SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- The news that Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone is unvaccinated just cost him a visit to a church in San Francisco.
"Because Cordileone is not vaccinated and we've had breakthrough vaccinations in the church, I'm not comfortable. I'm not comfortable with him coming unvaccinated," said Rita Clunies-Ross, St. Agnes Catholic Church parishioner.
December 19 was the day Archbishop Cordileone was scheduled to visit Saint Agnes Church. Several weeks before his visit, churchgoers like Rita Clunies-Ross voiced concerns. Now this church is taking a stance.
"I called him and spoke with him and asked him to re-schedule his visit for a later time because many people in the parish had expressed concern about this. I feel it is important that everyone feel safe, and we all do our part to prevent the spread of COVID-19, especially now with the new Omicron Variant. These are stressful times enough and I felt his pastoral visit to us would be overshadowed by concerns about the pandemic," said a bulletin Pastor George Williams posted on the church's website, letting the parishioners know Archbishop Cordileone won't be visiting them for now.

Oh, shucks!
Weak. Weak. Weak.
He could always close the church, or turn it over to the Fraternity of St. Peter. That way, they're safe from seeing their bishop. Because they won't be there.
I feel an eye-roll approaching.
And what is a “breakthrough vaccination”?!?? (Parishioner confuzzled?)
They let people shit and piss in public places, let them leave dirty needles all over the place, allow homeless people to live wherever they want, and they’re worried about an unvaccinated Archbishop??
Are Jesuits still Catholic?
(How could the pastor of a parish tell his boss that he's not welcome in one of his churches?)
I guess,then, that Rita Clunies-Ross would not go out to greet the Bridegroom if Our Lord returned. Not vaccinated, you see.
Generally, no. St. Agnes is the “hippie” parish in the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood. The archdiocese handed over the keys to the Jesuits because it was a dying parish that long ago had to shut down its parochial school. After the Jebbies took over, the parish has attracted a sort of elderly liberal Catholic who still practices the faith but whose kids don’t. Jerry Brown got married there, IIRC.
“ Are Jesuits still Catholic?”

Seems like a valid question.
She's a loud-mouthed hypocrite who just wants attention.
