Dear Fr. Palko-

Could you please explain why the arguments in this article are erroneous or inapplicable?

https://www.lifesitenews.com/opinion/on-abortion-tainted-vaccines/

Supposing for the sake of argument that remote material cooperation with abortion vis-a-vis the COVID19 "vaccines" could ever be morally licit, the Vatican therein lays out the criteria and circuмstances which must be present to justify it.

As this anonymous priest explains, of the four essential criteria which could (allegedly) justify such cooperation, three are absent.

It is therefore indisputably morally illicit for any Catholic (or anyone else, for that matter) to receive a covid19 gene serum.

Why are you and the SSPX saying the opposite?

It gives the impression of being self-serving.  Self-serving, because if was the SSPX in 2005 which reversed its former per se ban on receiving abortive vaccines, citing the non-authoritative/non-magisterial 2005 docuмent of the Pontifical Academy for Life as its authority.

But today, the SSPX ignores that same Vatican, even after it published a magisterial and binding docuмent by the CDF titled Dignitas Personae in 2008 (later reaffirmed in 2020/2021).

This US District office has been in possession of this article for at least 3 months now, but no correction or refutation.  It has simply chosen to ignore it, preferring to remain content with Menzingen's citations from non-binding moral theology manuals of what is permissible as regards remote material cooperation in evil in cases of necessity generally, but again, ignoring completely the fact that the Vatican has defined precisely what the criteria for such cooperation are, relative to the COVID vax.

Could it be that the SSPX does not like the implications such sound judgment would have for its schools, priests, and bishops?


This letter acknowledges it outright, when it adduces as a reason for complicity with the NZ edict, the fact that the school was built with much effort 27 years ago, and therefore it would be a shame to close it today, after so much effort.  

Until and unless the SSPX can explain why the 2008 docuмent Dignitas Personae is to be ignored, is it not eminently reasonable instead to ignore the SSPX position (or, given that it is advanced in contradiction to reasonable guidelines from pontifical authority, to oppose the SSPX position actively as error, from a true charity for souls?)?

And if the SSPX is feeling the sting of repudiation from clergy and faithful, has it not brought upon itself this reproach, by appearing [again, I do not judge intentions] to have chosen the path of complicity, ease, and compromise over that of persecution, suffering, and sacrifice (so needed and demanded by God as reparation amidst this present chastisement!)?

I note in passing that you have quoted Archbishop Lefebvre on the importance of traditional schools, and hold this out as a reason for keeping them open even at the price of persuading your faithful and teachers to get a dangerous serum.  But perhaps you did not notice that at the time +Lefebvre was making these statements, the SSPX was against the moral liceity of receiving an abortion tainted vaccine under any circuмstances.  Neither did it leave this decision open to its faithful, but recognized this was a duty incuмbent upon them, even if it meant resisting state vaccine mandates.


Do you really believe Archbishop Lefebvre would give the same advice you are giving today (when the SSPX held a diametrically opposed position while he was alive)?

Semper Idem,
Sean Johnson

I'm disappointed because Fr. Palko gives good sermons but alas here we are. We are in a state of emergency and if the state forces Catholic schools to impose vaccine mandates, then the priests should be willing to close the school and encourage parents to homeschool. The school can be dispensed of in these times.

Meanwhile, from the FSSP:

FSSP priest advises laity to avoid COVID shots, warns ‘one world government’ is in the works


Fr. Daniel Nolan addressed the lies and falsehoods politicians and public health leaders told society about COVID.

I think that in general, many Catholics are afraid of "breaking the rules", in this case, mind you, clearly unjust laws which they ought to resist, even if it means doing something like forging information.

(Not recommending it, but in theory it is an option. Remember that priests who wanted to get into England during the Penal Times to minister Sacraments to the Faithful HAD to come into the country under pseudonyms and forged passports, or they'd be thrown in jail, banished, or even executed. Despite what would otherwise appear to be lying, the Church did not condemn the measures of these priests in such desperate times. Maybe there is something we can extrapolate from this). 

Of course, there is the more prudent option of abandoning the school and encouraging all families to instead engage in homeschooling. It is, in my opinion, an attachment to bricks and motars, so to speak, that is holding the SSPX there back from this hard yet obviously right option, rather than encourage souls to get the poison. 

You can't be on good terms with an evil regime. You shouldn't WANT to be.

The SSPX desire to be on good terms with the satanic world, Vatican II, the Conciliar Church -- no good will come of it, I can tell you that.

This especially when considering that Jacinda Arden (the PM of NZ) was named a "World Economic Forum Young Global Leader" in 2014. Anyone who has ties to that insidious Fabian Socialist institution, is clearly our enemy, clearly a whited sepulcher! 

But getting back to my original point, I think many people today, Catholics and non-Catholics, falling into the kind of mania that Hilaire Belloc described in his book Europe and the Faith

Quote
But the sense of an absolute civil government at the moment of the Reformation was something very different. It was a demand, an appetite, proceeding from the whole community, a worship of civil authority. It was the deification of the State and of law; it was the adoration of the Executive. 

"This governs me; therefore I will worship it and do all it tells me." Such is the formula for the strange passion which has now and then seized great bodies of human beings intoxicated by splendor and by the vivifying effects of command. Like all manias (for it is a mania) this exaggerated passion is hardly comprehended once it is past. Like all manias, while it is present it overrides every other emotion.

(pg. 162)
