The Roman Catholic Diocese of Rome decided to reopen the parish churches of the capital of Italy. The decision, however, stipulates that no liturgies will be performed and the faithful will not receive the Eucharist.

“We must not leave our flock alone. Drastic decisions are not always good,” Pope Francis said. He also hopes that the Holy Spirit helps the clergymen understand which is the better stance to take at that extremely serious time.

Finally, in the Roman Catholic Church, it is forbidden to the faithful to use the holy water font, that is the vessel containing holy water at the entrance of Roman Catholic churches.
