Bishop Strickland: no to vaccines from aborted babies

Comment:
Bishop Strickland is boldly making the case for living out one’s Catholic faith in every age. Covid vaccines tempt the soul with promises of health and safety, when in reality, no such result is certain. What is certain is that abortion is always wrong and we cannot give a nod to the gods of child sacrifice and all their empty promises. Our Catholic “prima facie duty” in this instance is found in the fifth commandment, “Thou Shall Not Kill”.
