Italy's largest seminary has become the first educational institution in the country to force mandatory vaccination and is threatening to expel seminarians if they are not vaccinated by September 12.
In a letter, rector of Milan's Venegono Archiepiscopal Seminary Fr. Enrico Castagna ordered all seminarians: "You must all be vaccinated before returning from holiday."
The COVID-19 vaccine is a conditio sine qua non ("condition without which not") for the 120 seminarians who are training for the priesthood in Italy's largest archdiocese.
Vice rector Fr. Michele Galli justified the directive to The Daily Compass, noting the goal was "to return to a more serene life," and seminary authorities would consider only medical and not moral exemptions.
"If the reasons are more of an ideological nature, well, I don't know, we haven't discussed the issue yet, but I don't think they will cause any problems," Galli remarked, claiming no one had so far raised any objections to the draconian mandate.
Galli said compulsory jabs would enable the seminarians to "use the classrooms and common areas without wearing masks, since the school decree allows classes that have completed the vaccination cycle to be exempt from wearing masks."

Lovely. Weren’t stem cells from abortions used in the vaccines?
What vaccine choice would Jesus make?
When such organizations are purged of the evil unvaxed and they are still getting sicker and sicker, what will they do then?
.
What faith in God they have! S/
I don’t know, but I think Jesus wouldn’t use ‘vaccines’ to solve this problem.
But then again, I’m pretty much a heathen, I begin to speak for Jesus.
But then again, I’m pretty much a heathen, I DON’T begin to speak for Jesus.
(somehow missed the ‘don’t’)
He's laugh at dudes that live in a SEMINARY.
No chicks, lots of wanking. Pretty funny.
It's not too late FRiend. He died so that you can have something better than what we have in this world. Please give it some thought.
This looks to be a subversive Jabs for Jesus cult.
maybe I just don’t wear it on my sleeve...
SMH
Someone ask the harpies at Church Militant where they were when the SSPX was fighting stuff like this.
Oh wait, they were busy dragging THOSE priests around in the dirt, they were better than them... or something.
Nothing worse than hypocrites. I got to know these people and cannot stand or trust them.
If they’re asked to leave do they keep their altar boys?
When His band of rabble rousers couldn’t pay their taxes, He instructed one of them to pull a fish out of the water, take the coin out of its mouth, and pay taxes that way. He later said “Pay unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s, pay unto God that which is God’s.”
I think He woulda found a fish-coin middle ground that most of us can’t even think of right now.
Actually I think they were asking if Jesus paid His taxes. As a priest, He was legally exempt and wasn’t required. But it was a teaching lesson for all involved.
The only one who thinks your funny is you
Is anyone else noticing that the people making the decisions are completely blind to the irony of their hypocrisy?
Trust in Him!!
