Ro­man Catholic Arch­bish­op Fa­ther Ja­son Gor­don is in iso­la­tion af­ter com­ing in­to con­tact with a COVID-pos­i­tive in­di­vid­ual.

The Arch­dio­cese of Port-of-Spain took to its Twit­ter page yes­ter­day to make the an­nounce­ment.

The tweet read, “Arch­bish­op Gor­don was at an event last week­end, where he was in con­tact with some­one who test­ed pos­i­tive for COVID-19 on De­cem­ber 7. Out of an abun­dance of cau­tion and in keep­ing with health pro­to­cols, he will be in iso­la­tion un­til the in­cu­ba­tion pe­ri­od is over and can be test­ed.”

There are no de­tails as to the event Gor­don at­tend­ed and based on the in­for­ma­tion re­leased, he does not ap­pear to be in ill-health.

On­ly on Tues­day, an ar­ti­cle in Catholic News had the Arch­bish­op say­ing T&T needs ‘in­ner cleans­ing’ to over­come COVID-19.

In the ar­ti­cle, Gor­don said peo­ple must re­turn to de­vo­tion to God and stop their in­dis­ci­pline and self­ish­ness to re­store Trinidad and To­ba­go be­cause ir­re­spon­si­bil­i­ty is caus­ing de­struc­tion.

“Chil­dren that have been well-dis­ci­plined by their par­ents un­der­stand if you do what is wrong, there are con­se­quences for your ac­tions. We are like a na­tion of spoilt chil­dren…,” he is quot­ed as say­ing last Sun­day, De­cem­ber 5 dur­ing Mass at Liv­ing Wa­ter Com­mu­ni­ty Chapel, Port-of-Spain.

Gor­don said peo­ple have grown ac­cus­tomed to in­dis­ci­pline over the past 50 years, but the coun­try could not con­tin­ue in this way for the next 50.

“We re­al­ly be­lieve we can do what we want and there are no con­se­quences com­ing our way,” he com­ment­ed.

The ar­ti­cle al­so said Gor­don has not man­dat­ed be­ing vac­ci­nat­ed as a re­quire­ment to at­tend Holy Mass and called on Tri­nis to not “do what they want” but in­stead, take re­spon­si­bil­i­ty.
