Pope Francis Calls COVID-19 Vaccination Moral Obligation
Voice Of America ^ | 1/10/2022 | AP, AFP, Reuters

Pope Francis said getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is a "moral obligation" as part of caring for the health of oneself and others and urged on international efforts to vaccinate the world's population.

In a speech to diplomats assigned to the Vatican, the pope said the COVID-19 pandemic continues to cause social isolation and to take lives but noted effective vaccinations have effectively lowered the risks from the disease.

LOL

At least the bears mind their own business usually.

This Pope seems to be the Catholic Church equivalent of Mitt Romney. Every utterance or decision seems to help the other side. Just like Mitt.

“Further, despite the scripture in which Jesus states that ‘you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church’, clearly the lineage of Popes since Peter has included some less than stellar people.”

Proper interpretation proves this is not referring to Catholic popes or Catholcism. The rock is Christ. Peter Petra is a stone in the church which is built upon christ, the foundation.

“Notice Bergoglio doesn’t even mention the moral obligation of the medical establishment to practice early treatment and prophylactics to prevent deaths and hospitalizations, only the gene serums pushed. Demonic.”

Excellent point! What about the deaths from the vaccine? What about natural immunity. Why are they trying to vaccinate the kids? and those that know they will have allergic reactions.

Let’s Go Francis

I am a practicing Catholic, believe everything Holy Mother Church believes and teaches, and am a staunch defender of the Papacy (although we need a new pope now).

Your comment made me chuckle heartily.

Obviously, this has been interpreted multiple ways - like lots of scripture. Dogma is the enemy of truth.

You are wrong and this discussion doesn’t belong in this thread.

This pope believes in the old adage “What Would Satan Do?”

I applaud the Catholic Church for their stance on abortion. None better!

BUT, how can Catholics put up with this DEMON as their leader?

How can you continue to practice a faith where the leader is apostate. If he EVER believed in the first place.

I, personally, couldn’t be part of a religion whose leader is Satan. That’s just me, I guess.

Pope Brandon is to religion what that Puerto Rican nitwit is to the U.S. Supreme Court.

I am starting to think that Pope Frank is actually an atheist just playing the role of a Catholic.

I’m a life long Catholic and at this point I think he’s hellbound. He’s Ted Kennedy He’s Mario Cuomo. He’s a good bit of Hillary Clinton.

“Pope Francis said getting vaccinated against COVID-19 is a “moral obligation” as part of caring for the health of oneself and others and urged on international efforts to vaccinate reduce the world’s population”

The CC is the very last group in the world that wants reduced population.

Have you not paid attention to what the CC has been preaching ..Hint More children, more children, more children and also pushing to bring immigrants to dying low birth rate Western countries to boost church numbers.
