Clearing the FUD Around Morally Tainted Vaccines

JMJ

LifeSite News has been steadfast in its campaign about morally tainted vaccines.

There's only one problem, in their zeal, they've made a critical departure from the moral theology of the Catholic Church regarding the cooperation with evil.

The leveraging of celebrity Catholics doesn't change this one whit.

The departure is that they seem to believe there exists a moral link between the cell line used and all the preceding murders / feticides that occurred prior and since then.

This is false.

When someone receives a morally tainted vaccine, they cooperate remotely in the evil of the murder of the baby whose cells were used in the production of the vaccine.

In the case of HEK-293 and PER-C.6, the cell lines are derived from one baby each.

There is no moral link between the person inoculated and the other murders.

The best analogy I could come up with is that if a person is a serial killer and sells you one of his victims watches, you have benefited from the murder of that specific person. Not all of his victims.

So while the methods used in the murder of the babies are wide, various and horrendous, it doesn't change the fact that:

We are cooperating in the evil of a murder if the morally tainted vaccines employed tainted cell lines. For most cell lines this is one baby.
This cooperation is remote and permitted with a list of obligations.
The degree of remoteness is even greater for vaccines where tainted cell lines were used only for testing in the development stage.
The present pandemic and other graves reasons render the use licit.
The recourse to shock media statement such as "Archbishop Viganò: Vaccines made with fetal tissue are a ‘human sacrifice of innocent victims offered to Satan" are manipulative methods unworthy of Catholics.

The Curious Case of Steve Skojec and the Dangers of Deep Diving into the Crisis Sub-Titled: The Failings of Others

+ JMJ It's been a while now since Steve Skojec sold 1P5 and abandoned the Catholic Faith. I've been a 'Trad' since 1982 and in those 40+ years I seen this death-spiral before with a similar end point. It seems that anyone who jumps into the fray unprepared for the enormous task of righting wrongs will, eventually, become discouraged by not the task but the people who surround them. I remember when Skojec complained of the treatment his family received from a traditional priest. This seems to have been the start of the end for him. So what can we learn from the likes of Steve Skojec, Michael Voris (maybe?), Louie Verrecchio, Gerry Matatix and other celebrity Catholics? Probably quite a lot about what not to do. First, don't burn out on the crisis? When you burn out, on work or anything else, little things assume a more greater importance than they are due. This is one of my 'canary in the coal mine' signals that I've been stretching myself too th...

Communique about Avrille Dominicans - SSPX.org

+ JMJ Having completed the review of the 'Avrille' perspective, this communique from the French District Superior is perfectly timed. I believe that the 'resistance' has lost rationality and further argumentation simply results in their holding on to their false ideal all the more firmly. Pray much ... First, for them to acquiesce to the grace of humility in order to obtain a clear perspective on the principles involved. Second, that we may remain faithful to the Church, and Her Dogmas, Doctrines and Principles. Lest we become that which against we strove ... P^3 Courtesy of SSPX.org

Morning and Evening and other sundry Prayers

+ JMJ Along the theme of P^3 (Prayer, Penance, Patience), and for my own reference ... here is a collection of Morning and Evening prayers from the Ideal Daily Missal along with some additional prayers. In this crisis of the Church, I do not think it is possible to do too much prayer, penance and have patience. P^3

A Reply to Martin Blackshaw’s FLAWED Remnant article titled: FLAWED: SSPX Advice on Abortion-tainted Vaccines

+ JMJ An article has appeared in the Remnant (link to article) and I am afraid that there are a number of flaws in it that need to be addressed. The author, Martin Blackshaw, believes that both the Church and the SSPX are misapplying the principle of Moral Theology called 'Cooperation In Evil'. Unfortunately, Mr. Blackshaw rests most of his arguments on citing authors that support his position, without considering the possibility that they are wrong. This highlights a key factor in this crisis: ignorance of the faith and its application . I don't am not singling out Mr. Blackshaw for this criticism, I have observed that it applies to laity and religious, superior and subject a like. No one seems immune in this enduring crisis, myself included. I further believe that this ignorance is why so many Catholics, both traditional and non, rely on their gut feeling or "Catholic conscience" for charting their way through this crisis of the faith. While...

Magisterium and Levels of Assent

+ JMJ Understanding the levels of assent to be given to the teachings of the Church is a critical success factor in walking the knife's edge during this crisis of the Church. The levels of assent are generally associated with the theological grades of certainty, which are not surprisingly mirrored by the censures for contravening the teachings of the various levels.
