Dark To Light, Pay Attention Catholics

How does keeping religious freedom equate to requiring vaccinations? The Texas Catholic conference opposes the Texas Bill that would make vaccines a choice not a requirement. They state the COVID vaccine is not a requirement currently so this bill isn't necessary however, we all now this is coming.

The broader issue here is; do institutions and corporations have the same rights as human beings? We need to define and answer this before we can have a serious discourse on what can and will be imposed on humans.

Excerpt from statement by Lissette Allan (pic related) director of education at Texas Catholic Conference, who opposes individual freedoms:

In this respect, the Pontifical Academy for Life in 2005 and 2020 statements rejected the claim that Catholics have a moral duty to refuse certain vaccines on the grounds of conscience and Catholic teaching. For example, they encouraged Catholic parents to vaccinate their children against rubella and other serious diseases despite the illicit origin of the cell lines used in the manufacture of vaccines. They said this does not in any way imply that there is a moral endorsement of the use of cell lines proceeding from abortions because “the morality of vaccination depends not only on the duty to protect one’s own health, but also on the duty to pursue the common good,” especially the weakest and most exposed. The overbreadth of SB 1669 is that it would prevent private schools from requiring any vaccinations whatsoever. This would impinge upon the religious liberty of Catholic schools and could lead to serious health crises – on top of an ongoing pandemic. For the foregoing reasons, we respectively request you oppose SB 1669.
