If many have distanced themselves from the church,
it is precisely because the church has
estranged itself from humanity.
But a church that can feel as its own all that is human,
such a church will be Christ loved and awaited, Christ present.
And that depends on us. - O. Romero

As a former secretary of labor, I can tell you that we shouldn't be talking about stimulating the economy or going back to work.

We should be talking about shutting down the economy and keeping people home, with enough money so they can pay their bills.
