I would say leave it at that and do not worry about trying to convince others of the licitness of what actions you decided to take.
I know of a traditional priest in a care home. Nearly 90 years old.
He was given two options:
1. Do not get the vaccine, and as such, we will never let you out of your room. You'll be stuck here, won't be able to leave to say Masses, hear confessions and won't be allowed to have access to other hospitals and homes for anointing etc.
2. Get the vaccine, so he could have a ministry.
Despite his reservations, he went with #2.
"I won't allow their games to stop me from being a priest. If I die, all the better. Dona ei requiem!"
You should never give into blackmail. That's weak.
There was no rational reason to not let him out of his room. Therefore the people threatening him were either idiots or evil. Neither should be obeyed. You should resist evil commands and not comply with them. Otherwise you empower evil even more. In point of fact they WOULD have let him out of his room, because all his fellow priests and other elderly people who resisted are today out of their rooms.
If more people had said "piss off" then they would not have been able to coerce as many people as they did.

I used to think there might be central control. Then I concluded that the control was at the spiritual level. The elites are like pawns in the hands of demons. Since the plans are demonic they may appear coordinated at a human level but they are not.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
-- Ephesians 6:12
"The rulers of the darkness" - demons.
Spot on.
I do think, though, there's an elite we don't really see - ie. the Rothschilds, and the ones we think are elites (politicians, royalty etc) are just their marionette dolls.
Chamath Palihapitiya said as much. He's a multi-billionaire, so I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt (CAUTION: Language):
Quote from: Severinus on Today at 02:21:06 PMLet's not act as if Fr. Jone made the definitive traditional teaching which is now beyond question. It's a book of moral theology with an imprimatur.
Let's additionally not pretend that pointing out a possible class prejudice in the interpretation equates to engagng in "class struggle," which implies a Marxist point is being made.
