RE: How many Christians are wrong about COVID. Op-ed by Daniel Kralt, whose young son is suffering from cancer, and Mr. Kralt is understandably bitter about it. The Hamilton Spectator 15 Dec 21.
The daily arrogance-slash-ignorance award has to go to Daniel Kralt for his vain effort to tell conservative Christians what they ought to believe, and why they are hypocrites for not acting as Kralt thinks they ought.
The key point that Kralt completely missed is that the vaccines were tested against cells from an aborted fetus during their development. For many Christians, this association with abortion is a show-stopper. They do not wish to be injected with a vaccine developed by immoral means. The hierarchy of the Catholic Church thinks vaccination is morally permissible, and that’s okay. Not every Christian, indeed not every Catholic, has to agree.
As for Kralt’s exegesis of alleged Christian morality, he mistakes modernism for the real deal, particularly the part about his being able to read Jesus’s mind. His appeal is all about obeying Caesar, and never mind your conscience.
Kralt is completely at sea when it comes to
“the science.” Masking, lockdowns, and
capacity limits have failed to control the ebb and flow of the pandemic. Even the vaccines aren’t what they were cracked
up to be. Caesar hasn’t got this
one. Obeisance in for form of mask
wearing and getting vaccinated is not a sign of Christianity.
