Is it inmoral not to get vaccinated? Is it inmoral to get vaccinated? (Spanish) La difícil desición de vacunarse o no vacunarse.

Como católico consciente y reponsable, la desición de vacunarse puede ser complicado, pues la forma de obtener y elaborar las vacunas incluyen uso de material de órganos y tejidos de bebés creados y sacrificados par tal fin o abortados. 

Al vacunarnos... ¿Nos volvemos responsables de ésto? ¿Promovemos la muerte de más pequeños en aras de la salud mundial?

 Además la efectividad de las vacunas no ha sido comprobada y hasta se ha llegado a considerar la necesidad de aplicar refuerzos a los ya vacunados al empezar a recibir enfermos de COVID que ya estaban vacunados.

 ¿Estamos obligados a vacunarnos? Qué recomienda la Iglesia?

 También los efectos secundarios de la vacuna ya empiezan a clarificar que la aplicación de la vacuna no es inocua. Y por otra parte no está comprobado que el estar vacunado garantice que la persona no transmita el virus (1)... Entonces..

¿ Es inmoral no vacunarse? ¿Va contra nuestra convicción espiritual de apoyar el bien de todos? Como dice el Papa: el vacunarse es una acto de amor.

Este video realizado por Verónica Brunkow,  joven consagrada,  es muy claro y explica muchos factores importantes dentro de este complejo problema de la emergencia sanitaria y apoyo a la comunidad y de la necesidad de la protección personal. 

Es una desición personal y voluntaria que cada católico debe tomar según sus propias circunstancias. La Iglesia solo puede iluminar el camino para tomar cada uno su desición a los ojos de Dios.

También incluimos el documento original de la Santa Sede sobre sus recomendaciones, y en el que urge a la comunidad médica y farmacéutica a buscar opciones más éticas de vacunas y garantizar el acceso libre a las vacunas para todos:

Pronunciamiento del Vaticano

Además agregamos una página que monitorea los avances en nuevas vacunas y en los métodos de las ya existentes , para saber cuáles son elaboradas de forma ética:

seguimiento de nivel ético de nuevas vacunas 

y otras reflexiones sobre el tema:

(1) vacunados no dejan de ser transmisores.

SAINT ELIZABETH, MOTHER OF JOHN THE BAPTIST- Feast: November 5

Elizabeth appears in the Gospel of Luke, where she is described as “righteous in the eyes of God, observing all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blamelessly,”.  I imagine that she was warm, loving and obviously a safe harbour for young Mary, who was not married when she conceived.  When Mary came to visit her, Elizabeth was pregnant with St. John the Baptist and in her sixth month: “Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. And how have I deserved that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For behold, the moment that the sound of thy greeting came to my ears, the babe in my womb leapt for joy. And blessed is she who has believed, because the things promised her by the Lord shall be accomplished.”

The Memorare

By Helen Gonsalves -

This popular prayer, a favorite of many Catholics, dates back to the 15th century and takes its name from the first Latin word of the prayer, "memorare," which means "remember." The Memorare is of unknown authorship, although it has been attributed to St. Augustine (354-430), St. John Chrysostom (c. 347-407) and, with more reason, to St. Bernard of Clairvaux (c. 1090-1153). St. Bernard's sermons on Mary were famous, and it was his Cistercian monks in the monastery of Citeaux in the 12th century who popularized the name "Our Lady" for Mary. The Memorare has also been attributed to the French cleric Claude Bernard (1588-1641), known as the "poor priest" of Paris, whose homilies contain passages that echo its words. No matter who wrote this prayer, it was Father Bernard who did much to popularize it, teaching it in hospitals and prisons, where Mary's intercession was effective in working miracles of grace. The first manuscript of the Mem...

'Greater Love: Richie Fernando SJ', a joy-filled Filipino missionary

 I haven't been able to post for more than a week as I was giving an eight-day directed retreat to eight sisters of the Missionaries of Charity near Manila. While I had some access to the internet it was rather slow. I had intended to make a post here on the murder of Fr Fausto Tentorio PIME , a 59-year-old Italian priest, in the Diocese of Kidapawan, Mindanao, on Monday 17 October. I will save that post for a later date. As I was looking for a video about Father Fausto I came across one about Brother Richard Michael 'Richie' Fernando SJ, a Filipino Jesuit scholastic who died while trying to prevent a troubled and disabled young man in Cambodia from throwing a grenade. That was in 1996 - on 17 October. Father Fausto gave his life exactly 15 years later. I remember the mixture of sorrow and pride I felt when I read of the death of Brother Richie, pride as a missionary in the Philippines that a young Filipino seminarian had given his life so spontaneously in order to sav...
