John Waters is a brave and astute commentator, but his writing style has become more and more overheated. He seems to see everything in cosmic, apocalyptic terms.

But things are pretty bad aren't they? We all have to decide every day whether we are "going along to get along" or submitting to tyrants. I heard Mark Little on Newstalk this morning talking about his business which, using humans and artificial intelligence, can detect "misinformation" and counter it. Mark and Jonathan, who was interviewing him, don't seem to have any doubts that they (or their employers) are right. To me, it's like they are trying to hold back a dam.

I suppose my critique of Waters is that everything is always about everything to him-- he finds it hard to treat any subject separately.

I see Ryan air has a new advertisement. Jab & Go. We are living through a dystopian Novel.

The Greek Orthodox church has decided to defy a state ban on the Divine Liturgy during the week. Greece has I believe the highest regular practice rate in Europe.
Switzerland is to hold a binding Covid restriction referendum in June. Liberty is not dead in some small nations.

Why there is no alternative public narration to Covid-19 in Ireland ? Why we allowing to establish tyrany ? "'But, Reverend Mother,if an agent of the Commission of Health-' 'St Benedict II defied Constantin Pogonat over a matter of burial.' '-or the Commissioner of Police-' 'Chonodemaire,one of the seven German kings who joined the Gauls in the reign of Constantine, expressly acknowledged the right of members of religious orders to be buried in a place of religion,that is to say under the altar.' '-or an inspector from the Prefecture-' .....'I have Benedict on my right hand and Bernard on my left.... Bernard on one side and sanitation on the other; Benedict and the Inspector of Roadways! The State,the roads,the undertaker's parlour, regulations and administration- what have we to do with those things? No onlooker cares for the way we are treated. We have not even the right to consign our dust to the Lord...' Fauchelevent had fidgeted in discomfort under this tirade" Although it only concerned two minor characters,I've always thought that the interview between the Mother Prioress of Petit-Picpus and her gardener was the jewel of Les Misérables. How we could apply both sides of the argument to covid restrictions!(congratulations,all the same, to the Arundel Poor Clares producing a cd of hymns during a year when they were often deprived of mass; different direction to the fabled Parisian nuns there) I don't deny that significant virus deaths have occurred but statements about the Norway Pfizer vaccination deaths are worth a look at- "the deaths were recorded among very frail patients including some who were anticipated to only have weeks or months to live' the Therapeutic Goods Administration said in a statement" Surely similar disclaimers would be fitting for general covid death statistics? Or are lockdowns so important to bureaucracy that death numbers without footnotes must be constantly churned out?

youtu.be/614h9RyAdosThis is a video from Human Life International Ireland from a month ago which talks about the response to Covid including a perspective on the Bishops' document from around that time.

RTE prime time did a item on the origins of Covid in China last week to my great surprise. It was critical of the communist party line but did point out most Chinese believe the state. In fact most hold to the line foreign (American) athletes brought the virus to Wuhan.

Good article on Catholic Herald site about the covid 19 disaster in Brazil where the government did not lock down and where some of the bishops put worship on line to protect people and clergy. I am unable to copy the link.

Came across this critical voice on the virus business during the week, another psychiatrist, a Jewish Harvard-educated man apparently with several engagements and some healthy scepticism in regard not only to the highly shifting and nebolous numbers in statistics but very much towards the origin and the patterns in its spread and forced "treatments". If this is not a PLANdemic but only a random normal virus spread, how could it be framed as so devastatingly "neverending" in nature? (my question not his) breggin.com/coronavirus-resource-center/

He could kill two birds with the one stone by phasing out the bouncy castle catholics by restricting those sacraments to those families who turn up on Sundays in normal times. As they are a minority, with a little tweaking this shouldn't break Covid restrictions either.

I remember before my own First Confession wondering why we had to tell our sins to a priest at all. Why not just directly tell them to God and ask forgiveness when praying.
