Pope Francis suggested Monday that getting vaccinated against the coronavirus was a 'moral obligation.'
Pope Francis says cats and dogs are taking the place of children in the family as he presided over his first general audience of the New Year.
The Vatican's doctrine office, however, has said it is"morally acceptable" for Catholics to receive COVID-19 vaccines based on research that used cells derived from aborted fetuses. Francis and Emeritus Pope Benedict XVI have been fully vaccinated with Pfizer-BioNTech shots. "It is appropriate that institutions such as the World Trade Organization and the World Intellectual Property Organization adapt their legal instruments lest monopolistic rules constitute further obstacles to production and to an organized and consistent access to health care on a global level," he said.
On other topics, Francis lamented Syria's devastation, calling for"political and constitutional reforms" so the country can be"reborn," and urged that any sanctions avoid targeting civilians. He didn't single Russia out by name but called for"acceptable and lasting solutions" for Ukraine and the southern Caucasus inspired by"reciprocal trust and readiness to engage in calm discussion.
