Covid-19 is now officially a pandemic, WHO says

Same in Poland. Schools, kindergartens, universities all closed starting Monday (Thursday and Friday are "if you must" to give people time to cope), but from what I hear from people, the Church considers itself to be a "hospital for the soul", and "you wouldn't close hospitals during a pandemic". smh.

> "the virus cannot be spread through Communion"

I assume Greece is Catholic, right? Because pope himself told people to take the "spiritual communion" instead of the actual one, and yet the Church in Poland doesn't seem to care.

EDIT: sorry. Somehow I thought Orthodox is mainly in Russia. But my rant against Polish Catholic Church still stands. Pope himself shows people what to do, but in Poland, we're going to do the opposite.

Greeze is probably orthodox not catholic. There is a difference, but I'm not sure what other than they don't report to the Pope, and they do recognize the pope (and vise versa)

There are dogmatic differences such as the Filioque, where one Church says that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father only, whereas the other claims that it also proceeds from the son.

It's kind of like the systemd rageforks, only for sillier (unless you're religious, I guess) reasons:

I dunno, the details of Christian theology and doctrine and systemd doctrinal differences seem equally silly to me.

Until you get burnt by a bug/limitation which systemd team consider as feature.

Greece is Orthodox, but I imagine each franchise has some leeway in its marketing. It seems that ours are just excessively greedy.

it's Greek Orthodox Catholic, which is not a part of the Roman Catholic church.
