March 2nd Statement By US Bishops &Congregation for Doctrine of Faith (CDF)
"In their March 2 statement, the bishops quoted the Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, which judged that “when ethically irreproachable COVID-19 vaccines are not available … it is morally acceptable to receive COVID-19 vaccines that have used cell lines from aborted fetuses in their research and production process.”“However, if one can choose among equally safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines,” the bishops added, “the vaccine with the least connection to abortion-derived cell lines should be chosen. Therefore, if one has the ability to choose a vaccine, Pfizer or Moderna’s vaccines should be chosen over Johnson & Johnson’s."
"The Vatican COVID-19 Commission and the Pontifical Academy for Life have said, “We believe that all clinically recommended vaccinations can be used with a clear conscience and that the use of such vaccines does not signify some sort of cooperation with voluntary abortion.” -

Us Bishops on COVID-19 Vaccines
"MORAL CONSIDERATIONS REGARDING THE NEW COVID-19 VACCINES"
https://www.usccb.org/moral-considerations-covid-vaccines
A US Bishops' document authored by the Chairmen of the Committee on Doctrine and the Committee on Pro-Life ActivitiesThis seven page document carefully considers the moral issues surrounding the creation of the available vaccines and whether one should get vaccinated. Near the end of the document (page 5) the Bishops conclude, "In view of the gravity of the current pandemic and the lack of availability of alternative vaccines, the reasons to accept the new COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer and Moderna are sufficiently serious to justify their use, despite their remote connection to morally compromised cell lines. In addition, receiving the COVID-19 vaccine ought to be understood as an act of charity toward the other members of our community. In this way, being vaccinated safely against COVID-19 should be considered an act of love of our neighbor and part of our moral responsibility for the common good."
