National Catholic Bioethics Center still wishy-washy on vaccine mandates
The NCBC was the pet project of Bernard Law, then moved to Philly to become the project of Chaput. One quick look at its website tells you all you need to know about its (lack of) relevance. It has a newsletter, has received staff letters from two previous (and not the current) popes and holds annual conferences for the usual bishops. None of their ethicists are medical doctors. It's location is currently for sale. Nice house.
The official voice of the Church on bioethics is the Catholic Association of the United States. They have a real office in DC in an actual office building. Their annual gatherings are huge and their COVID work is for real. Their ethical concerns page talks about real issues, like when to shut ventilators off. I am sure the NCBC would have a conniption, except no one would care.
Of course, I should not talk. My Center for Fiscal Equity is run out of my condo. I don't have a magazine, but have made comments for the record the last decade on about every hearing Ways and Means and Finance have had during that time.
