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:

  1. 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.
  2. This cooperation is remote and permitted with a list of obligations.  
  3. The degree of remoteness is even greater for vaccines where tainted cell lines were used only for testing in the development stage.
  4. The present pandemic and other graves reasons render the use licit.
  5. 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.

Rome and the SSPX - Version 2026 Part 4 - The Mass (Updated with Postscript)

+ JMJ Introduction "I don’t understand why they are so afraid of this Mass!!!" A Conservative Catholic priest spoke these words to me one evening in his parich parking lot in 2011, mere days before Pope Benedict XVI issued his follow up to Summorum Pontificum ( 2007-07-07 Motu Proprio , Letter to Bishops , ), Universae Ecclesiae ( 2011-04-30 Motu Proprio , Note ). The people who were afraid that night were bishops. This conservative priest had started a project a year or so earlier – very simply a Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration chapel. Earlier that evening I had visited this chapel with some friends and ended up in a conversation with the priest after everyone had left. Word reached the bishops palace after the completion of the chapel and the priest received a phone call and visit from his local ordinary. My impression (this being now ~15 years ago) was that he was nervous about how the visit would proceed. The bishop came, made a visit to OLJC in the Blessed Sacrament and ...

SSPX and the Resistance - A Comparison Of Ecclesiology

Shining the light of Church Teaching on the doctrinal positions of the SSPX and the Resistance. Principles are guides used to aid in decision making.  It stands to reason that bad principles will lead to bad decisions. The recent interactions between Rome and the SSPX has challenged a number of closely held cultural assumptions of people in both sides of the disagreement. This has resulted in cultural skirmishes in both Rome and the SSPX. Since it is the smaller of the two, the skirmishes have been more evident within the SSPX.  The cultural fault-line that Bishop Fellay crossed appears to be linked to two points of Catholic Doctrine: Ecclesiology and Obedience.  The cultural difference of view points is strong enough that it has resulted in the expulsion of a number of members.  It should also be noted that some other priests expelled since the beginning of the latest interactions (starting in 2000) held the same view points and have joined with the l...

Rome,the SSPX and this time of Crisis - Updated

+ JMJ Obviously there's lots of events right now. First we have the April 1st - I almost thought it was April Fools - meeting between Pope Francis and Bishop Fellay.  Nothing really news worthy as this is a natural progression as Rome appears to be considering fulfilling Archbishop Lefebvre's wish to 'accept us as we are'. Second we have the April 8th publication of what will be a verbose exhortation of the Synod of the Family. I'm willing to bet that the Pope will give with one hand (unilateral regularization of SSPX) and take with the other (ambiguous document that opens the flood gates of sin further). Much to pray for.
