My priest didn't get vaxxed, would not push it at all on the parishioners, refused to mandate it on the staff and went to genuinely amazingly lengths to work around restrictions on our parish imposed from above. All priests and all pastors are not the same.
You're lucky. Some in our diocese said it was a moral imperative and further would not assist parishioners in obtaining religious exemptions. Covid is not the only area of compromise. How many homilies do you hear on immigration and "welcoming the stranger" yet none on protecting the unborn? How many times have you heard about "accompanying the LGBTQ community" after shaming you to "remove the plank from your own eye before removing the speck from your neighbor's eye?" Social justice, or "woke" ideology is infiltrating Christian churches on every level and in the Catholic church it is particularly evident in the views of "lay pastoral associates" who lead discussion groups and organize education and outreach sessions. And, yes, as Maxstirner says, the "popeness" did support COVID shots saying to receive one was an "act of love" while the papal COVID advisory board went further and said it was a "moral obligation" to get vaccinated.
Seconded. Excellent book (and applies to Catholics too).
In what way? My Priests didn’t push the jab at all.
