Question 38 – Is It Grave Matter For Mortal Sin To Get An Abortion-Tainted Vaccine?

Interview Organization: Confraternity of Our Lady of Fatima
Interviewer Name: Christopher P. Wendt
After consulting with other clergy, I strongly condemn the collaboration with the abortion-tainted vaccine industry. The Vatican has not clearly addressed the immorality of these vaccines' links to abortion. Using these vaccines indirectly contributes to the killing of innocent children and desecrates the sanctity of human life. Ignoring or deferring this knowledge is a grave sin of omission. We must stand firm against the normalization of abortion. While receiving the vaccine may not be a mortal sin for all, it remains a serious moral issue that must be carefully considered with a clear conscience before God.

Transcript:

Based on my judgment and after consulting with other priests and bishops. I strongly condemn this fatal industry’s collaboration. Unfortunately, the Vatican has not made it plain how these vaccines are immoral and how their use is linked to abortion. If you have received the vaccination, you are indirectly contributing to the murder of an innocent child. We must carefully take into account this fatal vaccination industry, especially its use of the tissues and cell lines from the murdered children.

Abortion and scientific research working together are a full desecration of the sacredness of human life. Our use of these vaccines contributes to the development of this fatal industry. Even if they rename it medicine these days, as they have done, the horrific crime they are committing against these aborted infants remains unaffected. The awful methods they utilize in no way support the case for producing the vaccines in this manner. Therefore, these acts of abortion are immoral and a grave crime. If you fail to object to this cruel industry, you put yourself in a gravely immoral position, I’ll add.

Deferring or, worse, maintaining your ignorance of these facts about the vaccines tainted by abortion is a significant sin of omission. Christians now are part of an extremely significant historical period. We must be unwavering in our opposition to abortion becoming normal. Here on earth, we must be the uncompromising witness of God. As a result, we will never collaborate with this awful aspect of this industry. 

When a person receives the abortion-tainted vaccination, we need to carefully consider whether that person has committed a mortal sin. The choice of the individual provided his or her awareness, is just one of many things we need to take into account, along with the full knowledge of this fatal industry. If a person does not fall under these categories, in moral theology, it is not a mortal sin but an objectively serious one. This needs to be carefully examined by our conscience before God.
