New York’s New Mayor Embodies Revolt Against Christ the King
Portal Catholic News Agency (November 4, 2025) reports the election of self-described democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani as New York City’s next mayor. The 34-year-old Muslim state assemblyman secured 50.4% of votes against former Governor Andrew Cuomo (41.3%) and Republican Curtis Sliwa (7.5%), promising radical policies including taxpayer-funded child sex-change procedures, expanded abortion access, and elimination of cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. Mamdani’s platform champions $65 million for transgender medical interventions, doubling abortion funding while attacking pro-life pregnancy centers, and establishing “LGBTQIA+” sanctuary policies – all framed as resistance to President Trump’s executive orders protecting children.
The Abomination of Desolation in Civic Leadership
Mamdani’s electoral victory epitomizes the apostasia magna (great apostasy) foretold in Sacred Scripture (2 Thess 2:3). His platform constitutes a systematic rejection of the Kingship of Christ over civil society, directly contravening Pius XI’s encyclical Quas Primas which declares: “Nations will be happy and peaceful only when they accept Christ’s law, respect Church rights, and submit to His teaching authority.” By contrast, the mayor-elect’s promise to create “an office of LGBTQIA+ affairs” institutionalizes the cult of disordered passions that St. Paul condemns as “vile affections” deserving death (Rom 1:26-32).
The Syllabus of Errors (1864) explicitly condemns the heresy that “the Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church” (Proposition 55). Yet Mamdani’s entire platform rests upon this modernist fallacy, treating morality as subject to electoral majorities rather than Divine Law. His promise to withhold municipal cooperation with federal immigration enforcement violates Romans 13:1-2 – “Non est potestas nisi a Deo” (There is no power but from God) – by which legitimate authority derives its coercive power from God alone.
Taxpayer-Funded Child Sacrifice and Mutilation
Mamdani’s pledge to double funding for New York’s Abortion Access Hub constitutes state-sponsored infanticide. The Didache (c. 70 AD), among the earliest Christian catechisms, condemns abortion as equivalent to pagan child sacrifice: “You shall not kill the fetus by abortion or commit infanticide.” Canon 2350 of the 1917 Code imposed excommunication latae sententiae for procured abortion. Yet this mayor-elect promises not merely to permit but subsidize these crimes against humanity.
His $65 million hormone therapy fund for minors completes the demonic symmetry – replacing Moloch’s fiery altars with surgical scalpels. The Casti Connubii (1930) condemns all sterilization procedures as “against nature and contrary to God’s laws,” while St. Thomas Aquinas teaches that mutilation constitutes mortal sin unless for bodily health (Summa II-II q.65 a.1). Mamdani’s policies institutionalize what Pius XI called “satanic program for moral corruption” through state-funded destruction of bodies and souls.
The Silence of False Shepherds
Nowhere does the Catholic News Agency article reference the Church’s perennial teaching that Catholic politicians supporting abortion or immorality incur automatic excommunication (Canon 188.4, 1917 Code). The silence parallels the conciliar sect’s complicity through omission. Where are the anathemas demanded by the Council of Trent against those who “persist in defending pro-abortion laws” (Session XI)?
The article’s neutral reporting on Mamdani’s Muslim faith whitewashes the dogmatic truth that “outside the Church there is no salvation” (Council of Florence, 1442). Pius IX’s Quanta Cura (1864) condemned the heresy that “liberty of conscience and worship is each man’s personal right” – precisely the pluralism enabling a Muslim socialist to impose anti-Christian policies on what was once America’s Catholic stronghold.
Economic Sorcery Disguised as Charity
Mamdani’s socialist platform – $30 minimum wage, rent freezes, “baby baskets” with postpartum supplies – employs material bribes to seduce citizens into accepting moral degradation. This follows Marx’s playbook of using economic promises to destroy spiritual resistance. Pope Leo XIII warned in Rerum Novarum (1891) that socialism “strips man of his liberty, robs human authority of its dignity, and throws all things into confusion.”
The proposed 11.5% corporate tax and 2% millionaire’s surtax violate the Seventh Commandment through legalized theft. St. Augustine teaches that “Remota iustitia quid sunt regna nisi magna latrocinia?” (Without justice, what are kingdoms but great robberies?). When governments exceed their God-given role of punishing evildoers (Rom 13:4) to engage in wealth redistribution, they institutionalize injustice.
A City Under Judgment
New York’s embrace of this platform fulfills Romans 1:28 – “Tradidit illos Deus in reprobum sensum” (God delivered them to a reprobate sense). From the 1965 Cardinal Spellman-approved destruction of the original Penn Station to its current celebration of transgenderism, the city has methodically rejected its Catholic heritage. Mamdani’s election completes its transformation into a modern Sodom – a warning to all nations abandoning Christ the King.
As Pius XI declared in Quas Primas: “When once men recognize the Kingship of Christ, human society will at last receive the great blessings of real liberty, well-ordered discipline, peace, and harmony.” New York’s deliberate rejection of this Kingship invites the fate of Nineveh – unless, like that ancient city, it heeds the call to repentance before divine justice falls.
