Cardinal Raymond Burke, one of the Catholic Church’s most outspoken critics of Pope Francis and a vaccine skeptic, said he has COVID-19 and his staff said he is breathing through a ventilator.

San Diego Bishop Robert McElroy has sent a letter saying there is no basis in Catholic teaching to offer a religious exemption for COVID-19 vaccinations.

The Supreme Court announced Aug. 12 that it will not hear an appeal from a group of students at Indiana University who are opposed to the university’s Covid-19 vaccine mandate.

Mary Haddad, R.S.M., the C.E.O. and president of the Catholic Health Association, agrees that more must be done now to halt the advance of the Delta variant.

A statement from Colorado’s bishops will likely contribute to vaccine misinformation among Catholics, Sam Sawyer, S.J., writes. And its individualistic and libertarian notion of conscience ignores our obligations to the most vulnerable.

It is no sin to get any of the current Covid vaccines, and a “misinformed conscience” is not a legitimate reason to seek exemptions from a vaccine mandate.
