Good, that article was published in December 2020. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops must not have received the memo yet.

Archbishop of New Orleans has said no takee.

Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

@Jolly do you know of other Christian denominations/churches that take the same position as the Archbishop of New Orleans about not taking the J&J vaccine?

Nope, but the Archbishop did not make that decision in a vacuum. That decision was vetted before a Catholic ethics committee before his pronouncement.

Calling yourself pro-life and then instructing people to risk theirs is a bit much.
Still, all the more for the rest of us.
I was only joking

I have no clue how you get in a non J and J line. There is no such thing as choosing your flavor at this time.

Stop and think...If aborted fetal cell lines were used to concoct the J&J vaccine (they were, but the lines are several years old) and you feel very strongly that abortion = murder (and some people do), it is not an illogical stance.

What I object to is him telling other people what to do. He's telling them to take the risk. He can do what he likes with his own risk.

(Disclaimer: I don't necessarily agree with the objection to the J&J vaccine on moral grounds, at all.)
However, consider this line of thought.
- There exists a potential for saving the lives of many people.
- That potential exists because you murder someone.
- Is is morally acceptable to kill that person to save others' lives?
- If the other person had been killed by an immoral act, is it acceptable to use his death to your advantage?
- Which way should the trolley go?

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

The abortion's already happened. It would have happened whether or not Covid occurred. Nobody's being killed to develop vaccines. Also, whether you have the shot or not doesn't make the slightest difference at this point.
Was it wrong to use Nazi rocket science to put a man on the moon? The knowledge was there, whether or not America used it. If they hadn't, the Soviets would have done. Whether or not Apollo 11 was developed, von-Braun's slaves were already dead.
In other words, the bad thing's already happened. Whether you choose for something positive come out of it won't reverse it.

Good point. Supposedly these cells are at least a decade old.
Is it immoral to take advantage of a "crime" that occurred before the question arose?
As I said, I'm not agreeing with the thinking, just trying to flesh out the arguments against, as well as pro.
-
If there were no other alternatives to this particular vaccine, would this Bishop still tell people not to take it?
Millions could die needlessly in that situation.
It's very hard to describe that position as being 'pro-life'.
