**According to Catholic Teaching: Why is God allowing COVID-19, knowing that many deaths are involved and many, many more are constantly getting sick.** No moral or physical good seems to be resulting from the Coronavirus? Even vaccines are probably being produced from aborted fetuses. If we could talk directly to God, would He tell us that He created the natural order of things, and that COVID-19 emerged from the natural order of things? Or would He say that humans have invaded animals' natural habitat and COVID-19 was a natural consequence of that? My stumbling block with all of this is the **death and illness** of so many innocent people. Certainly, a benevolent God couldn't have *sanctioned* COVID-19. So if not, then what?
