It is important that you read the posts from yesterday and the day before to come up to speed on this post. So, the website of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has a carefully nuanced, but very strong, statement on the use fetal cells from elective abortions and on vaccination of your children.

Fetal cells, pro-life, and Roman Catholic bishops
So, what does the United States Conference on Catholic Bishops have to say about vaccines cultured on fetal cells? Well, the following statement is found on their website: 1. Should a government agency or private company use tissue from induced abortions for vaccine development or other research? The Catholic bishops have answered in the negative. […]
Fetal cells, pro-life, and vaccines
I was asked yesterday: I am wondering if you can write more about vaccines, many of which are cultured on fetal cells. Many people may not be aware that several vaccines are cultured on human fetal cell lines. Some are from aborted fetuses and some are not (natural miscarriage, freely donated by the mother, died […]
What does it mean to be fully pro-life?
In several posts I talked about denial of communion who are actively and personally involved in pro-life activities. But, here is a small final thought. What does it mean to be pro-life in a full way? If all too many people are simply pro-birth but not fully pro-life, we need to ask, “What does it […]
Denial of communion and war
Some of you are bristling already at the title of this post, but I urge you to read on, you might be surprised. The last post on this subject was way back on 14 April, so some of you have probably forgotten that I said that we needed to go on with some more discussion […]
Some notes on denial of communion to anti-life people
Before I go on in my discussion of the denial of communion to anti-life people, I need to answer some very good questions that came up that I would like to answer: More on your topic — where does it end? How about the justices who wrote Roe v. Wade? The Presidents who nominated them, […]
All who approve and promote murder should be denied communion, right?
I commented yesterday that there I have no problem with the idea that those who are actively and directly involved in activities that are in murderous violation of pro-life standards should be denied communion. But, I also commented that many pro-birth people do not fully carry out their own beliefs. That is, they are willing […]
Active anti-life people should be denied communion
Active anti-life people should be denied communion. That is something with which I fully and completely agree. I agreed with it during the last election and I agree with it now. Let me carefully say that I am speaking only about people who are actively and directly involved in activities that are in murderous violation […]
Impassive Mary at the Cross?
The Blessed Virgin Mary is all too often pictured as an impassive observer at the Cross. At best, she is pictured with a face of quiet suffering. Only a statue such as Michaelangelo’s Pieta catches something of her all too human suffering. But, it might be worth asking how the Church Fathers pictured the Theotokos’ […]
Paedophilia, the Roman Catholic Church, and justice
I sympathize a lot with victim’s groups. Each and every one of us has someone that has hurt us badly sometime in our life. That is, sadly, part of the human condition since the Fall. And, when we are hurt, we want the other person to hurt every bit as badly as we do. Actually, […]
