Churches should have requested prior registrations to attend Mass. Then the identity can be checked before allowing in the church and only those who registered will attend. This can be followed for New Year Masses and all Sunday masses until the situation improves

Can we stop talking about this Easter Attack Friday, 25 December 2020 04:54 AM

In the thirty year war, thousands of civilians got killed by Sri Lankan military, Indian Army, LTTE terrorists, and other Tamil terrorists. In this context we have to have some balance about few hundred Catholics dying in the Muslim terrorism. We are tired about this Easter attack news all the time.
