The priest isn’t being body tackled for wearing a mask, so, despite the gun, this is not in the United States.
“gonna to” what in the name of the mason dixon line
“Alright you’re nonchalant quit rubbing our noses in it!”
I mean… this picture exists for a reason
Pandemic story is what?
Took me a minute to figure out that the gun is an infrared thermometer. At least I hope it is.
My assumption was a water pistol.
Aha maybe you are right.
Water pistol
I’m pretty sure it’s “holy water” in a squirt gun. As if aquatic born pathogens don’t exist.
I’m pretty sure this is entirely about covid, and as far as religion goes it’s pretty sensible. Priest looks catholic given the robe, stolle (iirc easter season stolles are always worn in baptisms), and general vibe. I assume the Magesterium gave specific instructions on how to perform sacraments during the covid lock downs. This wasn’t catholicism’s first pandemic and they’ve already done the whole “make it worse to beg to be spared” thing that a lot of protestants did during covid.
If it was about immunocompromisation the priest would likely be scrubbed down and using freshly blessed freshly sanitized water.
I mean, religion is kind of a disease.
You hope priests are practicing medicine?
I didn’t figure out that the person was a priest until someone explained about holy water.
Listen, America is a backwards country in a lot of ways, but we dont have our physicians wearing robes and stolles yet. Thats for project 2026
Ohh, yes! I’ve felt that culture shock before. I think it’s because American churches don’t look like churches. At least they don’t generally build traditional cathedrals unless they’re Catholics. They have what feels like office spaces with a choir room.
Yeah… we have zero architecture here in the States.
Just a bunch of flimsy garbage
Oh, don’t get me wrong, they’re pleasantly bland. It’s just not what I used to believe churches were like before I visited. Lol
Squirt gun? Duhh
