Pontifical Academy for Life calls objections to abortion-tainted COVID vaccines ‘pure nonsense’

The PAV’s social media outburst is hardly the first the time that the academy, reconstituted by Pope Francis in 2016, has attacked Catholics with conscience objections to the COVID injections.

ROME (LifeSiteNews) – In a bizarre tweet Sunday, the Pontifical Academy for Life (PAV) claimed that abortion has “nothing to do” with the COVID vaccines tested on cells of aborted babies, while hailing the injections as “the only way to return to normal.” The academy, led by Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia, also lashed out at Catholic critics, suggesting that their concerns about the links between the jabs and fetal cell testing are “pure nonsense.”

“Some ‘Catholics’ only insult @PontAcadLife @PagliaAbp,” the tweet read. “But #COVID19 exists, and the only way to return to normal is to get #vaccinated.”

.....

In a second tweet Sunday with the same message, the PAV also tagged Joe Biden’s official presidential Twitter account, the U.S. Catholic bishops, and the FDA.

Even the Catholic, like most mainstream religions, disagree.
