During the homily for the year-end mass, on the afternoon of Friday 31 December, he criticized the vaccines and the line adopted by the government to combat the pandemic.
It happened in Casorate Primo, a town in Pavia on the border with the province of Milan, whose parish of San Vittore Martire is part of the Milanese archdiocese.
The words of the parish priest, Don Tarcisio Colombo, aroused the reaction of several faithful, who got up from their place and left the church.
The news was given today by the newspaper "La Provincia Pavese".
The case has already been reported to the Curia of Milan.
Don Tarcisio defended himself from criticism: "In life - he said - we must also know how to listen to those who have an opinion different from their own. If in this historical phase something different is said about the pandemic than the common feeling, it is pointed out as' no vax '".
The priest did not want to say whether he was vaccinated against Covid-19: "I only answer this question to doctors, on personal health issues there is no need to give answers to people who are not doctors".
