A link to your excellent piece some time ago regarding the Church position on the vaccines, and drawing distinctions between the J&J vaccine and the other options, would be helpful. The piece left me with the pretty firm conclusion that refusing the J&J vaccine was eminently reasonable from a moral standpoint, while refusing any vaccine and hiding behind the Church was as dubious as the logic of a Vigano letter on the topic.
This topic is just about illogical as it gets. The Pope has made it very clear that for sake of Charity and the Love of your neighbor getting the vaccine rises to amoral imperative. If the J& J vaccine is the only choice then you get it. If not go with the others. It seems to me this is nit picking for spite and in today’s environment wedonot need it.
Well, I've now seen some very negative reviews of The Pillar, e.g., National Catholic Reporter and Religion News Service. The negative reviews tell me one thing: folks at The Pillar are doing a fine job. Please keep up the good work and shine light wherever the trail leads. Oh, and let me say "thank you" for doing what you do. Viva Cristo Rey!
In the piece on St. Lawrence, the adverb "famously" is used yet once more redundantly. If a remark is really famous, you don't need to say so. And if it is not, then saying so will not make it famous.
It appears to be an attempt to let the reader in on some cool, inside information. That is, "you, reader, probably don't know this quotation is famous, but I am here to tell you that it is. Now YOU know, too. Now, you're one of us, the "in" crowd." Writers and would-be writers everywhere, just stop it. It's annoying.
