April 27, 2020 The Italian bishops even evoke the violation of "freedom of worship" and demands the return of the masses after the decision, announced yesterday evening by Conte, on the basis of the indications of the Scientific Technical Committee ("the participation of the faithful ... involves critical issues cannot be eliminated "), with which the closure of the masses is extended even after May 4 with the participation of the faithful, on which the Italian Church had instead requested a reopening respecting the anti-contagion security conditions. A waiver was granted by the executive only for the celebration of the funeral, which will however be attended by a limited number of people, only close relatives.The hard clash led to Palazzo Chigi in the evening to specify that in the coming days "a protocol will be studied which will allow the faithful to participate in liturgical celebrations as soon as possible in conditions of maximum security". Also in light of the contrary positions within the Executive (Minister Bonetti asked to review the decision) the Council Presidency late in the evening announced that it had "taken note" of the communication of the CEI made after the press conference of the Prime Minister.
The maintenance of the 'no' to the liturgies with the presence of prsone did not go down to the CEI, which issued a very hard note yesterday evening. "The Italian Bishops - the CEI said - cannot accept to see the exercise of freedom of worship compromised. It should be clear to everyone that the commitment to service to the poor, so significant in this emergency, stems from a faith that it must be able to feed on its sources, in particular sacramental life ", affirms the Italian Bishops' Conference in the statement.

The Avvenire newspaper speaks of "a very serious mistake", which will be "very difficult to understand" why "is a short-sighted and unjust choice. And the sacrifices are understood and accepted, the injustices no".
