The Diocese of Portsmouth has launched an investigation into anti-vaccination material posted by a priest of St Mary’s Church, Gosport, after The Tablet disclosed that parishioners had been warned that Covid jabs are “bio-terrorism”, writes Catherine Pepinster. Last week, The Tablet revealed that Fr George Roth had posted denunciations of Covid vaccines on St Mary’s website and had also emailed parishioners warnings, claiming that the vaccines could put lives in danger. Fr Roth, a member of a Franciscan order that runs St Mary’s, told parishioners that those “pushing vaccinations” could be conspiring with “evil men who wish to depopulate our world” – a possible reference to a fear that foetal material derived from abortions is used in vaccines. Now the Diocese of Portsmouth, which includes Gosport, has stepped into the controversy.
