This is a really interesting question from a reader…
QUAERITUR:
Is it sinful to make or use fake papers, vaccine passports, or false documents?
It depends.
I direct you and others to a video of a debate about this issue (and related issues) between Dr. Janet Smith and Fr. Gregory Pine.
My option is that Dr. Smith made the better argument for the question: Is lying always wrong?
There are situations in which it is right to lie.
BAM BAM BAM BAM
[You open the door.]
DEIN AUSWEIS! SCHNELL!
[You hand over your identity papers.]
Versteckst du JUDEN in deinem Haus?
[Knowing you have Jews hidden in the basement, you answer.]
Nein.
So… watch this and think about it.
