Ethics and Public Policy Center: COVID vaccination not sinful

By Dr. Jeff Mirus ( bio - articles - email ) | Mar 09, 2021 On March 5th, the Ethics and Public Policy Center issued a statement by pro-life Catholic scholars to clarify the The Moral Acceptability of Receiving COVID-19 Vaccines. The strength of this statement lies in its clear presentation of the exact nature and extent of the (very remote) connection of the vaccines with abortion. The weakness is that the statement chooses not to address the moral obligation, if one chooses to be vaccinated, of making clear one’s opposition to the use of immorally-derived cell lines. I want to emphasize that the EPPC statement does not contradict anything taught on this matter by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and, through that Congregation, authorized by the Pope. The purpose of the EPPC statement is to emphasize how very remote is the material cooperation with evil in the decision to accept one of these vaccines. For those who are troubled about

Pulses and Impulses: The world as God s theater

By Dr. Jeff Mirus ( bio - articles - email ) | Feb 16, 2021 I could not help but smile at the news that Pope Francis had sent a message, via the Vatican’s Secretary for Relations with States, to be read at a global “virtual” ceremony marking World Pulses Day. Never mind that it took me a little time to figure out what “pulses” were (annual crops harvested solely as dry grains, yielding between one and a dozen grains or seeds). As better-informed Catholics know, they are an important source of nutrition for the poor. By word association, this led me to reflect on a classic first world problem, the conflict between pulses and impulses, and on the chronic mishandling of both. Here we are in the West, busying ourselves with a continuing redefinition of human sexuality to cater to various “impulses”, while so many people both here and abroad would love to be busy solving the problem of getting enough to eat. And millions more, often unknown

What big teeth you have! Why abortion IS a defining issue

By Dr. Jeff Mirus ( bio - articles - email ) | Feb 05, 2021 Each year at election time in America, and especially during the quadrennial Presidential election season, we hear a chorus of Catholic voices lamenting “single issue voting” or the tendency of pro-life Catholics to make abortion some sort of a “litmus test”. One of the more recent examples of this type was San Diego Bishop McElroy’s statement of concern about this very problem among even some of his brother bishops. But is it really a problem? Let’s take a closer look. Actually, I have never heard a Catholic in any position of authority argue that the sin of abortion is greater than any other conceivable sin. Rather, as a serious intrinsically evil act of murder, abortion is rightly regarded as a very serious moral matter. In this sense, it will be properly weighed in relationship to other very serious intrinsic evils. Moreover, abortion is practiced on an enormous scale, and in
