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.

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

The Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary

This is the image most often associated with the writings of the Belgian mystic Berthe Petit. She promoted devotion to the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart of Mary. During my preparation for the retreat I am giving at the end of the month in Pantasaph, North Wales, I began reading a book by the late John Haffert (once the lay leader of the Blue Army of Fatima). His theory in the book, which speaks of God's "last effort" to convert the world before the coming chastisement, is that we are now living in the third or fourth "day" of the Fatima week. At this time, according to Haffert, we should be promoting devotion to The Immaculate Heart of Mary. I also consulted another book by Dr. Courtnay Bartholomew (whom I have been privileged to meet) which also speaks of the importance of this devotion, linking it with the writings and visions of the mystic Berthe Petit, and the importance of the full title of the Sorrowful and Immaculate Heart. These things will feature in

Why Modesty Is Not Subjective

Hi there, ya'll!  The modest fashion world is one very diverse place.  Even among Catholics, the definition of "modest apparel" can vary greatly from person to person.  Recently I joined a Facebook group that advertised itself as a haven for Catholic women of all ages to share ideas for modest style and makeup and was hoping to learn more about modesty from my fellow Catholic sisters.  After a few days of being a member, though, I sadly left the group feeling a bit discouraged.  No two members seemed to agree on ANY aspect of modesty whatsoever, and the prevailing theme of the whole group was that modesty is subjective, it means something different for each woman and each woman gets to decide what she considers is "modest".  One woman very emphatically declared that she wears bikinis every summer to the beach and doesn't feel that this violates the virtue of modesty in the least.  The same woman also announced that she was never going to caution her d
