Pontifical institute punishes noted scholar for conscientious objection
ROME (ChurchMilitant.com) - The Pontifical Oriental Institute (POI) in Rome has banished the dean of the faculty of Oriental Ecclesiastical Sciences to Brazil for his conscientious objection to the abortion-tainted COVID-19 vaccine.
Father Massimo Pampaloni, S.J., a world-renowned authority on Syriac Christology and a consultor to the Vatican's Congregation for the Oriental Churches, was punished for refusing to take the jab, Church Militant has learned.
Pampaloni single-handedly stood against the draconian jab mandates despite pressure from confreres, superiors and the State, while almost every other Jesuit in Rome capitulated to the vaccine narrative, a Rome-based oriental studies scholar told Church Militant.
"For a dean and leading scholar at the world's most prestigious oriental studies pontifical school to be stripped of his position and shunted to another continent by his own Jesuit community despite the Vatican stating that vaccination is voluntary is unprecedented," the scholar observed.
School Might Cave?
Fr. David Nazar, S.J., rector of the POI, refused to release any information about the Jesuit community's punitive measures against Fr. Pampaloni or whether the priest would be reinstated as dean after Italy withdraws its vaccine mandates on March 31.
"For reasons of privacy protection, we do not give any information about it," the rector's office told Church Militant Monday. Nazar, a Canadian of Ukrainian origin, was formerly superior of the Jesuits in Ukraine and provincial of the English Canada province.
Pampaloni is currently assigned the position of visiting professor at the Jesuit School of Philosophy and Theology, Belo Horizonte, Brazil.

Jesuits are fawned over for their refusal to go along with the Church and destroying the faith.
Ooooops, unless the Jesuit is against the jab... THEN we need to retaliate!
It is great to see a Jesuit who is still a committed, practicing Catholic. God bless Fr. Pampaloni !
Fr. David Nazar, S.J is serving the world and rejecting his vows, his religion and his Divine Superior. Pitiful dude.
