Do your best. Speak the truth.
Pontificating leftists and academics, without a bit of sense for what actually happens in the Main Street economy, have no concept of what it looks like if ten million people quit or are fired from working next month…. let alone five times that many. Bottom line: THIS IS A NON-ENFORCEABLE MANDATE, even if they wanted to do it.

Then, last March, remarkable news. The Lancaster County Amish were reported to be the first community to achieve “herd immunity,” meaning a large part of a population had been infected with Covid-19 and became immune.

Catholic U.S. troops should be allowed to refuse the COVID-19 vaccine based solely on conscientious objection and regardless of whether abortion-related tissue was used in its creation or testing, the archbishop for the military declared in a new statement supporting service members who are seeking religious exemptions.
“No one should be forced to receive a COVID-19 vaccine if it would violate the sanctity of his or her conscience,” said Archbishop for the Military Services Timothy P. Broglio, in a statement released Tuesday.

Excellent news. Of course, the same is true for all Buddhists and, indeed, all human beings with an active conscience. ABN
Governor Greg Abbott today issued an executive order stating that no entity in Texas can compel receipt of a COVID-19 vaccination by any individual, including an employee or consumer, who objects to such vaccination for any reason of personal conscience, based on a religious belief, or for medical reasons, including prior recovery from COVID-19.

Good way to put it. First Amendment religious freedoms should include “personal conscience” since there is no clear line between this and religion. Buddhism is very much a philosophy and a religion, no clear line. Also, Kristi Noem get your ass in gear and do this for SD. Ignore the money or give it back and prove you have a “personal conscience.” ABN
“As a Catholic who follows the Magisterium, I have a duty to fight the Vatican City’s vaccine mandates,” Pierre-André Udressy wrote in an open letter published Friday night.
“How many of my dear colleagues have unfortunately succumbed to a medical treatment to which they did not give full consent, forced by force, in order to regain their freedoms?” Udressy asked. “For me, it is fundamental to defend freedom with conviction.”

This information on fetal cells is all you need to obtain a religious exemption to the Pfizer vax, and probably the others. You do not need permission from clergy, you do not need scriptural texts, you do not need to defend your beliefs in front of anyone. All you need to do is state that the vax violates your religious beliefs. In fact, you do not even need have this fetal cell information. Religious belief is a fundamental human right that the American government cannot take away from you. Period. ABN
Dr. Francis Collins is reportedly stepping down from his role as Director at the National Institutes of Health. The news was broken by Politico late Monday night:

Would be a great moral act and help the entire world if Collins were to come clean on all the covid bs right now. He has the Noble Lie excuse. Or the Noble Lie that went off the rails excuse. However he puts it, if he just tells the truth and addresses covid mistakes (including vax mortality, harms, and failures) honestly, the world will come out ahead of where he and Fauci have led us. I do not see any way that Collins does not know he is guilty of destroying millions of lives. From a Buddhist point of view, a full confession from him if done well will clear all his horrible karma and improve the lives of everyone in the world. In Buddhism, the way for him to proceed is: 1) admit his fault completely; 2) explain how it happened but do not excuse yourself from your role in any of it; 3) vow never to do anything like it again; 4) make amends wherever possible to the people you have harmed. Not an easy thing to do, but great expiations require great acts. I honestly wish him the best. He can set an example for all the scientists, doctors, medical professionals, administrators, and pharmacists who have actively and passively contributed to the covid mass murders. ABN
You can see this in many ways. Instinct, intention, karma, where you are, what is happening, what is prompting your mind, what you remember, care about, are mindful of… ABN
Continue reading “More than 500 Orthodox churches to be built in Moscow”Moscow, August 30, Interfax – State Duma deputy Vladimir Resin who oversees the program for the construction of Orthodox churches in Moscow, known as the “program-200”, reported a significant increase in its scale.
“More than a dozen years will pass, and churches will be built. Moscow is developing, Moscow is growing. And if you have churches within walking distance (one church for 20-30 thousand people), of course, then we should not be talking about 200 or 300 churches. And not even about 500 churches,” Resin said during a visiting meeting.
At the same time, he admitted that it has already been possible to achieve the number of churches necessary for local residents in some areas of Moscow.
The program for the construction of Orthodox churches was launched in 2010 on the initiative of Patriarch Kirill. At the time of its implementation, Moscow, according to the estimates of the Russian Orthodox Church, was experiencing a special shortage of churches compared to other regions of Russia.
CHICAGO (LifeSiteNews) — Chicago Cardinal Blase Cupich released a new archdiocesan policy, ordering “all employees and clergy” to receive the COVID-19 injections no more than “five weeks” after full approval of “at least one of the three vaccines,” threatening “disciplinary measures” if priests and employees do not comply.

I see only negative value in an unreasonable order like this. People in authority should trust the people whose lives they influence, not command them to obey or else. This is especially true in this case as Cupich is simply wrong. ABN
