Lectures about COVID-19 Conspiracies?


Lectures about COVID-19 Conspiracies?

These are two of my dear friends and Franciscan Friar-priests, George and Juliano, who both died of COVID-19 early in 2021 during the pandemic.  

They were friars and also blood brothers, and passed away within a month of one another.  

It very much disturbs me to hear the words of those who lecture others with nonsense about COVID conspiracy theories.  

The reality of the virus, and the deaths of millions of people it has caused, some of whom were my friends, acquaintances, and parishioners, is very real to me.  These people unnecessarily passed away, and I believe responsible people in this world must do everything possible to end the spread of this virus and the misery and death it has caused everywhere on the globe.  

In my own bout with COVID-19, I’m grateful (and humbled) that I didn’t meet the same fate as my friends +George and his brother +Juliano.
