It’s not Catholic to say getting the
COVID shot is ‘gift of love’

Original Article

In her National Catholic Reporter article “Catholics seeking ‘religious’ exemptions from vaccines must follow true church teaching on conscience,” M. Therese Lysaught, a professor of bioethics and a corresponding member of the Pontifical Academy for Life, maintains that Catholics in good conscience MUST receive a COVID-19 vaccine. She provides a template for a “dialogue” with someone asking for an exemption. From the get go, she makes it clear that those who refuse to get vaccinated are egocentric, deficient in their understanding of what the healing ministry of Jesus requires, not committed to unity or the common good, without concern for the poor and vulnerable, and lacking in charity.

Comments:

If it is a "gift of love" to receive the experimental jab, then the Jews' "gift of love" to mankind was allowing the Nazi doctors to perform experiments on them. After all, these experiments could only have been sold as "beneficial to mankind."

The shot is not a vaccine, and it does not work. If it worked, you would not have to call out the military, and fire people from their jobs, to force people to take it. Unvaccinated people do not make you sick. The government made you sick by inventing Covid, by funding the labs, which was against the law. And you make yourself sick with your lifestyle choices. The shot has not been tested, which is why all the focus on their need for more data. That data is showing there are adverse affects, and unknown longer lasting issues. The government and big business has overstepped their roles, and become tyrants. I will forever hate them for what they have done. I will do every thing I can at the election box to remove them from their offices. I will do everything I can to punish the businesses that have enrolled in this attack on individual liberty. Don't worry about keeping me out of your stores. I don't intend to spend my money there.

So now to entice me take the poison injection I'm going to be brow beat over my head with the religious angle. Nice try while you clutch a jewel encrusted golden chalice. What next? Refusing to give communion until Catholics receive the jab and produce a vaccine card at the communion rail. Pontifical Academy for Life should go play in the traffic.

Get it don't get it. If you get the shot and feel you want extra protection, protect yourself. Or don't. If you do not get the shot but feel you want to wear protection, go for it. It is not a vaccine, it is an inoculation like the flu shot. It offers limited protection and could make an episode easier to handle. But let's leave each other alone. God gave you a brain, use it. And quite frankly NO ONE in America should have to get an exemption against putting a medication into their body. I am not a Catholic and while I have faith I do not have a need to be a member of a specific religious group. I want everyone to stop telling us what we HAVE to do. Just the facts and we decide what we think is best for us and our family. If God wants to tell me what to do I assume he knows how to get in touch with me.

I am so lost right now. What is happening to our country is terrifying. I could always count on my government to do the "right thing." No more. I always had my Church. Sixteen years of Catholic education taught me to stand for truth. To do what is right. My entire junior year in high school we focused on "Can the end ever justify the means." We were presented with dozens of scenarios like, if you robbed a bank and gave it all to charity, was robbing the bank a righteous act? Could it ever be? No we are faced with the question "If you create a "vaccine" you think will save millions of lives, but to do that you have to rely on cells from an innocent child that were obtained from a late term abortion/infanticide, is the vaccine created moral?" Was the child aborted "just a little bit?" Can a Catholic receive the vaccine in good conscience? Where do we draw the line? I am so disgusted by the actions of the Church hierarchy? Those churches shut down so fast. Denying the faithful the sacraments for a year. Cowards. I am ashamed. It is their SACRED DUTY to minister to the people. My own parish advertised Confession hour this past Easter but for parishioners only? To deny Confession to a penitent is evil. My uncle, a Catholic priest for more than forty years, nearly died protecting the Eucharist on his way to a sick call. Priests were not allowed to speak when carrying the Host in public. He was approached on the street and when he didn't respond they beat him unmercifully. His sacrifice would be a joke by today's "standards." That same uncle said Mass and lead religious services for all denominations on the battlefield of Europe during WWII. What if he had been afraid of all those people trying to kill them? He wasn't facing possible death from a disease, he was facing certain death from bombs and bullets. Cardinal Cupich, in Chicago has mandated vaccines for all diocesan employees. He has forbidden pastors from writing letters for parishioners who wish to claim a religious exemption from the vaccine. The Pope has pushed the "act of love" garbage. I won't leave the Church because of these weak flawed men. Jesus said "And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church, and the gates of the hell shall not prevail against it." Francis fails as a successor to Peter, and the gates of Hell a clanging loudly. Pray unceasingly.

I am a good practicing Catholic, but I cannot stand the current Pope and don't go to church, because he can't hold a candle to the priests and nuns who taught me. What a dishonest loser!

Gift of love? It is barely and cautiously permitted, being as the main vaccines are developed on the cell liens of aborted babies. There are pro-life vaccines but those aren't the ones we are all taking. The Church has cautiously agreed that it is OK and possibly a good to use them. But a gift of love? The NCReporter claims to speak about politics in the name of the Church all the time, except weirdly silent on abortion. They are hyper clerical - the kind who just can't leave politics to the laity. Now the NCRegister, lay-run, is a decent outfit

Thanks OP. This is a thoughtful, comprehensive defense of individual liberty and following your own conscience. It summarizes all the solid arguments for choosing not to be vaccinated.

RICHLAND COUNTY, S.C. - The Richland County Sheriff’s Department said a Fort Jackson Army trainee left the base Thursday morning and hijacked a school bus. Sheriff Leon Lott said the trainee was wearing physical training clothes when he left the base at about 7 a.m. with a rifle. Lott said someone called the sheriff’s office about a man attempting to flag down cars on Interstate 77. Shortly after, a deputy was stopped on Percival Road by a parent of one of the students on the school bus. The parent told the deputy that their child was on the bus and there was a man with a gun on the bus, Lott said.  CORRECTIONS*

The Framers of the Constitution never intended for DC to be a state, but the Democrats are going for the power grab anyway. The Democrat-Communist party knows they don’t have the support to amend the Constitution so they are pushing for DC statehood through a vote in Congress. The Democrats stole the White House and the Senate in 2020 with massive voter fraud so now they are fiercely working to pack the Supreme Court and pack the Senate.

On Saturday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Yasmin Vossoughian Reports,” Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY) argued that the $3.5 trillion price tag for the Build Back Better Act reconciliation package “is a modest investment” for an economy the size of America’s. Torres said, “[T]here’s misconception about the price tag of the Build Back Better Act. The Build Back Better Act, the original draft, it is not 3.5 trillion over the course of a year. It’s over the course of ten years. So, it’s $350 billion. Which, for a $20 trillion economy like ours, is a modest investment. So, I think it’s shortsighted to focus on the price tag.”

Benedict Cumberbatch is reflecting on playing a closeted cattle rancher who falls in love with a young man in 1920s Montana in his new movie “The Power of the Dog.” The Oscar-nominated actor plays Phil Burbank, a hypermasculine rancher who inspires fear in awe in those around him—a reign of terror that comes from a deeply closeted sexuality. His made-up persona runs into some trouble after his brother (Jesse Plemons) brings home a new wife (Kirsten Dunst) and her queer son (Kodi Smit-McPhee). Phil torments them until he finds himself exposed to the possibility of love.
