Francis removed the irreprochable Arecibo Bishop Daniel Fernández Torres, 57, Puerto Rico, on March 9.
In an August 17 statement, Fernández had defended the human right to object to unsafe Covid injections. Days later, he refused to sign a statement of the other six Puerto Rican Covid bishops who claimed that to be injected is "a duty."
After complaints from the Covid bishops, the Nuncio requested Fernández to resign as if the bishop were only administrators and not fathers of their diocese. Fernández refused on grounds of conscience. So, he was called to the Vatican, but - irony of fate - didn't want to travel during the Covid-19 panic.
Aciprensa.com also reports that Fernández refused to transfer his seminarians to the [Modernist] Interdiocesan Puerto Rico Seminary, approved by the Vatican in March 2020.
Fernández is the second bishop in this pontificate to be removed without first offering his resignation. The first was Rogelio Livieres (+2015), Paraguay.
Ping
Ping.
Sounds like rigidity.
Sounds more like demonic influences have permeated the Vatican.
If he were not bent on destroying the the church, what would Bergoglio (heretic and minion of Satan) be doing differently?
Catholic Bishop in Puerto Rico Says His Removal by Pope Francis is ‘Totally Unjust’
