Kochi: The KCBC has said that all the rules and regulations stipulated by the government must be strictly adhered to. The statement is in the backdrop of the opening of various places of worship under the Catholic Church. Meanwhile, some dioceses have decided to close down the shrines even though the concessions are available. KCBC said the church’s stand is that the church should not be opened in cases where it cannot be guaranteed security. When the temples are opened and the worship is conducted, it is necessary to stop the rituals if they are aware of the possibility of the virus spreading. The dioceses can behave this way wisely. This approach has been adopted in all dioceses of the Catholic Church.
The lockdown policy for the Covid19 defense is the first step taken worldwide and in our country. It got its own results. But with the aim of bringing concessions back to normal, as a second step, policy changes have taken place in all countries. India too has taken such an approach.
As the travel of the people, the sale of essential commodities, the construction of factories, the functioning of the factories and the complete functioning of government offices have become commonplace, the need for the worship of God, which is one of the most basic needs of man, has increased on many levels. There were different opinions. In this backdrop, the KCBC spokesperson said that the Government of Kerala has also given conditional permission to open the places of worship. Dr. Varghese Vallikattu said.
