"No Conscience" +Listecki?

Rumor has it that +Listecki is a tool of the State.

More than a little disappointing; for a while there, he looked like a Catholic Bishop.

Both he and Cdl "Ho Ho Ho" Dolan ignore declarations of serious Catholic scientists and MD's.

...the Catholic Medical Association said in a July 28 statement that all who responded “voiced moral/ethical objection to the use of aborted fetal cell lines in development, testing and/or production of all three currently available vaccines.

“As an organization, CMA opposes mandatory COVID-19 vaccinations as a condition of employment without conscience or religious exemptions,” the association said. “An individual Catholic’s decision to be vaccinated should be informed by the clear and authoritative moral teaching of the church on vaccinations.”

When it comes to health care organizations, “historically, a vaccinated workforce has been an effective means of fostering” a safe environment for its patients, CMA acknowledged.

“While we recognize the importance of this consideration medically and ethically,” it said, “the church’s teaching is clear, that ‘as a rule’ vaccination ‘must be voluntary’ and based on an individual’s personal assessment in good conscience of the medical risks/benefits and morality of a particular vaccine. This is imperative.”

The National Catholic Bioethics Center, in a July 2 statement, said it “does not endorse mandated COVID-19 immunization with any of the three vaccines” which received emergency use authorization July 1 from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Both the NCBC and the CMA quoted from the Vatican Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith’s Dec. 21, 2020, statement, “Note on the Morality of Using Some Anti-COVID-19 Vaccines.”

The NCBC quoted the Vatican statement, in part: “Those who, however, for reasons of conscience, refuse vaccines produced with cell lines from aborted fetuses, must do their utmost to avoid, by other prophylactic means and appropriate behavior, becoming vehicles for the transmission of the infectious agent.”...

In other words, Listecki and Dolan mis-quote the Vatican's declaration which OBVIOUSLY allows for a conscience objection by Catholics--but also requires non-vaxxed Catholics to avoid becoming 'vehicles for the transmission of the agent.'

Next:  Catholics WILL offer a pinch of incense to Joe Bai-Den?
