Regarding promoting "the vaccine": I think TGK might mean by this that they gave permission for the faithful to take it.
That is clearly not promoting it, and the Benedictines and most of the Resistance clergy took the same position on the morality of receiving the jab if you needed to keep your job or if you were convinced that it was for the good of your health etc.
There were a few conservative churchmen who considered it gravely immoral, and I clearly recall Bishop Williamson said in one of his sermons "and I think they're right, I think they're right", however he didn't say it in a definitive dogmatic fashion, there was uncertainty even with him and I don't know what advice he gave to individuals who approached him.
It is false to say the Dominicans "promoted" the jab, and a private email is not promoting something... you would certainly lose your job as a promotion company if that were your approach. No doubt that private email contains a permission rather than a promotion.
Yes, consider the source. People said the same thing about Bp Williamson and the New Mass, and we all know the truth about that.
Giving private permission in one specific case does NOT constitute "promotion" or "open permission for all" to do the same.
Priests who do their job, who take morality seriously, who distinguish between dogma and non-dogma, are penalized in the court of public opinion, because their actions and words aren't "black and white" enough.
Priests who are careful to stay within the lines of truth are easier to lie about on Social Media, because you can use HALF TRUTHS, DISTORTIONS, and EXAGGERATIONS in addition to good-old LIES in your campaigns against them.
If one's position and actions must be reduced to CAVEMAN SPEECH in order for you to be happy, then
TOO BAD
