”s: “watch your distance, wear your mask, and wash your hands,” according to a report by RealClearScience.

“With approximately 17,000 parishes in America typically holding three or more weekend…

Months after the death of Breonna Taylor, a grand jury has decided to indict one of the three police officers involved in the police shooting of the 26-year-old emergency room technician.

On Wednesday, a grand jury indicted former Louisville police detective Brett Hankison on three felony charges of first-degree wanton endangerment.

Hankison was charged with endangerment because he was found to have fired his weapon into a covered glass patio door and window, a move that is in clear violation of a department policy dictating that an officer must have a clear line of fire before discharging his or her weapon. Reportedly, at least one bullet fired from Hankison’s gun traveled through Taylor’s apartment wall and into the adjoining residence where a pregnant woman, her husband and their 5-year-old child were sleeping. None of them were harmed.

Hankison, who was not brought up on charges for Taylor’s death, has since been fired from the force.

In his dismissal letter issued in June, the Louisville Police Department argued that Hankison showed “extreme indifference to the value of human life” when he “blindly fired” 10 times into Taylor’s apartment.

The other two officers involved, Sargent Jonathan Mattingly and Deputy Myles Cosgrove, were not indicted by the grand jury.

According to the Washington Post, Mattingly, who suffered a gunshot wound to the upper thigh, was the only…

Evangelist Anne Graham Lotz is issuing an urgent call to repentance, warning that America has a “small window of opportunity” to return to God, that, if not taken, will incite severe judgment.

In an interview with The Christian Post, Lotz, founder and president of Angel Ministries, said the United States has repeatedly “shaken its fist” in God’s face, removing His name everywhere from schools to the government. 

“When you do that, God just backs away,” she said, citing Romans 1, which speaks of the retributive judgment of God. 

“God gives us over to ourselves, and I believe that is where we are right now; it really is the judgment of God,” Lotz said. “America has a window of opportunity to return to the Lord, but it’s just a window, and it’s going to close. We’re going to find our nation without God, and without Him, we don’t have His protection, we don’t have His wisdom.”

“If we’re not careful, we’re going to totally lose our way,” she stressed. “America will become unrecognizable. The world is a…
