The Popes want to be all things to all people, and wind up being nothing... too bad they lost their way.

Pope Francis (2013– )

Vaccination as a moral responsibility “Vaccination is a simple but profound way of promoting the common good and caring for each other, especially the most vulnerable.”

Vaccines as an act of love “Getting vaccinated is a simple act of love. And helping to ensure the majority of people are vaccinated is an act of love — love for oneself, love for our families and friends, love for all peoples.”

Moral duty to protect others “Thanks to God’s grace and to the work of many, we now have vaccines to protect us from COVID-19. They bring hope of ending the pandemic, but only if they are available to all and if we collaborate with one another.”

Pope John Paul II (1978–2005)

Vaccination and public health “The Church encourages medical research and preventive medicine, including vaccination, when it is at the service of life and the common good.”

Moral cooperation and vaccines “The duty to avoid passive material cooperation is not obligatory if there is grave inconvenience.”

Pope Benedict XVI (2005–2013)

Ethical use of vaccines “When the supply of ethically irreproachable vaccines is insufficient, it is acceptable to use vaccines that have used cell lines from aborted fetuses in their research and production.”

Pope Pius XII (1939–1958)

Vaccination and moral permissibility “Normally one is held to take ordinary means of preserving life… vaccination may be considered such an ordinary means when proportionate.”

Authority and public health “The State may impose obligations when required for the protection of public health.”
