The YouTube prayer channel started during Covid that’s causing a stir with many religious leaders calling on fellow believers to pray for COVID-19
A Catholic priest has joined YouTube as a commentator on an “unwanted prayer channel” because religious leaders are calling on believers to stop praying for the coronavirus pandemic.
The priest said he was moved to join the channel after watching a video by Bishop David Zubik, director of the Diocese of Erie and Canada, who encouraged viewers to pray on a daily basis to God for the country’s response to the coronavirus.
The Catholic priest, in a video on the Bishop’s YouTube channel, said he admired the bishop and prayed with him on a daily basis last week.
He also spoke with the bishop and other Catholic leaders.
‘I said you have nothing to fear if I pray for you,’ he said they responded ‘good things can happen,’ and thanked him.
