'Accordingly, no one should be forced to receive a COVID-19 vaccine if it would violate the sanctity of his or her conscience,’ Archbishop Timothy Broglio said Tuesday.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews) –Archbishop of the U.S. military services Timothy Broglio has issued a statement against forcing American service members to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, saying that “no one should be forced to receive a COVID-19 vaccine if it would violate the sanctity of his or her conscience.”
In August Catholic News Agency reported that the move to mandate the COVID jabs was supported Broglio, saying that that the military had stressed that the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, along with Pope Francis, “had recognized the morality of the vaccine.” In March Broglio released a statement in which he described being vaccinated as “an act of charity to our sisters and brothers.”
But in a statement issued Tuesday, October 12, Broglio said that individuals have a right to refuse vaccination based on religious grounds.
“This circumstance raises the question of whether the vaccine’s moral permissibility precludes an individual from forming a sincerely held religious belief that receiving the vaccine would violate his conscience,” he said, before concluding that “It does not.”
“Accordingly, no one should be forced to receive a COVID-19 vaccine if it would violate the sanctity of his or her conscience,” he said.

Ping.
So does this mean the DOD has to honor personnel who object to the rat-poison “vaxx” for religious objections?
Some good news ping.
This is going to be a big test for so-called “Pope” Francis.... will he do the bidding of the New World Order and remove this meddlesome archbishop of his duties???
Too little, too late. The leadership of the Catholic church are weak and spineless.
How in the conscious world can any pope, or a truly religious organization, 'recognize the morality of the vaccine'
when it is derived from aborted(murdered) baby parts or stem cells ?
The Pope has confirmed that he is not Christian, but rather a Socialist pagan !
Mandated ? Any government mandate takes away "Free Agency" and ignores the freedom of choice, as also does this alleged Pope.
"Free Agency", and freedom of choice is a core supporting pillar of Christianity.
The pope has chosen to follow the way of the world, and is "worldly"; he is NOT my pope, since he has usurped the "Chair of St. Peter".
Thanks for the ping, need some good news.
Hell be fired.
Heard yesterday that the military is looking at losing 100,000 men and women from it’s ranks over this jab.
Will be devastating for the military.
Methinks the generals asked the Archbishop for cover for this so that they don’t lose operations.
