Cardinal Parolin who was contacted by phone, personally stopped Cardinal Burke from entering the Congregation for the Causes of the Saints, just outside St Peter’s square, ChurchMilitant.com (April 18) writes.
Burke's fault: He is injection-free. The cardinal survived a severe September 2021 Covid-19 infection but his Covid certificate expired a couple of weeks ago.
The Vatican's requirements are even more fanatical than the Italian ones. Burke had first to wait at the door while security contacted Cardinal Semerano who runs the Congregation. Unable to make a decision, Semerano called Parolin who told him to stop Burke.
For Russia's March 25 Consecration, 3,000 faithful were allowed into St Peter’s without Covid certificates or sanitary distancing. On Easter Monday, an unmasked multitude participated at a concert in St Peter's Square.

Ping
The Poope is a jerk.
Our Lord Himself would be turned away at the gates by this crew.
Pietro Parolin = Petrus Romanus ?
Couldn’t be. Petrus Romanus is undoubtedly the encroaher/ imposter Francis.
Maybe their issue is they should be fearing God more and COVID less.
Parolin is a poor ambassador for heaven.
But that's not really the issue. This is simply an excuse to stick a thumb in Burke's eye since Bergoglio detests the dubia author who is a constant thorn in his side.
