Table service.

Archbishop of Melbourne Peter Comensoli takes up the cudgel against the increasingly sinister sinophile Victorian premier Daniel Andrews, who has decided that if you want to go to Church you can stand outside. Comensoli, in today’s Herald Sun: “Churches, temples, synagogues and mosques are shut. ... Victorian people of faith are not too pleased at being forced to stand outside the doors of their sacred places to celebrate ... their ... beliefs and commitments. ... If they are gathering outside in the wind and rain... it’s pretty hard to explain why the doors of the cafe across the road are invitingly open.”

Fr. Anaya, parish priest of Sacred Heart in Wodonga wants to take matters into his own hands: “I might organise to book out a restaurant... stay there for two hours... first half hour as the service ... the rest of the time they can eat.”
