The priests reject religious liberty but they were using the constitution to argue against closing the churches. They were not accepting religious liberty in principle.
But those Catholic who resist the jab can't also appeal to principles of "rights" and "freedom" in order to assert their freedom from coercion to receive the jab? Father Pagliarani is completely off-base here. People do in fact have certain rights under natural law. Governments don't have the right to genocide people and force them to take a potentially-lethal jab.
