St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome Turns Away Pilgrims for Wearing the Wrong Type of Mask

On Monday morning, pilgrims seeking to attend a Mass scheduled for their private group were turned away because the face masks they wore were not the specific FFP2 masks (similar to N95 masks) stipulated by the Italian government.

VATICAN CITY (LifeSiteNews) — St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome is refusing to let pilgrims enter to attend Mass because they’re wearing the wrong type of face mask.

On Monday morning, pilgrims seeking to attend a Mass scheduled for their private group were turned away because the face masks they wore were not the specific FFP2 masks (similar to N95 masks) stipulated by the Italian government. The new enforcement comes as the Vatican City, which is its own independent country, follows a tightening of COVID rules by the Italian government, requiring FFP2 masks in all indoor and outdoor public spaces in Italy.

Vatican City, though not subject to Italian law, has decided to enforce the same regulations in this case.

The Code of Canon Law, the Church’s internal body of legislation, strictly forbids the refusal of admittance to the sacraments if the faithful are properly disposed. The Code states (can. 843), “Sacred ministers cannot deny the sacraments to those who seek them at the proper times, are properly disposed, and are not prohibited by law from receiving them.”

In particular, such faithful have a right derived from baptism to admittance to the sacrament of the Eucharist that cannot be set aside for trivial reasons that are not related to the sacrament.

According to can. 912, “any baptized person not prohibited by law can and must be admitted to holy communion,” and can. 214 confirms that “the Christian faithful have the right to worship God according to the prescripts of their own rite approved by the legitimate pastors of the Church.”

When Fauci misinforms the public that cloth masks work, he risks the health of anyone who believes a cloth mask will protect them when caring for a spouse or relative with COVID!

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has made a habit of amending its COVID-19 guidelines, most recently cutting the length of its recommended quarantine time for infected patients from 10 days to five. Those who are infected are now instructed to isolate for just five days, followed by five days of wearing a mask around other people.

Quick! Buy some more masks from India and stay 10’ apart!

Masks being made in India’s filth:!

Meanwhile, from Upstate NY...

How long does a KN95 mask work?

According to top medical experts in the country, the best mask to protect against COVID-19 is a KN95 mask...

But the author doesn't name one. Because KN95s aren't the same as N95s, are they...

Guess which ones NYS is handing out?

Though neither will keep out CoupFlu.
