Much confusion and not a little distress has resulted from we the people giving unto Caesar (our Governments and ruling authorities) the things that are God’s. The much quoted and timeless words of Jesus from the Gospels to “give unto Cesar the things that are Caesar’s and unto God the things that are God’s”
“Caesar was allowed to reach deep into the sacred tabernacles of our Churches and scatter the flock.” Clergy of many religions , showed no courage or faith and not only failed their station but aided and abetted Caesar.
Regarding Pope Francis, his position that people are expressing “an act of love” when they submit to a covid injection is patently false. This is yet another one of his many heresies, albeit a major one. In fact, 4 years ago one group of Catholic theologians wrote an open letter to Pope Francis charging him with the crime of heresy. (see https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/41164/theologians-accuse-pope-of-heresy) This man is a false prophet akin to what Jesus describes in Matthew 7: 15-20. He is leading the Catholic Church astray. The "covid criminal enterprise" would not have gained traction if a united and discerning Church had stood strong for truth and righteousness, if it had been "the salt of the earth" and the "light of the world". This manifestation of Caesar needed the Church's support to succeed.
Buddhists don't have "God" per se but the Dalai Lama cited "experts" as the moral authority on the jabs and openly approved of government force to get people of any age injected. My mother's Christian Reformed pastor partnered with Toronto Public Health to set up Covid vaccine clinics in the church hall. He promoted the injections in the weekly bulletin as "a gift from God" and complied with every ridiculous measure that permanently decimated church membership after lockdown. I read and heard no objections on religious or moral grounds from any leader of any religion. The few independent pastors who stayed true to what they believe are God's laws and continued to hold services here in Ontario were punished with excessive force of very bad law.
[19] But Peter and John answered and said to them, "Whether it is right in the sight of God to give heed to you rather than to God, you be the judge; [20] for we cannot stop speaking about what we have seen and heard."
So well stated!!! This is truth, brother 🙏🏼

Amen. Excellent essay, Dr. Christian ( what an apt surname you have).
Thank you for not surrendering truth-seeking to Caesar.
Acts 4:19-20 NASBS

Nice work indeed, I could not have written it any better. Bravo!
Bullseye.
