Contagion in the Bible:
Introduction: This is a brief, and not comprehensive, examination of some texts of the scripture concerning contagion in scripture.
 
Chapter 1: The Plagues at the Time of Moses
 
Background:
 
In the 13^th Century B.C.E. the Israelites found themselves as slaves in Egypt. God told Moses to inform the Pharaoh that the people were to go into the desert to pray to God. The Pharaoh refused and God promised to bring his people to freedom and he sent ten plagues upon Egypt.
 
The Event:
 
The fifth plague was pestilence. In Exodus 9:3 God gives the warning that he will afflict the horses, asses, camels, herds and flocks with a severe pestilence. All the livestock of the Egyptians died, but the livestock of the Israelites was spared.
 
The sixth plague was the boils. In Exodus 9:9 God promises to send dust that will cause festering boils on humans and beasts. So it happened to the Egyptians and their animals, but the Israelites were spared.
 
Many want to know if the plagues were miracles or natural disasters. Many simply ask if they are real. These disasters were known to happen in ancient Egypt. No matter what happened God freed Israel from Egypt. It may have been through natural disasters or miracles or some way we cannot fully discover so many years later.
 
Read Exodus 9:1-12
 
Chapter 2: The Philistine Capture of the Ark and The Return of said Ark
 
Background:
 
Philistines:
 
These people were known as the “sea peoples” who were known to invade the eastern coastlands of the Mediterranean Sea around the twelfth century B.C.E. They were feared for they had learned to use iron and made better weapons than their enemies. The most notorious Philistine character in scripture is Goliath (1 Samuel 17:1-58).
 
Ark of the Covenant:
 
The ark of the covenant was a small wooden box about the size of a fruit crate. It was kept in a tent sanctuary when the people were in the wilderness. It was adorned with a plate of gold, called the mercy seat. The Israelites believed it to be the throne of God. Eventually the ark of the covenant was taken into Jerusalem by David. Later, Solomon build the Temple in Jerusalem and the ark of the covenant was placed in the sanctuary of the Temple. This was the center of worship for the Israelites.
 
The Event:
 
Around the eleventh century B.C.E. the Israelites were attacked by the Philistines and the Philistines captured the ark of the covenant. In one sense the Israelites feared that the presence of God had been taken from them. The Philistines may have thought they had captured the power of their enemy. They placed the ark next to an image of their god, Dagon in their pagan temple of Dagon. When the Philistines arose from sleep and went to the temple of Dagon, Dagon was lying in front of the ark of the covenant, as in worship of God. Dagon’s head and hands were broken off. Soon the Philistines were inflicted with some sort of contagion. The scripture reports that they were inflicted with tumors or hemorrhoids. Scholars have proposed that there may have been an infestation of rodents in the Philistine camp and they may have suffered from the bubonic plague. The Philistines sent the ark away and gave a guilt offering to the Israelites. It is a wonderful presentation of the holy book about what happens when you mess with God and his people.
 
Read: 1 Samuel 4:1-11, 1 Samuel 5:1-12, 1 Samuel 6:1-18
 
Chapter 3: The Assyrian Siege of Jerusalem (701 B.C.E.)
 
Background:
 
Assyrians:
 
There are historical references to a people known as the Assyrians back to 2000 B.C.E. They took their name from their major city, Assur. There were struggles for leadership of the region against the rulers of Babylon, a city about two hundred miles southeast of As­sur. Assyria was located in the area now known as Iraq.
 
The Assyrians have a reputation as warmongers. They often tried to negotiate disputes with their neigh­bors, but more frequently their kings used tactics of terror that made the Assyrians a feared people who were despised throughout the Near East.
 
The height of Assyrian domination came in the seventh century B.C.E. In the reign of Ashurbanipal (668 to 627 B.C.E.), the As­syrians ruled the largest empire in the world-including what is now Iraq, Syria, Leba­non, and Jordan; much of Egypt; and some of Turkey.
 
The Assyrians were one of the first nations to train a professional army and to deploy it in battle.
 
At its peak, the Assyrian Empire was overextended. They were doomed to collapse. Fifteen years after Ashurbanipal’s death, Nineveh fell to the Babylonians.
 
King Hezekiah:
 
The unfaithful King Ahaz dies and his son Hezekiah takes over the throne is faithful to God. He destroys the pagan shrines and even the bronze serpent of Moses (Numbers 21:8-9), which the people have begun to worship.
 
In the sixth year of Hezekiah’s reign, the northern king­dom of Israel falls to Assyria, and its upper class and intellec­tuals are deported into exile. When Hezekiah considers the idea of revolting against Assyria, Isaiah is told to warn him by walking around Jerusalem in a loincloth, as a symbol of how Judah, the southern kingdom, will be sacked if it revolts.
 
In the fourteenth year of Hezekiah’s reign, Assyria sacks the Judaean cities north of Jerusalem.
 
The Event:
 
At this time the Assyrians were enemies of the Israelites and they eventually conquered the northern kingdom of the Israelites known at the time as Israel. They set their next conquest on the southern kingdom of the Israelites known at the time as Judah.
 
Judah paid tribute (money) to Assyria to keep them from invading Judah and their capital Jerusalem. Eventually that agreement ended and the Assyrians decided to invade Jerusalem. They surrounded the city and tried to force their surrender.
 
The King of Judah, Hezekiah dug a tunnel to get water from a spring outside of the fortified city walls (the tunnel is still there).
 
The bible says an angel killed the enemy of 185,000 Assyrian soldiers. The evidence uncovered by scholars is that the troops appear to have had problems with mice in their camp. The soldiers were probably in poor health and had poor nutrition and lacked clean water. The army probably suffered from a contagion of cholera or bubonic plague that made them weak and they retreated. Jerusalem was saved from the Assyrian assault because of the contagion.
 
Read 2 Kings 18:1-12; 19:20-36.
 
What does Jesus say about contagion?
 
Jesus told his followers (and therefore says to us) not to be deceived and that you will hear of wars, insurrections, powerful earthquakes, famines, plagues, awesome sights and mighty signs from the sky. But not a hair on your head will be destroyed. You will secure your lives through perseverance in belief of Jesus, for your redemption is at hand.
 
Read Luke 21:5-36

After three months, Bishop Walker Nickless has lifted the suspension on public Masses in the Diocese of Sioux City. Beginning with the weekend of June 27/28, parishes will open for Masses at the discretion of their pastors. Masses were originally suspended in an unprecedented move March 16 in response to the deadly and rapidly-spreading COVID-19 virus.
 
Since the suspension of the Masses in March, the Diocese of Sioux City COVID task force and Bishop Nickless have been monitoring data points locally, statewide, regionally and nationally, including new coronavirus cases, hospital bed usage, ICU usage, patient usage of ventilators, projections of the spread of the virus and other data.
 
As of the establishment of the task force, the benchmark the bishop and the group has used in order to make the decision to return to public liturgy and other public parish events has always been a 14-day consistently downward trajectory in the above categories.
 
Observations by the Sioux City Diocese COVID-19 task force and the four dioceses of Iowa COVID-19 working group suggest that the numbers are slowly falling in Iowa with the Sioux City diocese having the largest number of recent new cases of the four Catholic dioceses. The task force believes a plateau has been met, the downward trajectory has begun and that the area will reach the 14-day benchmark in the multiple categories between June 20-24.
 
COVID data and metrics will be constantly monitored until such a time a vaccine goes onto the market.  If it appears that new cases, hospitalizations and other metrics begin to increase substantially it is possible that diocesan churches and facilities will need to lock down once again. 
 
Once the suspension lifts and public Masses begin under the discretion of the individual pastors, priests of the diocese and the faithful will be following specific protocols outlined in May by the COVID task force for attending Mass. The protocols will include spacing pews, mandatory face masks, availability of hand sanitizer at the entrances of church, and the use of social distancing.
 
The obligation to attend Sunday Mass remains dispensed for Catholics in the Sioux City Diocese until the end of the calendar year. The elderly, more vulnerable and high-risk parishioners are reminded that although Mass is being offered it is recommended that they remain home at this time. However, Mass is open to all.
 
The June 27/28 suspension lifting by Bishop Nickless allows parishes, at the pastor’s discretion, to authorize weekend Masses, weddings, funerals and events at parish halls and facilities as long as practices such as social distancing, use of face masks and proper sanitization are followed with guidelines as determined by state public health officials.
 
As of July 6, Bishop Nickless will allow parishes, with the pastor’s discretion, to allow weekday public Masses two days per week. Also, churches may be open for two hours each day for five days per week, at the pastor’s discretion.
 
As of July 20, at the pastor’s discretion, parishes may return to their normal schedules.
 

6/9/2020
Our Bishop has decided to allow private prayer in our Churches for 2 hours a week.
These are the guidelines:

Keep your distance from each other at all times
Keep checking the web site or bulletin for times available as they may change weekly

Following the recommendations released by the Centers of Disease Control to “cancel large events or gatherings that could contribute to the spread of COVID-19,” Bishop Walker Nickless issued the mandate to suspend all Sunday and public Masses effective immediately. This suspension will extend for eight weeks, and then will be re-evaluated as the coronavirus situation develops.
The CDC recommends no gathering of groups of 50 or larger during this crisis, whereas the State of Iowa has mandated gatherings of groups no larger than 10. Parishes within the diocese will resume normal activities when it is safe to do so. “This has been the most difficult decision I have made during my time as bishop,” Bishop Nickless explained after making the decision to cancel all Masses, which will include Holy Week, the high point of the Catholic Church’s liturgical year. “The health and well-being of all people in the diocese, as well as all Catholics, is of the utmost importance at this time. I ask all the faithful for their understanding and to join me in prayer for the end to this public health crisis.” During this period, Catholics in the Diocese of Sioux City are dispensed from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass, according to the bishop’s mandate.

Liturgical and parish guidelines for this 8-week period will include:
• Celebration of public Masses - All public celebrations of the Mass will be suspended. Pastors are encouraged to broadcast private Masses via electronic means for their parishioners.
