Modernists are neo-gnostics. They actually think that their own identity is solely in their soul or in their body. And they do not believe there is a Being who is named by the word "God". So for them a mRNA vaccine is a shot of elation reaffirming their errors & their pride

But for Christians, and in particular Catholics, we believe that God created our first father, Adam, from the mud of the earth, that is, created his soul ex nihilo and his body from lesser things. Evolution is a heresy and philosophical error, unproven scientific hypothesis.

And we believe that God created Adam according to the image and similitude of Himself, which is found in both man's immortal rational soul and is flesh

Adam sinned and thus deprived all his posterity of the grace of God from the first instant of their conceptions. This deprivation causes our mortality, which is unnatural. Our soul is a spirit intent on expressing itself with a body. The human body is a divine creation.

God creates every soul ex nihilo at conception, but we at conception receive a body through our descend from Adam. Thus to alter the genetic inheritance of any individual child of Adam by artificial means is a horrible crime, sin and act of rebellion against the Creator.

Now to remedy the sin of mankind, God the Father sent His Only Begotten that being born of our flesh through the Virgin Mary He might upon the Cross merit its redemption. He calls Himself the Son of Man to emphasize this. In Hebrew this = Son of Adam.

Thus, as all the Greek Fathers of the Church teach, we can be saved in Christ because we share the name nature of Christ, the same flesh. Hence if someone alters his own nature by artificial means, he cannot be saved.

So true is this that all the Fathers of the Church teach that self mutilation -- cutting off parts of your body for whim -- and receiving a tatoo -- are mortal sins, that is they merit eternal damnation. How much more then to do this to your own DNA or RNA?

Therefore, any Christian who believes he can take a mRNA willingly or permit himself to be so injected, is clearly departing from the received tradition in dogma and doctrine which concerns humanity, redemption, and creation.

Here, we add as way of footnote, that there are some typos in the above discourse, and that mRNA used to repair genetic error, that is to restore the correct human genetic makeup lost through some disfunction in replication, is not an artificial change but a good medical therapy.

The sin of mutilation includes not only those who cut off their own members at whim but also those who scar themselves for pleasure. It does not include circumcision or cutting off a part to save the whole on account of disease or attack, or tragedy.

It is good, because it show obsequiousness to the Creator's Wisdom expressed in the correct sequence, and restores it to the image and likeness in which He made our first parents Adam and Eve.
