Here, the reader finds a series of catechism classes, or informal sermons, held by representatives of the Palmarian Church between March and December 2020. The first is dated March 11, around the same time the WHO declared the COVID-19 epidemic a pandemic. We all had to live with it in different ways, and apocalyptically centered groups, such as the Palmarian Church, interpreted the“Signs of the End Time.” The closely knit religious community at El Palmar were severely affected in January 2021, when the majority of the religious were infected and four members died.
These classes were held at the church’s center in El Palmar de Troya, but were distributed to members worldwide. They share a common structure. First, the Secretary of State, Fr. Abraham Mary, gives an introduction. Then another bishop continues the teaching. These talks were indeed given during the pandemic, but their content is not limited to the health catastrophe. They present a multifaceted picture of Palmarian teachings during part of the COVID era.
