What is happening to the Church and the world under this
spreading of the China Virus is looking a lot like a heaven imposed
interdict... a Divine Interdict. Fr. John Hardon defines an interdict as
follows: INTERDICT. A censure forbidding the faithful, while still remaining in
communion with the Church, the use of certain sacred privileges, such as
Christian burial, some of the sacraments, and attendance at liturgical
services. It does not exclude from Church membership, nor does it necessarily
imply a personal fault of any individual affected by the interdict. When
imposed for a fixed period, it is a vindictive penalty because of some grave
act done against the common good of the Church by one or more parishes. Usual
religious services are curtailed, but sacraments may be given to the dying,
marriages celebrated, and Holy Communion administered if the interdict is
general or local (not personal). A general interdict may be inflicted only by
the Holy See. Parishes or persons may be interdicted only by the local
ordinary.
