Feser (1): “Among the many reasons why capital punishment ought to be preserved, the *most fundamental* one is that for extremely heinous crimes, *no lesser punishment could possibly respect this Catholic principle that a punishment ought to be proportional to the offense*.”👇 Image Feser (2): “Put another way, to sentence killers like those described above to less than death would fail to do justice because the penalty – presumably a long period in prison – would be grossly disproportionate to the heinousness of the crime.”👇

St. Thomas Aquinas calls this very virtue Eutrapelia:

“Augustine says (Music. ii, 15): ‘I pray thee, spare thyself at times: for it becomes a wise man sometimes to relax the high pressure of his attention to work.’ Now this relaxation of the mind from work consists in 👇 “...playful words or deeds. Therefore it becomes a wise and virtuous man to have recourse to such things at times. Moreover the Philosopher [Ethic. ii, 7; iv, 8] assigns to games the virtue of eutrapelia.

Now just as weariness of the body is dispelled by resting the body, so👇

“I am Catholic, but I think majority opinion is what matters” means nothing other than “I don’t understand Catholicism.” “The official teachings of the Catholic Church oppose all forms of abortion.”

“Since the 1st century, the Church has affirmed that every procured abortion is a moral evil, a teaching the Catechism of the Catholic Church declares ‘has not changed and remains unchangeable.’”👇

This (literal) heresy she’s espousing in that thread concerns the famous “Fundamental Option”. It perverts Augustine & was formally condemned by Pope Paul VI (who was no Trad): “Mortal sin does not consist only in resistance to the commandment of charity. It is equally found in👇 “...this opposition to authentic love which is included in *every deliberate transgression of each of the moral laws*.” Augustine’s statement “Love & do what you will” does NOT mean “I love God (subjectively defined) so I can do whatever I want (& it won’t be a sin).” It means👇

.@FrMatthewLC’s Never-Ending Lies—as a thread:

@FrMatthewLC’s Never-Ending Lies (50): “Someone said recently that Fr. Matthew is never going to change. No one should expect him to. He’s already demonstrated repeatedly that:

•He doesn’t understand our moral premise against the vaccines.
•He doesn’t understand how clinics operate.

Decree of Pope Francis Confirming the Use of the 1962 Liturgical Books [for the FSSP]

“The Pope made it clear that institutes such as the FSSP are not affected by the general provisions of the Motu Proprio Traditionis Custodes, since the use of the ancient liturgical books was at the origin of their existence and is provided for in their constitutions.”👇 “...The Pope subsequently sent a decree signed by him and dated February 11, confirming for the members of the Fraternity the right to use the liturgical books in force in 1962, namely: the Missal, the Ritual, the Pontifical and the Roman Breviary.”

@jcremer @Chris_SmithsJ THAT’S his source??? It specifically states that the purpose of the article is as follows: “The target of this essay is to trace the evolution of this enigmatic scene [as in ARTWORK] in Italy.” @jcremer @Chris_SmithsJ It even quotes Celano WHO HE CLAIMS HE’S READ: “She commands them to lead her, sick as she is, to the enemy, preceded by a *silver and ivory case in which the body of Christ is kept*.”

During WWII, a Jewish man fled Austria to France & took shelter in Lourdes for 5 weeks. Moved by the hospitality shown to him, he promised St. Bernadette & Our Lady that if he made it to America he’d write a book about their story. He did, & the book is The Song of Bernadette.👇 The book was subsequently made into an Academy award-winning film.

Today in the pre-55 calendar is St. Bernadette’s feast day.

On his blog, @FrMatthewLC has admitted he didn’t use the FDA’s Medical Testing definition, nor that of a medical dictionary, but rather HIS OWN “broad sense” 🙄 definition to deliberately include what is BY DEFINITION not Medical Testing. This thread refutes the rest of his post: .@FrMatthewLC’s new lies (1): “[Casey] uses non-standard definitions of terms like medical testing & lying, & insists they are the only ones.”

It’s the *FDA’s* Medical Testing definition—confirmed by the professional Medical Tester.

And “lying” was never used—much less defined.

Reminder: vaccine Religious Exemptions are RELIGIOUS, not “conscience” 1) because our premise is based on Traditional Catholic teaching & 2) JP2’s Donum veritatis, which gives us this right, FORBIDS conscience appeals. Ignore anyone who says otherwise—they still don’t get it. Donum veritatis: “...because the [religious] arguments to the contrary seem more persuasive to him...[the theologian] cannot give his intellectual assent...[but] appealing to the obligation to follow one's own conscience cannot legitimate dissent.”

Dr. Janet Smith, Professor at Sacred Heart Major Seminary in Detroit:

“NONE of these [CDF vaccine] documents have the degree of magisterial authority to require assent; they are all low-level documents or non-magisterial statements that cannot impose obligations on Catholics.” Janet Smith (@avidkayaker50) is the author of “Why Humanae Vitae was Right” & “Humanae Vitae: A Generation Later”. Over a million copies of her recorded talk “Contraception, Why Not” have been distributed in the last twenty-five years.

“Has the discipline in the Church sunk so low that such a dubium [on blessing gay unions] could even be entertained by the CDF? How about a dubium on whether the Church has the power to bless ‘unions’ of couples living in adultery, or ‘unions’ of couples living out of wedlock?”👇 “The implicit premise is that ‘homosexual unions’ are entitled to a certain respect not accorded to adulterous/extramarital unions between male & female.

New: “But EVERYTHING was tested on HEK-293 so the vaccine must be ok.”

Aspirin: invented in 1897
Lidocaine: early 1940s
Benedryl: 1946
Tylenol: 1955
Ibuprofen: 1961

All were tested, determined to be safe, & put on the market years before HEK-293.👇 Therefore, any *subsequent* studies performed years later in academic exercises to, for example, further define the mechanism of action, etc. (which is obviously NOT “testing“ for safety or efficacy—that had already been done), have no bearing on the moral question since, 👇

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“:

“It’s an aborted fetal cell line, a part of the body belonging to a child which was robbed from him by murder.

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.
