<p><strong>                 The Virgin of Loreto, the Patron Saint of the Italian Air Force. Photos: La Sicilia [1]</strong></p><p>In view of the Coronavirus Pandemic a person or a people can't afford to not get it right. Lives are on the line worldwide. Is there any truth to this piece?  If so, is it practical, effective or biblical? <strong>How should one pray:  directly to God, in the name of Jesus or via a statue of the Virgin Mary </strong>(either on land or in the air)? Are statues safe or idols?  Is this the solution to the Coronavirus Pandemic? <strong>CM</strong></p>]]>
