HELP RESTORE RELIGIOUS FREEDOM
It was my honor to invite Father Michael Copenhagen to speak at VIE in DC.  I reached out to him after reading "Restore Ye to Its Owners: On the Immorality of Receiving Vaccines Derived from Abortion " on the Children of God for Life website.  He graciously accepted the invitation and then delivered this amazing speech!!  Please forward widely.  (PS- Rabbi Morse and Minister Rusin's speeches will also be posted on the First Freedoms website.)

Fr. Michael Copenhagen
Vaccine Injury Event
National Mall, Washington DC
November 14, 2019

Qui tacet consentire videtur, ubi loqui debuit ac potuit.

Who is silent is seen to consent, where he can and must speak.  

In my home state (New York) and others, many Catholic families of conscience are now forced to homeschool—while that is still tolerated—or to become refugees to states that still permit the free exercise of religion. There are many here who make compelling scientific and personal cases. I am here to make a religious and moral case for Catholics and for all to hear.

Most people are misinformed about actual Church teaching on the issue of immorally produced fetal cell lines and the stolen human DNA present in many mandated vaccines.  The result is that Catholics are unrepresented in a moral fight that is ours by right and by duty. Everywhere I see faithful Catholics numbingly going against the instincts of conscience because they are convinced that the Church has given an unconditional green light to the use these cell lines.

Let’s set the record straight: the closest thing we have to actual public teaching is an officially endorsed ethical reflection from 2005.  Almost always, when the document is brought up, it is cherry-picked for the paragraph which says these vaccines can be used where no ethically produced alternative exists.   The most crucial qualifiers are then unseen by families, schools, and those in public debate...So let’s look at what the document actually says and what is going unheard.

1--It is impossible to be a practicing Catholic who is right with God while directly and willingly involved in the creation, production, or marketing of these vaccines, the same holds for public officials who impose them.

2--The use of these products must be ONLY as an "extrema ratio", an extreme means or last resort, where there is a genuine need, an actual emergency...which means that if my well-informed prudential judgement says there is no imminent risk, as a Catholic I should refuse the vaccine. Where is the emergency?  Is there really a perpetual health crisis everywhere which justifies their imposition everywhere? Is it really necessary to sacrifice one human life to save another.

3--The use of these vaccines can only be temporary ...as  a Catholic I can’t cooperate with their indefinite use or treat them as a fixed solution.

4--It says that those in the Church must be publicly and vociferously opposed to the creation and imposition of these products…

5--It even says that we must reasonably resort to conscientious objection by refusing them…

Quote: “There remains a moral duty to continue to fight and to employ every lawful means in order to make life difficult for the pharmaceutical industries which act unscrupulously and unethically.”

6--And there is still no word on an aspect of the issue which some Catholic ethicists have raised, that the use of these lines is a form of theft and desecration of human remains which must not be used at all, but respectfully reposed instead of endlessly exploited.

--Does the above sound anything like the wholesale cooperation that it is being twisted into? 
--Does that sound anything like: "Just go along with evil, get your shot and shut up" or "don’t show your face in public"?

Yet that’s what so many Catholics are being told to do.

In the end, the decision about whether we participate in evil is not made in the courtroom, not in the legislative chamber, not in a governor’s executive office, not in a corporate boardroom; the decision is made in conscience, in free will, and in the willingness to sacrifice.  Whether or not we are given permission by secular powers to do what is right, is not the final word because there is a higher law, and Faith tells me that I am accountable to that highest Lawgiver.

And so to everyone I say: It is not good, it is not right, it is not conscionable to participate in so clear an evil...not for the empty promise of a scientific utopia; especially not for the dystopia we see emerging all around us.

To my fellow Catholics I say: the one who is silent gives consent: wake up and fight for the truth. Stop rolling over and fight for moral medical practices across the board. If you don’t put what is right before what is convenient, if you don’t refuse to compromise with evil, you are going to wake up in a nightmare where a gruesome medical dictatorship is the only religion allowed.  If you think I’m exaggerating then read the things now being suggested in the professional journals, listen to the real life stories, look at other countries.

And to the governors, judges, and all the public figures who share the name Catholic while undermining everything that your Church stands for: stop persecuting the Church into which you were baptized, stop persecuting Jesus Christ in his people, remember that there is a judgement higher than the courts and the legislatures, or any circle of cocktail-party sycophants...there is an impartial judge who cannot be bought, who does not measure the world in dollars and power and praise, but in good and evil, right and wrong, and in a truth which does not pass away.

Glory be to the holy, consubstantial, life-giving, and undivided Trinity now and always and forever and ever. Amen.
