It is morally evil that the cells of aborted children are used in the production of vaccines. It is unfortunate that all publicly available vaccines for COVID-19 have some connection to abortion-derived cell lines. The vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna are not produced using materials connected to abortion-derived cell lines, although they did make use of them in ancillary testing. The vaccine from Johnson and Johnson is produced using material connected to abortion-derived cell lines, and thus it is more morally problematic than the alternatives. When given the choice, a Catholic that makes an informed decision to be inoculated should choose from vaccines with the least connection to abortion.

Diocese of Lake Charles

A lot has happened in the Diocese of Lake Charles since Hurricane Laura made landfall six months ago.

The Board of Pastors recommends that Saint Louis Catholic High School be rebuilt contingent on funding.  If requisite funding is not available, the Board of Pastors will not encumber their parishes financially.  The Board of Pastors also recommends that Saint Louis Catholic High School relocates based upon the aforementioned conditions.  The Bishop accepts both recommendations.

Always conscious of a prevailing sense of gratitude to Almighty God, I wish to thank all of you who have offered your prayers for my recovery from COVID and reached out with generous assistance.

My dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

LAKE CHARLES — Based on the analysis of data collection results of the 2019/2020 Charter audit period of the Diocese of Lake Charles, the diocese has been found to be in compliance with the requirements for the Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People, approved by the U.S. bishops in 2002.
