Covid-19 vaccines have been drawing warnings from several Roman Catholic priests to this day. One of these warnings has recently come from a Catholic priest in Wisconsin, who advises his congregants to shun said vaccines.
As reported on NBC News, in an April 18 post on the bulletin of St. James the Less Catholic Church in La Crosse, Rev. James Altman expressed his concern regarding the safety and effectiveness of the Covid-19 vaccines. With the headline Do Not Be Anyone’s Guinea Pig, Altman warns his parishioners of the alleged dangers of the vaccine.
“Dear family, The ‘covid-19’ injection is NOT a vaccine, PERIOD,” begins the post. “It is NOT an injection of a lesser version of the illness but rather an experimental use of a genetic altering substance that modifies YOUR BODY—YOUR Temple of the Holy Spirit. It is NOT a vaccine, and the use of that word bears False Witness to the Truth.”
The bulletin post further urges the church devotees to refuse to be “anyone’s guinea pig.” It then reminded all members of the church that “God is still the best doctor and prayer is still the best medicine.”
This is not the first time, though, that a Catholic priest openly spoke against the Covid-19 vaccines. In Tyler, Texas, Bishop Joseph Strickland made a letter to his diocese, encouraging its members to “reject any vaccine that uses the remains of aborted children in research, testing, development, or production.”
“Every procured abortion murders an innocent human person. For university, government, or industrial scientists to use materials obtained from the remains of an electively aborted child in the research, development, testing, or production of any vaccine is immoral and constitutes formal cooperation in evil,” the letter continued.
In February, The Wall Street Journal reported the Archdiocese of New Orleans releasing a statement warning Catholics of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, which was alleged to be “morally compromised as it uses the abortion-derived cell line in development and production of the vaccine as well as the testing.” It then encouraged the faithful to opt for Pfizer or Moderna vaccines.
It can be recalled, however, that in December last year, the Vatican issued a statement declaring it to be “morally acceptable to receive Covid-19 vaccines that have used cell lines from aborted fetuses in their research and production process” when there isn’t any alternative available. No specific vaccines were named in the statement.
Moreover, the Vatican assured that in the absence of any other choice, all “clinically safe and effective vaccines can be used in good conscience” and the “use of such vaccines does not constitute formal co-operation with the abortion.” It is furthermore claimed that even though some vaccine candidates were made using cells from fetuses that were aborted decades ago, no fetal cells are present in any of the vaccines.
