The Catholic Monitor commenter Aqua  had this to say to the Vox Cantoris website:   Aqua  said…   Fred, your topic here reminds me of a dust-up, a few days ago, on Vox  Cantoris.  He asserted that it is our duty as Christians to wear masks  to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass if the government tells us we must, or  they will close our Churches. My response to him was that I find  it inconceivable that an orthodox Catholic, such as himself, would ever  submit to unjust dictates from secular government over how we approach  Our Lord in Holy Mass.  My response to him was that the Mass belongs to  Catholics and we decide, within the bounds of Tradition, and in accord  with the Word of Jesus, how we conduct ourselves in Holy Mass.  Only one  authority prevails over Mass and that is our God and the Sacred  Tradition given by Him to guide us in all times and places. Understand,  there  is nothing inherently wrong with wearing a mask to Mass.  But  there is EVERYTHING wrong with wearing a symbol...
