Cardinal Dominik Duka of Prague has stirred up a controversy after he described COVID-19 as China s biological weapon, during a homily in Vitus Cathedral earlier this month.
His February 6 sermon featuring this claim has since been widely circulated and can be viewed here. The Chinese virus is the worst. It is a leaked biological weapon, the 77-year-old Dominican cardinal said.
He also maintained that his claims could be supported by the military. All military experts around the world are convinced of this, but they are either afraid to or do not dare say it, Cardinal Duka said.
