Vatican permits use of COVID-19 vaccines made using aborted foetal tissue

No. Perhaps you might want to reflect a little on rash judgment.

Also, there is a substantial difference between questioning a theological conclusion, and judging people guilty of delicts.

As I said above, irony abounds.

Was everyone sitting around waiting for permission from Italy to take the Polio vaccine?

Presumption begets presumption.

Does anyone else see the irony happening here?

I got it right away.

This thread is on moral teaching from the Church. There is an authority structure for which that teaching is to be delivered in times of need. It is not each bishop for themselves to take unto themselves the mantle of pontiff. But such is the Twenty-first Century, as it has been in the past. The difference is today, Kazakhstan can preach to America. For reasons. And Americans have thousands of bishops they can pick to follow over their own, and the pope.

I’m not putting Bps. Schneider, Strickland, et al on trial, lol. . . .

Actually if you listen, it’s not just one Bishop saying this its several Bishops and your own American Bishop Strickland is one of them.

There are a few thousand bishops in the world.

In the USA, the few hundred bishops have often been divided, with close votes or 60/40 votes on policy questions. This is not a group where individuals are fearful about disagreeing publicly with leaders, or with the majority. They do it often.
