Decree Excommunicating Those Who Promote Forced Vaccination for Covid-19

February 23, 2021

Decree Regarding Vaccination

The penalty of excommunication is imposed on any faithful who receives a vaccination for the "Covid-19" disease, unless the reception was against his will. Further, all rulers and authorities that seek to impose the vaccine by force, endorse legislation imposing it by force, or in any way attempt to implement this kind of tyranny against moral justice and the integrity of man in the rule of his own body, which is the temple of the Holy Spirit, are excommunicated. We are most concerned that this appears to presage that monstrosity referred to in the Apocalypse as the Mark of the Beast. All nations should be wary against promoting anything that appears to resemble this terrible blasphemy. - Apostolic See
