<p class="has-drop-cap">Pope Francis will break with centuries of tradition and Livestream Easter Sunday mass to allow the world’s 1.3 billion Catholics to celebrate their holiest holiday under a <a href="https://occupygh.com/category/coronavirus">coronavirus</a> lockdown.</p>



<p>Fear and confusion in the face of a disease whose official death toll has soared past 100,000 — but whose real one is feared to be higher still — are reshaping society and transforming the way religion is observed.</p>



<p>Even such hallowed traditions as the pope’s messages to the faithful on Saint Peter’s Square have been replaced by prayers that Francis reads into a camera from the seclusion of his private library.</p>

<p>His only audience is the camera and the 83-year-old Argentine has admitted that the entire experience makes him feel “caged”</p>



<p class="has-text-color has-very-dark-gray-color">The Pope’s Easter Sunday Mass and “Urbi et Orbi” blessing drew 70,000 to Saint Peter’s Square last year<a href="https://occupygh.com/free-internet-calls-for-ghanaians-amidst-coronavirus-lockdown">.</a> The Vatican’s entrance is now sealed off by armed police wearing facemasks and rubber gloves.</p>



<p>The pope has openly admitted that he was struggling along with everyone else to make sense of these extraordinary times.</p>



<p>“We have to respond to our confinement with all our creativity,” Francis said in an interview published by several Catholic newspapers this week</p>



<p>Francis himself has reportedly been tested twice for COVID-19 since coming down with a cold at the end of February and tested negative</p>



<p>He told the Catholic newspapers that people across the world could try to spiritually escape their confinement through introspection.</p>



<p>“So: to be in lockdown, but yearning, with that memory that yearns and begets hope,” the pope said.</p>



<p>“This is what will help us escape our confinement.”</p>
