The Catholic Diocese of La Crosse says it is working privately on issues with one of its priests.
The Reverend James Altman has apparently been telling his parishioners the COVID-19 vaccines are useless and he has been ignoring safety guidelines.
A photo of the priest presiding overcrowded Easter services at St. James the Lesser Catholic Church shows many in the congregation not wearing masks and about 170 walking up to receive communion.
The La Crosse Tribune says it obtained part of a church bulletin calling the vaccines experimental and “damnable.”
