“We’re gradually moving in that direction, but there’s no doubt, the most important thing is we do not want parishioners to get ill because their faith leaders bring them together,” Pritzker said.

Last time I checked the constitution, freedom of religion was a basic right not to be abridged. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few

“The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.” Be careful if you think that line of argument is sancrosanct; it isn’t. It sounds nice, but it leads to nowhere good sometimes in terms of the U. S. Constitution at least. The counter argument there is “might doesn’t make right.”

Underlying Racism and Social Justice disguised as Safety. Most have caught onto this doublespeak. It’s the same as teachers striking saying “It’s for the Children”.

“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.” -C.S. Lewis

She might as well just come out and say that she hates bronze aged religions. She’s OK with iron age religions – Islam – but hates much any religion that came before Mohammad. She’s personally is more into the stone age belief systems of Sodom and Gomorrah. Whatever those people believed, she’s totally into it. Infanticide, human sacrifice, gluttony, false idols, you name it.
