Papal Notes - Francis' Confrontation During Italy Lockdown

...even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows. Daniel 7:20
 
"While the closure of churches in Rome was still in effect
yesterday, Papal Almoner Cardinal Konrad Krajewski decided to keep his church open, telling Catholic media that “home should always be open to its children.
Yesterday Cardinal Angelo De Donatis, the Pope’s vicar for the diocese of Rome, announced that all the Catholic churches in Rome would be closed until April 3, 2020.
The decision, however, was reversed this morning, with parish churches and mission seats again open for private prayer and devotion. 
The cardinal vicar of Rome said the decision was made only “after consulting our bishop, Pope Francis.” 

In a statement issued earlier today, Cardinal De Donatis said that the churches were reopened after a “further confrontation with Pope Francis this morning.”
