Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle likely got COVID-19 in transit to the Philippines, where he was supposed to visit his parents who are now in their 90s.
Manuel Sr and Milagros Tagle – who once felt it was a “letdown” that their son entered priesthood, as they wanted him to become a doctor – were in fact fixtures in his major Masses and events when he was based in the Philippines. Tagle had described them in his biography, written by veteran Vatican journalist Cindy Wooden, as “bank employees who were able to gain some promotions through hard work.
“Fortunately, he is asymptomatic. May I ask you to please have him included in all your daily Mass intentions until he recovers fully from COVID-19 so that he can resume his important ministry for the universal Church?” David said. Vatican Press Office director Matteo Bruni earlier said Tagle already tested negative in a swab test conducted in Rome on September 7. David said Tagle underwent the test “precisely to be allowed to make the trip to Manila.”
