“It’s an aborted fetal cell line, a part of the body belonging to a child which was robbed from him by murder. It is still part of his remains...it‘s his DNA, it’s his cell line, hence it must be buried. That’s the only way to fulfill justice …👇
“ ... the temporal distance [the number of years since the abortion] has no bearing...you’re using it NOW. It’s an ongoing theft in relationship to this kid ...👇
“It still belongs to him [the aborted fetus]. It's his DNA. You stole it from him. This is how you got it & the fact that you've replicated it doesn't change the quality of the thing. That new cell which came from him, which ultimately belongs to him, still carries that quality."
Note: they are in the process of developing and testing vaccines that do not use the DNA/cell lines from aborted fetuses. All of the above is addressing only those that do.

Abortion-connected vaccines do not suddenly become moral simply because some bishops oversimplify the Moral Theology down to “remote material cooperation“. And anyone describing those who see the immorality as “irresponsible”, in “dissent”, schismatic, or disobedient has no case.
Bp. Athanasius Schneider sees the immorality. Bp. Strickland sees it. No one is in any position to call them irresponsible, schismatic, or disobedient. And Fr. Ripperger has made clear why this cannot be passed off as mere “remote material cooperation“:
True Moral Theology states it violates the Principle of the Integral Good (in reference to Quid & the quality of the object of the exterior act, as well as Quibus Auxiliis). So, claiming it’s merely an issue of “remote material cooperation“ is insufficient. It’s too superficial.
There’s another intern leaning against that doorway, looking in. I ask him what’s going on. He says, “21-year-old kid. Motorcycle accident. Brain-dead. They’re harvesting his organs.” . . .
I look in and I see a surgeon standing over the kid’s open chest with a knife in his hand. I look at the heart monitor: normal rate and rhythm. I look at the oxygen saturation from the respirator: normal. . . .
