Holy See does not encourage use of COVID vaccines
The Patriarchate of Jerusalem does not endorse the use of vaccines for treating COVID-related illnesses. We believe that members of the Holy Church should make informed choices regarding their healthcare. The Patriarchate respects individual autonomy and does not force its opinions regarding vaccinations upon anyone.
The stance of the Patriarchate of Jerusalem on the use of vaccines for treating COVID-related illnesses is rooted in its commitment to respecting the individual autonomy and informed decision-making of its members as well as its knowledge that certain manufactures of vaccines are not interested in the betterment of humanity. The Patriarchate acknowledges that vaccination is a complex and personal choice, influenced by a variety of factors including medical advice and individual circumstances.

Blessed Mother requests members to leave New York
On 26 March 2019 and again on 10 April 2020, the Blessed Mother warned elders of the House of the Assembly that New York City, New York and environs, would not be safe for members of the Church to live full time. She said the elders should encourage members to leave the area, and in some cases, the state, if it is possible. She said that flooding would occur within just a few years and the infrastructure would begin to fail throughout the area.
Since then, efforts have been made to vacate the state. A representative office remains in Brooklyn for the time being. The Patriarchate hopes to close the office as soon as possible.

{Update: The office maintained by the Patriarchate in New York was vacated, but due to legal agreements it could not be closed until 2024. In May of 2023, the Blessed Mother again warned of flooding that would cause damage to the office, especially a basement guest apartment. The last remaining items of supplies was removed from the facility just before the floods came in late September 2023.}
Worldwide spread of deadly disease
On December 31, 2017, the Blessed Mother appeared to elders of the House of the Assembly warning of a disease that would spread worldwide and that thousands of people would die as a result. She stated that the disease was created by evil people in the world, including certain government leaders.
She said, “Many innocent people will die at the hands of those who created the disease. The economy of many countries will begin to fail and will not recover for many years to come.” The Blessed Mother indicated that the disease would begin taking over certain populations in 2019 and beyond and that people will run in fear throughout the world. She also indicated that mental ilness would become rampant.
In her message, she also warned against certain vaccines that would be manufactured. “Such vaccines will cause death and other serious health problems for certain people later on. A great deal of false information will be spread by governments and the World Health Organisation. Pray for your health and that of others.”

On 3 January 2014, seventeen elders witnessed an apparition of the Blessed Mother in Pisgat Ze’ev, Jerusalem. Elders were planning on sending representatives to Sierra Leone the following month, but the Blessed Mother gave a stern warning. She stated, “Members of the House of the Assembly should not travel to Sierra Leone. There are many who are sick from a deadly disease in western Africa and many will die. Thousands upon thousands will die because of this disease. It is imperative that you remain in the Holy Land at this time. In the year 2017, it will be safer, but you should remain cautious.”

Patriarchate warns of Bergoglio’s appointment as pope
The House of the Assembly of the Patriarchate of Jerusalem feels compelled to express our grave concerns regarding the appointment of Jorge Mario Bergoglio as pope. While we respect the sovereignty of the Roman Catholic Church and its centuries-old traditions, we believe it is our duty to caution against the potential risks associated with this appointment.
Our concerns stem from the following observations:
The appointment of Bergoglio will, regrettably, show signs of distancing the Roman Catholic Church from its ancient heritage. His liberal perspective and limited engagement with the Traditional Community have raised questions about the Church’s willingness to embrace its ancient roots.
We urge the Vatican to consider the implications of Bergoglio’s near silence on the child sexual abuse scandals within the Roman Catholic Church. It is our belief that a lack of attention to this very serious problem is an indication of complicity.
We believe that Bergoglio’s approach to interfaith dialogue will be nothing less than reckless and will be perceived as dangerous and paganistic.
The Patriarchate of Jerusalem is dedicated to promoting unity, understanding, and spiritual growth throughout the world. While we respect the autonomy of the Roman Catholic Church, we implore its authorities to consider these concerns seriously and engage in open, constructive dialogue with those who have additional information concerning Bergoglio and his background and intentions for the future of the Catholic Church.
