No surprise to me, of course he took the jab, and the same for Bp. Galareta. I would be surprised if Tissier de Mallerais took it. The official stance of the SSPX is that you can take the shot, that it is no big deal. They officially gave in and are telling their followers to do the same.

A priest in France said to me, “But if it is necessary to take the vaccine in order to minister to souls, are we simply to abandon them?”

I responded, “In the time of Henry VIII, clandestine priests infiltrated England at mortal peril to themselves, in order to minister to souls.  Today, there is no such peril yet, and you will need to follow their example.”

That is a good response. I would have added: "Why do you give up so easily and assume there is only two options, take the jab or abandon souls?  Encourage all the laity to unite against the communist overloads and come up with ways to fight against these evil men."

If it's morally illicit, it's morally illicit.  For Catholics, the ends do not justify the means.  Now, if it were only a case of risking one's health, I could see making a case for that.  But either he's begging the question and assuming there's no issue with the abortion link, or else he's implying ends justify the means reasoning.  I've seen too much ends-justify-the-means thinking among Traditional clergy here, and if there's one principle that sets Catholic moral theology aside from every other moral/ethic system, it's that one tenet.

Exactly.
