“#OK to get virus vaccines using abortion cell lines<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

VATICAN CITY \u2014 The Vatican on Monday declared that it is \u201cmorally acceptable\u201d for Roman Catholics to receive COVID-19 vaccines based on research that used cells derived from aborted fetuses, guidance that came after some churchmen in the United States argued that such products were immoral.<\/p>\n

The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, the Vatican\u2019s watchdog office for doctrinal orthodoxy, said it had received several requests for \u201cguidance\u201d during recent months. The doctrinal office pointed out that bishops, Catholic groups and experts have offered \u201cdiverse and sometimes conflicting pronouncements\u201d on the matter.<\/p>\n

Drawing on Vatican pronouncements in past years about developing vaccines prepared from cells derived from aborted fetuses, the watchdog office\u2019s statement was examined by Pope Francis, who ordered it to be made public.<\/p>\n

The Catholic Church\u2019s teaching says that abortion is a grave sin.<\/p>\n

The Vatican concluded that \u201cit is morally acceptable to receive COVID-19 vaccines that have used cell lines from aborted fetuses\u201d in the research and production process when \u201cethically irreproachable\u201d vaccines aren\u2019t available to the public. But it stressed that the \u201clicit\u201d uses of such vaccines \u201cdoes not and should not in any way imply that there is a moral endorsement of the use of cell lines proceeding from aborted fetuses.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Vatican didn\u2019t name any of the COVID-19 vaccines already being given to people in some countries or authorized to be used soon.<\/p>\n

In its statement, the Vatican explained that obtaining vaccines that do not pose an ethical dilemma is not always possible. It cited circumstances in countries \u201cwhere vaccines without ethical problems are not made available to physicians and patients\u201d or where special storage or transport conditions make their distribution more difficult.<\/p>\n

Much of the Vatican\u2019s pronouncement had echoes in a statement last week by officials of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. The U.S. conference officials said that \u201cin view of the gravity of the current pandemic and the lack of availability of alternative vaccines,\u201d receiving the vaccines being distributed in the United States is justified \u201cdespite their remote connection to morally compromised cell lines.\u201d<\/p>\n

Getting vaccinated against the coronavirus \u201cought to be understood as an act of charity toward the other members of our community,\u201d the U.S. bishops conference officials said.<\/p>\n

Weeks earlier, two U.S. bishops, one in Texas and one in California, had denounced vaccines using cell lines from the tissue of aborted fetuses as immorally produced. One of the bishops said he refused to receive such a vaccine and encouraged rank-and-file Catholics to follow his lead.<\/p>\n

The Vatican, in reassuring faithful Catholics that getting a COVID-19 vaccine would not violate the church\u2019s moral teaching, noted that \u201chealth authorities do not allow citizens to choose the vaccine with which to be inoculated.\u201d Given such circumstances, it is morally acceptable to receive vaccines that have used cell lines from aborted fetuses, the Vatican said.<\/p>\n

The Vatican said the COVID-19 vaccines that are getting rolled out or are expected to be soon used cell lines \u201cdrawn from tissue obtained from two abortions that occurred in the last century.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Vatican hasn\u2019t said if and when Francis would be vaccinated against the coronavirus. The 84-year-old pontiff has a pilgrimage to Iraq planned for early March, and it\u2019s widely expected that he and the aides accompanying him would get vaccinated ahead of travel<\/a> abroad.<\/p>\n

The Roman Catholic church\u2019s doctrinal orthodoxy office said \u201cvaccination is not, as a rule, a moral obligation\u201d and must be voluntary. Still, it said, from an ethical point of view, \u201cthe morality of vaccination depends not only on the duty to protect one\u2019s own health but also on the duty to pursue the common good.\u201d<\/p>\n

Those for reasons of conscience<\/a> opting not to receive vaccinations produced by cell lines from aborted fetuses, \u201cmust do their utmost to avoid,\u201d by app<\/a>ropriate behavior and preventive means, becoming \u201cvehicles\u201d for transmission, the congregation said.<\/p>\n

In any case, there is also a \u201cmoral imperative\u201d for the pharmaceutical industry, governments and international organizations to ensure that safe, effective and \u201cethically acceptable\u201d vaccines are accessible to the poorest countries and not too costly for them, the Vatican\u2019s doctrinal office said.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
