Texas Lawsuit Exposes Secularist Assault on Christ’s Social Kingship
Catholic News Agency reports (November 25, 2025) that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed suit against the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) for requiring religious organizations to censor worship and religious activities to qualify for homeless and low-income housing funds. The agency's rules prohibit grant recipients from engaging in “sectarian or explicitly religious activities such as worship, religious instruction, or proselytization” when using public funds.
Naturalism Masquerading as Neutrality
The lawsuit frames this exclusion as a violation of constitutional religious liberty protections, complaining that “the government must maintain neutrality on religious matters” and cannot “condition participation on theological choices about worship, instruction, or proselytization.” This argument fundamentally accepts the modernist error that Christ's reign extends only to private conscience, not public institutions. As Pius XI declared in Quas Primas (1925): “Rulers of nations… must not refuse public veneration and obedience to the reigning Christ” for “the entire human race is subject to the authority of Jesus Christ.”
“State agencies have no authority to force Christians and other religious organizations to censor their beliefs just to serve their communities,”
Paxton's statement reveals the bankruptcy of America's founding errors. While correctly opposing direct persecution, he operates within the heretical framework of religious indifferentism condemned by Pius IX in Syllabus of Errors (1864): “Every man is free to embrace and profess that religion which, guided by the light of reason, he shall consider true” (Error 15). True Catholic social doctrine demands more than legal “neutrality” – it requires states to recognize Catholicism as the sole true religion (Syllabus, Error 77).
Silence on the Primary Apostasy
The article's grave omission lies in its failure to identify the root cause: the conciliar sect's embrace of religious liberty at Vatican II. These housing regulations merely implement the naturalistic heresy articulated in Dignitatis Humanae, which falsely claims that “the human person has a right to religious freedom.” As St. Pius X warned in Lamentabili (1907), Modernists reduce religion to “man’s self-awareness of his relationship to God” (Proposition 20), transforming the Church from Christ's kingdom into a secular NGO.
Note the bureaucratic language used to describe Christian charity: “homeless and low-income housing programs,” “public funds,” “official policies.” This reduces the Corporal Works of Mercy to social services detached from their supernatural end – the salvation of souls. Authentic Catholic charity always flows from the altar to the streets, never divorcing material aid from spiritual sustenance (“Man lives not by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God” – Matthew 4:4).
Theological Cowardice in Action
The article quotes Paxton's November 14 statement decrying “anti-Christian laws targeting religious students,” yet remains silent about his simultaneous persecution of Annunciation House – a Catholic migrant aid organization. This hypocrisy exposes the bankruptcy of conservative posturing within the Babylonish system. When Paxton accuses these Catholics of “alien harboring,” he adopts the very secularist logic he claims to oppose, proving that no justice flows from regimes denying Christ's crown.
The lawsuit's requested remedy – an injunction against TDHCA – constitutes mere damage control within a system built on apostasy. True remedy requires what Pius XI called “the restoration of Christ to civil society” through the Social Reign of the Sacred Heart. Until Texas officials publicly consecrate the state to Christ the King and abrogate all laws contradicting Catholic doctrine, their legal maneuvers remain opera diaboli in vincis diaboli (“the devil's works in the devil's chains”).
As the Roman Catechism teaches: “Kings and princes must serve God's majesty by publicly professing and promoting religion.” Any system forbidding homeless shelters from offering Mass or catechism to starving souls isn't merely discriminatory – it's structurally anti-Christ. Let Texans abandon this satanic parody of governance and submit to the Regnum Christi before the King returns to “strike the earth with the rod of His mouth” (Isaiah 11:4).
