CWN Editor's Note: Msgr. Charles Pope—who cautioned against irrational fears during the Covid lockdown—now writes that we must recognize the “horrific toll these draconian measures took on our human family.

In a column for the National Catholic Register, Msgr. Pope observes:

Few came out of this horrifying period with a higher opinion of or trust in political leaders, the CDC, the wider scientific community and the media. As the last COVID restrictions end, I can only pray that we learned important lessons and never again allow ourselves to so readily hand over important freedoms and our precious liturgy and sacraments.
