First of all, just a general comment that my head is spinning watching quotes from the SSPX and the "Conciliar" church being used/not used depending upon whether it supports one's position. I think everyone here needs to realize that there are no authoritative (aka pre-Vatican II) teachings on this topic.
With respect to the above post, it does mention explicit consent from a "proxy", so I suspect that if a family member consented to the transplant that would change the morality of someone receiving the organ. It doesn't have to be from the murder victim.
As a result, I don't see how those receiving the transplant are guilty of, an accomplice to, or in any way supporting the murder act itself. The discussions regarding a vaccine using fetal cells tend to suggest that those that use the vaccine would be doing at least one of those things.
I lean towards not taking these vaccines by the way, but I don't have the authority to expect others to do the same. I don't think this is as black and white as many are making it. And I think that is why there are theologians who teach the material/remote aspect to the topic.
1) Could you please refute Fr. Scott?
2) If so, could you then please attempt to apply double effect (ie., refute Don Nitoglia)?
At present, those arguments are the roadblocks standing in the way of liberty to use abortive vaccines.
If neither can be done (and the latter definitely cannot), then on what justification do your positions in favor of liberty remain?
Nobody wants to constrain Catholics unnecessarily, but you need to justify the liberty of action you are arguing for, instead of just repeating, “I don’t see why,” and “I don’t understand why,” etc.
There may be no authoritative magisterial declaration on the issue (contrary to what the SSPX sees in the 2005 doc, which was my first objection on p.1 of the first thread), but there are pre-conciliar principles of moral theology (double effect) which clearly show the immorality of using abortive fetal cells in the development of vaccines.
If you doubt these principles are properly applied, then you should refute Don Nitoglia.
