Archbishop Timothy Broglio declares an invasion of Greenland would violate Catholic doctrine & Catholic soldiers can refuse to comply. Looks like the MAGA religious exemption rule applies to more than just cakes. Can't wait to see MAGAs declare we're a secular nation with religion/state separation.

The next day, a message is flashed to all British Consulates in Germany:
You can grant temporary visas to those on the US waiting list. BUT:
1) EVERY exemption needs to be signed PERSONALLY by the relevant Consul.
2) We're not ordering you to. Just highlighting it's okay, if you're asked. /10

In order to obtain a religious exemption for vaccines, you should have to provide evidence from your religion that proves it’s against doctrine.
And you’ll be SOL, because the major global religions have overtly supported vaccines, and the very scarce ones that don’t represent a tiny fraction.

The way in which the US Supreme Court has been trying to for a year now illogically carve out a "none of this applies to the Fed" exemption from the administration's reign of terror on civic institutions, which it is otherwise agrees with, underlines the only way to hurt these guys is in the money.

Cannot be stated enough that mainstream liberalism in America and Western Europe has a comprehensive exemption carved out for MENA, the rules need not apply.
Notably, served in an administration that did not reverse its predecessor’s recognition of Israeli sovereignty in the Golan and Moroccan sovereignty in Western Sahara.
At base this self soothing rhetoric is already pathetic but it's made all the more unbelievable when it comes from a guy like Dan Shapiro, who loves Trump's policies on Palestine and Iran and thinks Biden should have mirrored them even more than he did
