Apr 23, 2020 | Bishop, COVID-19 | 0 comments

Bishop Joseph Strickland has written a letter encouraging pharmaceutical companies to use ethical methods in the development of a vaccine for the coronavirus and encouraging all to support and pray for this.

The Church continues to stand in clear opposition to the use of cell lines derived from aborted children.
