Francis called it an “Act of Love” to get it. Our pastor is a blind follower and followed suit - asking people who wouldn’t wear masks or wear them properly to find another church. When called out he hid behind his vow of obedience. Obedient to the point of leading others to the slaughterhouse. Never an apology. These are the times that try our souls. I’m trying to forgive. Minimal success so far. But I know it’s not good for my soul to hold a grudge. Ugh.
Wow that is very difficult. Find another church…just awful. I join you in seeking to forgive and not be resentful. We are called to do it but it is not easy.
Exactly. I’m reminded of something someone told me many years ago - no one can make you sin. It might hurt to do what’s right sometimes but “I was just doing what I was told to” will not save you from the consequences.
I had many discussions with my priest about how bad the vaccine is and he didn’t agree with me. Recently he went to the funeral of a friend list unexpectedly. Yet he still does not see. Forgiveness does set us free that is for sure.
I thought Catholics were pretty much bound to the church of the parish they lived in--so could not legitimately 'find' another church ? (although my neighbors on moving here, to a different parish, were allowed to skirt that regulation)
He wasn’t the only one! Much to my horror Pope Francis highly promoted them and continues to this day! The jabs are pure evil!

How’d that crux of obedience work for the Germans in WWII aftermath?

Many believe the Pope is evil too.
Satan in papal robes!
Absolutely.
He’s certainly causing some confusion, and it certainly seems like he’s doing it on purpose. There have been corrupt popes before. So.
That usurper is pure evil
And the PCUSA Presbyterian denomination still to this day encourages getting the C-19 vax posted on their website.
"our theological obligations' or similar words. Nonsense. It has now been nine years since I ceased attending.
