Father A. Schrenk (Diocese of Pittsburgh) discovered that closing schools and churches and suspending masses happened during the 1918 influenza pandemic. From his Twitter feed:
The closure of churches and suspension of public Mass continues to be difficult to accept, but as I do further personal research into the 1918 flu pandemic, I find more and more that these actions are by no means novel, nor symptomatic of an age that has lost faith. pic.twitter.com/boWxGeL9Lk— Fʀ.
