PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania (LifeSiteNews) The National Catholic Bioethics Center (NCBC) has produced a template for those seeking a religious exemption from vaccine requirements, explaining ‘the principled religious basis on which a Catholic anywhere in the world may determine that he or she ought to refuse certain vaccines.’

It is presumed that most Christian faiths subscribe to either all or some of these opt-outs. This being the case, anyone wavering over having the serum injected into their God-given bodies can cite their Faith in simply saying no. It is highly unlikely that such a claim would be challenged other than by intimidation to proceed with a counter challenge. If such tactic be used by the drug-pushing nurse, doctor or practise, it is highly unlikely that they would carry out their empty threat.

The NCBC published a ‘Vaccine Exemption Resource for Individuals‘ on July 21 as a guide to those Catholics whose ‘informed conscience’ has come to the ‘sure judgement’ that the experimental COVID-19 so-called vaccines are either morally, medically, or legally impermissible.

The NCBC based its determination that freedom of conscience must be respected on documentation and instruction from within the Catholic Church, including works from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, the Pontifical Academy for Life, and the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC).

The NCBC laid out four key principles by which individual faithful may determine their responsibility to take or refuse medical interventions:

·         Vaccination is not morally obligatory in principle and so must be voluntary.

·         There is a general moral duty to refuse the use of medical products, including certain vaccines, that are produced using human cells lines derived from direct abortions. It is permissible to use such vaccines only under certain case-specific conditions, based on a judgment of conscience.

·         A person’s informed judgments about the proportionality of medical interventions are to be respected unless they contradict authoritative Catholic moral teachings.

·         A person is morally required to obey his or her sure conscience, even if it errs.

In line with the principles set out, the NCBC affirmed that ‘there is no authoritative Church teaching universally obliging Catholics to receive any vaccine,’ thus determining that no binding civil mandate can justly exist. To aid Catholics who object to medical interventions based on these principles, the NCBC produced a template letter July 7, formulated from the same vaccine exemption criteria laid out in the July 21 letter, for those who might need to satisfy employer vaccination requirements, for example.

The foremost objection to COVID vaccine uptake lies in the moral repugnance of the connection to abortion found in the currently available and experimental COVID jabs. But beside this, the NCBC noted that ‘a Catholic might refuse a vaccine based on the Church’s teachings concerning therapeutic proportionality.’

A judgment of therapeutic proportionality ‘must be made by the person who is the potential recipient of the intervention in the concrete circumstances,’ the guidance reads, meaning that public health officials cannot determine that a vaccine in all places serves the common good, for instance, on the behalf of individual consciences.

In fact, the NCBC clarified that the ‘sure judgment’ of one’s own conscience regarding the moral liceity of taking any medical intervention ‘must be obeyed,’ rather than instructions from church or secular officials which contradicts that judgment.

This is borne out in CCC n.1777, the guidance emphasized: ‘In all he says and does, man is obliged to follow faithfully what he knows to be just and right. It is by the judgment of his conscience that man perceives and recognizes the prescriptions of the divine law.’

‘Therefore,’ the NCBC concludes, ‘if a Catholic comes to an informed and sure judgment in conscience that he or she should not receive a vaccine, then the Catholic Church requires that the person follow this certain judgment of conscience and refuse the vaccine.’ Source
