UK Catholic bishops mute on Boris Johnson's tyrannical threats
LONDON, England (ChurchMilitant.com) - Hundreds of Christian leaders in Britain have signed an open letter to Prime Minister Boris Johnson categorically stating they are "wholly opposed" to vaccine passports as a precondition of admitting worshippers to churches.
"As Christian leaders we wish to state that we envisage no circumstances in which we could close our doors to those who do not have a vaccine passport, negative test certificate or any other 'proof of health,'" pastors and lay leaders unequivocally declared.
"For the Church of Jesus Christ to shut out those deemed by the State to be social undesirables would be anathema to us and a denial of the truth of the gospel," over 700 Christian leaders wrote Thursday.
Pastors "would be compelled to resist any such Act of Parliament vigorously" since "the message we preach is given by God for all people and consists in nothing other than the free gift of grace offered in Christ Jesus, with the universal call to repentance and faith in Him."
"To deny people entry to hear this life-giving message and to receive this life-giving ministry would be a fundamental betrayal of Christ and the gospel. Sincere Christian churches and organizations could not do this," leaders across a range of denominations maintained.
Hierarchy: Silent Acquiescence
While some Catholic clerics, including Anglican convert Fr. Benedict Kiely — now a Catholic priest in the Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham — have signed the letter, Catholic bishops across Britain have remained silent on Johnson's threats to issue vaccine passports.
"I think the letter is very calm and clear. I particularly was moved to sign it because of the pledge to never deny entry to our churches," Fr. Kiely told Church Militant.
