I think that has varied pretty heavily by state. I don’t think there’s ever been a federally “mandated” lock down, though every state did something back in March 2020. Some states went through varying degrees of lockdown over time as “numbers” got “worse”. Freedom of movement was restricted to varying degrees in different states at different times over the last 28 months.
Outside the US the restrictions on freedom of movement have come and gone repeatedly through the last 28 months as well.
My understanding was that this was a mock argument because they cannot get this actually heard anywhere. I cannot confirm that, nor can I confirm that this is a legitimate recording from an actual proceeding. I do know they have an actual filing with the International Court.
This is historically and biblically inaccurate. Followers of the Way, a sect of the religion of Israel that was the first group of what we would think of as Christians, couldn’t celebrate a Thanksgiving sacrifice on the Sabbath. As such, they would celebrate the Mass, which was a Thanksgiving sacrifice, on the day after the sabbath to recognize Christ’s death on the cross. This is why Catholic Mass, which is the unbloody re-presentation of the sacrifice on Calvary as a Thanksgiving sacrifice, is celebrated on Sunday.
The Bible pretty explicitly states that Christ gave the power to forgive, or not forgive, sins to the 12 (John 20:23). The Catechism also says we are bound by the sacraments, but God is not (Catechism of the Catholic Church, paragraph 1257). In other words, God, in his infinite wisdom, can forgive sins outside of the sacrament of reconciliation. His power is not limited by the sacrament.
