Cardinal Collins: You say it is "common sense" and an "act of charity" to submit to experimental gene therapies but what does the Winnipeg Statement say about "conscience?"

As reported yesterday, one below, Thomas Cardinal Collins, Archbishop of Toronto, declared on Sunday from the Cathedra that if one does not submit themselves to taking the so-called "vaccine" against SARS-CoV-2 then one lacks "common sense" and is acting against "charity". As Shepherd of the Church in the Archdiocese of Toronto and Metropolitan for much of Ontario, Thomas Collins owes it to the faithful to explain himself. On what basis does this man dare to make a determination from the Chair that it is "common sense" to take what is an experimental therapy that is not a traditional vaccine and has moral implications due to the testing on or actual containment of fetal stem cells from aborted children. 

Cardinal Collins on being told of another post by Vox Cantoris

Collins is manipulating the thoughts and fears of many Catholics with his assertion that "we need to vaccinate the population." We do, Eminence? and who is the "we" that you speak of? Is this the price to open churches to a paltry fifteen-percent of total building occupancy? 

"Wise and sensible," says His Eminence. “It’s not a magic bullet, nothing is – but it’s one of the most sensible ways in which we can get beyond this pandemic and move on to serve the Lord day by day in ways that will put this behind us," says our resident episcopal expert on medical therapies.

The British government itself has compiled adverse reactions and deaths from the "vaccines." What does Cardinal Collins think of his common sense advice.

But what does the Cardinal think or say about the matter of conscience?

In 1968, the Canadian bishops, (and this still stands, it has never been retracted), made some interesting statements about conscience. Shall we have a look at one?

26. Counsellors may meet others who, accepting the teaching of the Holy Father, find that because of particular circumstances they are involved in what seems to them a clear conflict of duties, e.g., the reconciling conjugal love and responsible parenthood with the education of children already born or with the health of the mother. I accord with the accepted principles of moral theology, if these persons have tried sincerely but without success to pursue a line of conduct in keeping with the given directives, they may be safely assured that, whoever honestly chooses that course which seems right to him does so in good conscience.

"Whoever honestly chooses that course which seems right to him does so in good conscience." Well then, Your Eminence, please explain to this simple uneducated man who has no fancy paper to hang on his wall how it is okay to use my "conscience" to contracept, even if that contraception might also be an abortifacient and when that same conscience prevents me from taking a "vaccine" that I do not wish, for whatever reason my well-formed and supreme conscience, informs me, I am "uncharitable" and acting without "common sense."

What is sin, Your Eminence?

According to paragraph 849 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church:

"Sin is an offence against reason, truth, and right conscience." 

There we have it, "right conscience." 

Collins dares to call it "common sense." His Eminence makes bold to say that "we need to vaccinate the population" and has the actual temerity to presumptively declare those who refuse are "uncharitable,'" even if those very same people are making a decision in full accord with the Catechism of the Catholic Church and in "right conscience."

How many people will take Cardinal Collins's advice and admonition and take the gene therapy because of his urging and will suffer negative consequences or even death from it? Will Collins take the responsibility for this?

These lawsuits will be part of his legacy and if you think this is bad, wait until January when we get Canada's version of Blaise Cupich.
