    No vax? No church for you!

    CNN Religious commentator Father Edward Beck said he believed churches should require attendees to be vaccinated against COVID-19 — and that if the churches did not require it, unvaccinated people who truly wanted to follow the teachings of Jesus would show care and compassion for their neighbors by not showing up to services.Host Jim Sciutto asked Beck about upcoming services during a morning interview on Christmas Eve, noting that as the highly contagious omicron variant continued to spread it might be harder to convince people to attend the normally-packed holiday services at all.“Father Beck, one struggle I imagine is that fewer people are going to church, to Temple, to worship these days. Like with many institutions, right? Folks are retreating over time,” Sciutto began. “And I wonder how you, as people of faith, break through that to get the message through as people come less often to hear that message.”“You know, Jim, there’s no supply-chain shortage of love and compassion,” Beck replied. “I think that what we’re trying to say to people is that you have a social responsibility, if you do gather — you know, Christian churches, many are gathering this evening, and some are still not requiring vaccination, which I disagree with.”“I think that part of caring for one another, you know, the dictum of Jesus, who we celebrate His birth, is ‘love one another, show compassion, show mercy to each other,'” Beck continued. “So I think the message is that if we want to act like Jesus in these kind of times, we take care of each other. And if we’re going to gather in celebration, we have to do so safely, comfortably, and we have to give to one another that gift of peace and part of that is health and feeling like we’re gathering in a healthy environment.”“And so I really hope as people gather in celebration, to celebrate the birth of Christ — who was about mercy and compassion and love of one another — that we keep that in mind,” Beck concluded. “It’s not about us. You know, I don’t think there’s any reason to say, ‘I’m not going to get vaccinated today’ — you know, maybe a health reason, but then you can’t come to church, be at services with other people right now. We have a responsibility to one another.”Beck doubled down on his position in a tweet, saying, “Yep. I said it. I don’t think unvaccinated people should be gathering in churches for Christmas Eve / Day Masses. ‘Love thy neighbor,’ says the Savior.”Yep. I said it.

None of us are vaccinated, and we will not wear masks. Thankfully, we have Priests here that have a spine. You are exactly why the Church is dying.”Washington, D.C.-based radio host Larry O’Connor had just one question: “Why are so many priests in this country trying to convince me to become Baptist?”


    I think this belongs here more than the Covid section.

    Is Father Beck right? Has CNN influenced him a bit too much?

    Is there a duty of an un-vaxxed person to not go to church?

      Like the Apostle Paul, have faith in God to protect you and shake off Covid into the proverbial fire.

        Soooo, this jerk*** speaks for the whole world, who cares, he obviously is not God Almighty. The " CNN " reference speaks for itself.

          my default answer; God doesn't force you to accept Jesus, He gives you the free will to decide that. so what makes this judas think God will force you to take the vax?

            His religion is leftism. He masks it by being a cleric. Much like "journalists" are leftists posing as journalists.

                  He's a Catholic, i.e. a non-Christian, i.e. a representative of Satan. He does not and cannot speak for Christ.

                          I have met a LOT of Catholic for real christians, mostly Charismatic Catholics. I also have met the rubber stamp catholics, as well the same from other organizations. Mark ch 16 vs 16-18 fits whosoever will to the Lord may come, etc.

                              Such policy inevitably is revisited once they see that the collection basket comes up shorter than normal..
