I just wanted to point out that it seems like it’s only white people church where they feel like they can defy the government.

To wit, Faith Victory church in Frankfort, KY, which also barred a reporter:

Then there was Metro Praise International, a church located in the Belmont Cragin neighborhood in Chicago, but where most of the attendees come from outside the area. In fact, the pastor lives in the west suburbs. I personally HATE these carpetbagging churches. Hate, hate, hate!!!

BELMONT CRAGIN — On Sunday morning, Joe Wyrostek was determined to get back to normal.

Wyrostek drove from his home in the west suburbs to Metro Praise International, an evangelical church nestled in a Belmont Cragin storefront. Before stepping inside, Wyrostek planted a white wooden cross on the sidewalk, with TV news trucks in full view.

Outside the church, community leaders have spent weeks scrambling for resources as COVID-19 infection and death rates soar in the predominately Latino neighborhood.

Inside, Wyrostek greeted his congregants, the majority of whom are not Belmont Cragin neighbors. It’d been seven weeks since there was a service, the pastor said — enough time for people to know whether they are sick or healthy.

“Gathering together is a command,” Wyrostek said.

Mayor Lori Lockwood is having none of this.

That defiance led Lightfoot to tweet Monday morning, “It doesn’t matter who you are or what you’re doing. When you gather like this, you are putting yourself and your loved ones in serious danger.”
