“Denial of religious accommodations, or punitive or adverse personnel actions taken against those who raise earnest, conscience-based objections, would be contrary to federal law and morally reprehensible,” says Military Services Archbishop Timothy P. Broglio

Catholic U.S. troops should be able to refuse the COVID-19 injection on religious grounds, regardless of whether abortion-related tissue is involved in vaccine testing, the archbishop for the military declared in a statement.
Archbishop for the Military Services Timothy P. Broglio, who previously supported Joe Biden’s vaccine mandates, reversed course in a statement Tuesday declaring the vaccine mandate “does not” outweigh the conscience of unvaccinated service members.
[…] “This circumstance raises the question of whether the vaccine’s moral permissibility precludes an individual from forming a sincerely held religious belief that receiving the vaccine would violate his conscience. It does not.”
“The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith examined these moral concerns and judged that receiving these vaccines ‘does not constitute formal cooperation with the abortion,’ and is therefore not sinful,” Broglio’s letter continues.
