My parish priest refused to do baptisms at Santa Clara, said that he didn't consider Jesuits to be Catholics. 

That is certainly not in-line with official Catholic teaching.

It is also irrelevant to vaccines. The official Catholic stance on vaccines comes from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, which considers the COVID vaccines morally acceptable. Further, the CDF noted that “the morality of vaccination depends not only on the duty to protect one's own health, but also on the duty to pursue the common good", which sounds to me awfully close to stating that Catholics have an obligation to be vaccinated.

However, the CDF does in the end say that one's own moral conscience is determinitive. The actual statement is hard to interpret, but seems to say that taking a COVID vaccine is not a moral imperative IF you ensure that you cannot spread the disease.

The local Bishop is trying to echo that CDF statement, taking a position that includes backing of religious exemptions under circumstances that are not entirely clear to me, but seem to be more or less if one's conscience tells one to not take it.
