Bishop Kevin C. Rhoades, the chairman of the U.S. Bishops’ Doctrine Committee, said Wednesday that Catholics should have no qualms of conscience in receiving the Johnson & Johnson coronavirus vaccine.
“We consider the use of these vaccines to be permissible because we consider what is called the Catholic theology ‘remote material cooperation.’ And that is morally allowed,” Bishop Rhoades said in a statement.
In a Wednesday news conference, Rhoades, the bishop of the Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend, clarified that the Church is not forbidding Catholics or anyone else from taking the newest vaccine available in the U.S.
