“A human being must always obey the certain judgment of his conscience. If he were deliberately to act against it, he would condemn himself.”1
The SSPX does not have the competence to call a boycott of abortion tainted products. Likewise we cannot directly rule on purely medical issues. Each Catholic must carefully inform their conscience and prudently follow their informed conscience. We affirm with the Congregation of the Faith that “…. practical reason makes evident that vaccination is not, as a rule, a moral obligation and that, therefore, it must be voluntary."2 Following this principle we condemn the coercive measures used to force people to violate their conscience and we support religious exemptions.
In order to inform your conscience we recommend that all study the “Moral Reflections on Vaccines derived from Cells derived from Aborted Human Fetuses” by the Pontifical Academy for Life.3 After studying these principles we ask that you carefully consider the therapeutic proportionality and risk of the vaccine and, if needed, consult a doctor and a priest whom you trust. We assure all of our faithful that we will continue to do that which is essential to our mission by defending the Faith against the ever increasing assaults of the devil and by providing the Mass of all Times and the Sacraments in these very challenging circumstances.
