Do churches not have zoom meetings and email lists? Genuinely asking, as I'm not religious but my understanding is that remote worship is a pretty well-solved problem in abrahamic religion- radio, tv, mailing lists, zoom, etc.
- iammisc 5y agoWell as a Catholic, no. Mass is not valid via virtual 'remote' anything. Mailing lists? Sure. But mailing lists are run by google or other companies. Most people just text or call or tell people stuff using their mouths and ears
- KittenInABox 5y agoI mean given the poster I was responding to was talking about facebook groups I figure that "this is run by a company" is already done with. > Well as a Catholic, no. Mass is not valid via virtual 'remote' anything. I'm not Catholic, but when I google "Catholic mass zoom" I see a ton of stuff. Is there like a religious leadership/doctrine these are against or something?
- iammisc 5y agoCatholic mass is about receiving the eucharist. You can broadcast the mass but it's watching a TV show not getting a sacrament.

- inawarminister 5y agoYou're talking about Abrahamic so I'll chime in. For Muslims, remote worship is still not broadly accepted. Its better to do the prayers with your family or people you live with rather than doing it with a screen. However, remote discussions and teaching is okay. Not prayers or worship of God though.
- iammisc 5y agoI'm talking catholic which explicitly and unequivocally differentiates between remote and in person. Remote mass and communion is not possible period
