Once again, @SSPXEN bases its entire analysis on a flawed & deceptive premise. Given the fact that it removed the original article, polished it with better theology, less snark, & then came to the same absurd result, one can only conclude that it is intentional at this point.

I'll address the flawed premise last. First, some expose.

Fr. Sélégny begins with an adequate description of traditional types of vaccines, including those using aborted baby cells, & then a horribly inadequate description of RNA vaccines. Sélégny just assumes they're good for you, bc he apparently "trusts the science."

Next, Sélégny takes a jab at those who have exposed the FACT that some of these RNA vaccines are developed using "fresh" "live" aborted fetal tissue, which is then injected into mice "humanizing" them, and then using those cells to prepare the vaccine. Unbelievably, he calls this question "outside this question of the licitude!" WHAT? He then goes on to call those who are raising the issue "vain."

Vain, Sélégny? I've got some names for you as well, sir. A great deal of them.

Last & most importantly, Sélégny's entire analysis is based on two horribly & INTENTIONALLY flawed premises: 1) he ignores the fact that moral theology weighs material cooperation against the relative evil being cooperated with, 2) he assumes deceptively that a vaccine is necessary.

This is basic stuff, but Sélégny wants to ignore the fact that abortion is intrinsically evil and one of the greatest evils man has devised. He ignores this crucial fact because it destroys his entire argument, to wit:

For one to "materially" cooperate in *this* particular evil, there must be a VERY grave reason to do so. In other words, Sélégny takes the notion that, theoretically it is possible to cooperate with this evil in an EXTREME circumstance, omits the analysis required to explain the requisite proportionally grave circumstances that would be required & wants you to believe that being unable to fly because you're not vaccinated satisfies this essential requirement. That is some devious evil Sélégny. Your soul is at risk for that deception.

Finally, Sélégny completely omits the most obvious point, because it too would destroy his deception: this "Covid" has a greater than 99% survival rate. Indeed, the Vaccine itself is unlikely to have such a survival rate ...

In other words, this man wants you to believe that you can materially cooperate in intrinsic evil to avoid something that is unlikely to kill, by taking something that is statistically more likely to kill you. Sélégny is anathema, as is everyone who cooperated with this.

There is a reason "the fearful" are amongst the damned. Once again,
