Too much time on your hands?  If you were on your deathbed, you’d judge him a hypocrite or coward and send him away?  Call the authorities and turn him in? 
Take the 💰 but not the ✝️?  Take both?

Anyone making this argument should have no problem taking the abortion shot, because the unCatholic argument boils down to this:

The ends justify the means.

Leaving aside the emotional content and nature of this brief rant, in order to be logically consistent, you must accept the SSPX position on the abortion jab, per Fr. Selegny’s September/2021 article, in which he opined that taking the jab can be charitable and prudent (he has in mind, for example, a priest to give last rites to hospital patients.

Do you?

Even if one were to concede Fr. Selegny’s argument, toward the end of his December/2020 article on the same topic, Fr. Selegny admits that scandal would prevent the liceity of such an act, citing scripture (as Joe Z did above):

“To properly situate this question, it is important to know that all the meat consumed in Antiquity necessarily passed through the temples. Moreover, there is only one word in Greek, mageiros (used exclusively in the masculine), to designate the priest, the butcher and the cook: for those who wanted to abstain from immolated meat, there was no other meat to eat.
Let us add that the sin of idolatry is one of the most serious, since it attacks God himself.

St. Paul answers that it is permissible to eat these meats, unless it scandalizes the neighbor.”

Venenum in cauda (“the sting is in the tail@).



Agreed. All these keyboard commandos on here throwing this priest in jail under the bus, I think they would see it differently if they were the ones in a hospital bed, knowing they were going to be dead in a few days, in the state of mortal sin wishing they had a priest to hear their confession and give them Extreme Unction ...
The question is:
1) Did he take an abortion tainted shot?

Sean is assuming he did. What are you assuming Mr. Yeti?

Correction: I do NOT assume he did.  In fact, I assume he didn't, otherwise he would not have procured a fake covid pass.

But I'm saying OTHERS who don't know him will reasonably assume he did (and will be scandalized by it, and therefore it is not permissible to go the fake docuмents route).

I’d say that’s quite a stretch to argue that laymen would presume a priest has acquired a fake covid pass, when most would assume the opposite (ie., that a priest is not a criminal).
A stretch in the west world, perhaps yes. Not in the countries where people routinely ignore nonsense laws.
