Steve, the pope is a globalist and has his assignments just as the other world "leaders" do. It is a sign of growing desperation that the globalists now feel they have to appeal to the populace based on their presumed devotion to the pope. Would God command vaccine mandates to his followers? The same God who declared "You shall have no other gods before Me?" NO to the false gods: big pharma, power hungry globalists, and those who's thirst for wealth at the expense of their fellow human beings cannot be quenched.
