The Catholic Church's First Reaction to the Flourish

The Catholic Church's first reaction to the outbreak of plague in Europe authorized by the Pope was to hold mass Processions through the great cities of Europe now again. They couldn't have known this was a bad idea But this was a terrible terrible call And it came out of a long-standing tradition called Rogation Days which were enormous multi-day processions held by the church to quote Saint God's desire for penitence Boy, yeah, so like God's pissed and you got a march through God's always angry at you and you got to like calm down.
