anuary 9, 2021 (LifeSiteNews) – In an interview scheduled to air Sunday night with the Italian television station Canale 5, Pope Francis has opined that “everyone” must take the COVID-19 vaccine.
“I believe that, ethically, everyone should take the vaccine,” he said, according to a transcript released in advance of the airing of the interview.
The Pope added that he would be taking the vaccine himself and that the Vatican will start administering it to its citizens “next week,” remarking that “it must be done.”
According to the transcript as quoted in The New York Times, Pope Francis suggests that, “it’s an ethical choice, because you are playing with health, life, but you are also playing with the lives of others.”
“I don’t understand why some say, ‘No. Vaccines are dangerous,’” the Pope is quoted as saying. “If it is presented by doctors as a thing that can go well, that has no special dangers, why not take it? There is a suicidal denial that I wouldn’t know how to explain.”
The Pope’s statement leads to many questions. Does he think people who had the virus should still get the vaccine? Should pregnant mothers take it even the UK government has told them not to do so? How about people with allergies that conflict with vaccines whom the FDA and other agencies have said should not take the vaccine? This a rushed vaccine with way too little testing, by all accounts, and yet we are to believe implicitly in its safety and efficacy?
But there is also a moral side to the pope’s reported statements. In a paper released on December 12, 2020, Bishop Athanasius Schneider, along with co-signers Cardinal Janis Pujats, Bishop Joseph Strickland, and Archbishops Tomash Peta and Jan Pawel Lenga, expressed their strong conviction that any use of a vaccine tainted with the “unspeakable crime” of abortion, under any circumstances, “cannot be acceptable for Catholics.”
These prelates cite the teaching of St. John Paul II, affirming the duty of every Catholic and person of goodwill to defend “the most basic and fundamental right” to life “with maximum determination.” To make use of vaccines that are “made from the cells of murdered unborn children contradicts [this] ‘maximum determination’ to defend unborn life,” their statement read.
“The crime of abortion is so monstrous that any kind of concatenation with this crime, even a very remote one, is immoral and cannot be accepted under any circumstances by a Catholic once he has become fully aware of it,” they also wrote. “One who uses these vaccines must realize that his body is benefitting from the ‘fruits’ ... of one of mankind’s greatest crimes.”
A week after the statement by Cardinal Pujats and the other bishops, the Vatican department on doctrine put out a statement claiming that Catholics could licitly take even an abortion-tainted COVID vaccine if there were no ethical alternatives available.

Did God make human nucleic acid chain?
Who made the NOVEL viral nucleic acid chain?
Why did they give it ‘gain’ [more kill-ability]?
Who put HIV on it? Why?
Why did the SAME organization that made it,
own the patent, and get royalties from every test,
from every vaccine, and from every source as
it WITHHELD the virus from other labs (to this day)?
Why would anyone sentient demand anyone ELSE take
an untested antifertility, mutating, alive, oncogenic,
living nucleic acid which has ALSO
already shown facial paralysis, hyperimmune reactions,
flipping of blood and HIV tests (or worse),
and death?
I think ol’ Frankie is not the Antichrist, but rather his right-hand man the False Prophet, who will oversee the religious arm of the AC’s One World Empire, performing all sorts of false miracles and even calling down fire from heaven in order to convince the world that the AC is God.
Even asbestos underwear won’t help him where he’s going.
I remember reading some prophecy many years ago dealing with the “black pope/last pope”
I think we found him.
Saw a church freind this morning, he got his 1st of the 2 injections last thursday....he is now exhibiting signs of Bells Palsy. 1 side of face is drooping, eyes not blinking at the same time.
I think I’ll pass forcthectime being.
I try to be nice, but
Pope, you satanic tool
Fk off
How low can he go?
Only God knows.
I've been reading about him on FR for what?... three, four, five years ?
It’s almost as if George Soros owns him.
FU, Frankie!
I was taught at an early age the Pope is infallible.
With this guy, I gotta believe even God does a facepalm whenever Francis opens his mouth.
You probably haven’t read all the stupid stuff he said.
Is the bear Catholic? Does the Pope...
Could be warming up to be the Tribulation false prophet.
Pope should try performing an anatomically impossible act upon himself.
My daughter’s MIL got her first shot right before Christmas. She then hosted the family celebration on Christmas Eve and not only got the virus from her niece, but half a dozen other family members are now sick. One even had to be hospitalized, the super liberal who’s paranoid about getting Covid but still went to the party, lol. And don’t worry, she’s gonna be fine.
The anti-Christ wants me to get a vaccine? I don’t think so! Any slim chance I would have taken it was just eliminated.
Hell to the No.
Can I say FU to the Pope?
No. It doesn’t you heretic.
Sorry Mario, I had a mother and father. I don’t need a replacement.
