Italian Covid Christmas rules awaken debate about Midnight Mass (Crux)

Sandra Zampa, undersecretary of the Ministry for Health, said that Masses “will have to finish early with enough time to return home for the curfew at 10 PM. So around 8:30 PM”; the decision, she added, was “made in agreement” with the bishops’ conference. “Opposition to the measure,” according to the report, come “from two primary, and likely surprising, sources: Italian Masons and Italy’s far-right Lega party.”
