THE VAX-FREE: SAINTS, SINNERS OR SIMPLY SMART?

Are people whose conscience compels them to resist and refuse Crime Minister Stalinda Ardern's poisoned apple - the Jab concocted from the remains of murdered infants - saints or sinners? 

Maybe they're just brainy. More PhDs spurn the Pfizer vax than any other class, educationally speaking - and religiously speaking, PhDs aren't particularly noted for holding the higher ground. Back in October The Remnant was headlining "Unvaccinated Looking Smarter Week by Week", and much worse evidence of death and harm from the Jab has accumulated since then. 

A PhD would probably reject the argument that "the Church says we can morally accept the vaccine". They'd know that while Jorge Mario Bergoglio may claim to be Pope, but he's not the Church.

Unless he speaks 'ex cathedra' he's not infallible, and God has preserved us from any attempts by Bergoglio on infallibility. He has so utterly compromised himself in the field of Church dogma  that his opinion (that's all it is) on the vax is worthless. One would surely look to prelates like Cardinal Raymond Burke, Archbishop Carlo Maria Vigano and Bishop Athanasius Schneider, unerringly faithful to Church teaching which can never change, for guidance.

Who can forget that Bergoglio held +Burke up to international ridicule  when having refused the vax the latter was very seriously ill with Covid-19?  "In the College of Cardinals, there are a few deniers. One of them, the poor man, contracted the virus," the pontiff told reporters as he flew home from a trip to Slovakia.

One might reasonably conclude that God in His mercy allowed Cardinal Burke to catch Covid so that the entire orthodox Catholic world would be mobilised, as it was, in prayer for his recovery, in order to demonstrate the power of the Divine over the virus He permitted to be unleashed as a chastisement for sin. 

A group of Catholic prelates, scholars, activists, and journalists have initiated a petition appealing to the hierarchy of the Church, the lay faithful, and “all people of good will” to “vehemently oppose” the “abortion-tainted experimental injections for COVID-19,” along with mandates for their reception, calling the shots “morally illicit.”

“The Bethlehem Declaration” (Declaration), sponsored by Deacon Nick Donnelly of England, has been endorsed by Bishops Athanasius Schneider, Marian Eleganti, and Rene Henry Gracida, along with several priests and other scholars such as Drs. Peter Kwasniewski of the United States, Berthold Wald of Germany, and Caroline Farey of the United Kingdom.

Altogether, 48 individuals are listed as “Initial Signatories” of the petition, which argues that, according to the Church’s moral teaching, the conditions for reception of the abortion-derived injections, under ordinary circumstances, have not been met.

The Crucifixion
Peter Paul Rubens

The crux of the Catholic religion is the Cross. The very word, 'crux'. means a tree, frame, or other wooden instruments of execution, on which criminals were impaled or hanged.

"The cross allows one to distinguish the reprobates from the predestined. Just as on the day of judgment, the good will rejoice on seeing the cross, so even now it can be seen whether one will be saved or lost. If, as the cross presents itself to the soul, she embraces it, carries it with resignation and patience, kissing and thanking that hand which is sending it - here is the sign that she is saved." 

Speaking here with the Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta, Jesus Christ Himself instructs us on the salvific power of the cross. What cross more significant, and of more value, than refusing the vaccine in accordance with the teaching of Christ's Church is presented to us today? It has even more power to save if it means sacrificing your income, and more again if it means you and your family will be deprived of material goods. If we can embrace that cross and thank God for sending it, what assurance we have of our eternal salvation! 

If, on the contrary, as the cross is presented to her, she gets irritated, despises it, and even reaches the point of offending Me, you can say that is a sign that the soul is heading on the way to hell.  ...

The cross tells everything; the cross is a book that, without deception and in clear notes, tells you and allows you to distinguish the saint from the sinner, the perfect from the imperfect, the fervent from the lukewarm.

Our Lord is telling us here that if they have refused the Jab for love of Christ and His Cross, the latterday lepers are indeed distinguished from those who because they want to 'keep themselves safe', to keep their job, to travel, to enjoy movies, cafes and restaurants, have taken the vaccine - and may take it again, and again, and again. Maybe the vax-free aren't saints yet, but they're on the high road to heaven. 

The cross communicates such light to the soul that, even now, it allows one to distinguish not only the good from the evil, but also those who are to be more or less glorious in Heaven - those who are to occupy a higher or lower place" - The Book of Heaven, Servant of God Luisa Piccarreta.

The greater the suffering we endure for lack of the Jab - not for a legitimate fear of its harmful and sometimes lethal effect, but for love of Christ - the higher the degree of love we will have attained by the time we die, and our place in heaven will be fixed by it. 

It may be termed "white martyrdom". White martyrdom is typically defined as being persecuted for the faith, but never shedding any blood. It consists of living a life boldly for Christ, yet never being asked to die for it.

There's a bit more to it than just refusing the Jab. 

• We must accept that the Catholic Faith was established by Jesus Christ and can never change
  
  
• All Catholics must believe every dogma of the Catholic Church
  
  
  
• Membership in the Church is necessary for all men for salvation. Although God, in His infinite mercy, may save those who are non-Catholic, such men are saved in spite of their religion rather than by it
  
  
• All men will be judged upon their death and those who die in a state of sanctifying grace will go to Heaven (even if the spend time in Purgatory) and those who die in a state of mortal sin will go to Hell
  
  
• Sexual relations outside marriage (which is always between a man and a woman) are always offensive to God and mortally sinful
  '
• Reception of Holy Communion by those who are in a state of mortal sin is always offensive to God and itself mortally sinful
  
  
• As set forth by Pope St Pius V in Quo Primum, the Tridentine Mass can never be abrogated amd anyone pretending to do so should, in the words of that great saint, "know that he will incur the wrath of Almighty God and of the Blessed Apostles Peter and Paul."

• Every Catholic priest and bishop should be willing and able to publicly affirm a similar set of basic Catholic truths. If not, why not? If not now, when? - Grading Francis and Ourselves on the Good Samaritan Standard, Robert Morrison,  The Remnant, November 15.

As one reader of this blog says: "Faith or fear - you choose." Another points out that to take the Jab in full knowledge of its origins and its effects may be seriously sinful. And not to ascertain its origins and effects to the best of one's ability must also be sinful: we have a duty to protect the sanctity of life, whether our own or others'. https://juliadufresne.blogspot.com/2022/01/vax-free-ex-ashhurst-latin-massgoers.html

Who can tell the extent to which Bergoglio and the bishops will eventually bear the blame for so grievously misleading their flock? That's not for us to judge. we can't judge the sinner, because we can't know their motivation. But we must judge the sin, 

Given the ascendancy of Communism (in accord with Our Lady's prophecies at Fatima) and the agenda of the global elites working hand-in-glove with Bergoglio, who knows whether the white martyrs of today, through love of and obedience to their Lord and Master Jesus Christ, will become the red martyrs of tomorrow? But if we are loyal to Christ and His One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church - not the faux church of Bergoglio which is morphing into the One World Church - He will be loyal to us. 

Every one therefore that shall confess me before men, I will also confess him before my Father who is in heaven. But he that shall deny me before men, I will also deny him before my Father who is in heaven - Mt 10:32.
