IVF Poll Reveals Catastrophic Catechetical Failure in Conciliar Sect
Catholic News Agency reports (December 12, 2025) that initial support for in vitro fertilization (IVF) among U.S. Catholics drops from 53.5% to 44.5% after hearing basic Church teaching. The poll, conducted by EWTN News and RealClear Opinion Research, claims this demonstrates catechetical influence despite revealing 82.9% either supporting, tolerating, or indifferent to embryo murder after instruction. The article quotes “Fr.” Tadeusz Pacholczyk and Joseph Meaney of the National Catholic Bioethics Center lamenting poor catechesis while avoiding condemnation of conciliar sect structures enabling this apostasy.
Naturalism Masquerading as Moral Teaching
The article’s framing exposes the conciliar sect’s fundamental corruption: “When first asked about IVF, 53.5% of Catholics said they supported access to the procedure” demonstrates four generations of systematic betrayal by those occupying ecclesiastical offices. Pius XI’s encyclical Quas Primas condemns this exact naturalism: “When… states renounce and do not wish to recognize the reign of our Savior… the entire human society had to be shaken, because it lacked a stable and strong foundation” (Quas Primas §18). The poll’s very premise – measuring “support” for intrinsic evil – accepts relativistic morality condemned by Pius IX: “Human reason… is the sole arbiter of truth and falsehood” (Syllabus of Errors §3).
Diabolical Omissions in “Bioethical” Analysis
Nowhere does the article state IVF’s core atrocity: the deliberate mass murder of embryonic humans. Pacholczyk’s sanitized description – “results in the loss of unused embryos” – constitutes criminal obfuscation. Contrast this with Pius XII’s unadulterated doctrine: “The human being… from the moment of conception… must be guarded with the greatest care” (Address to Midwives, 1951). The conciliar “ethicists” focus on secondary issues like hormonal treatments while avoiding the sempiternae legis (eternal law) principle that no circumstance justifies direct killing of innocents.
Theological Vacuum of Post-Conciliar Structures
Meaney’s admission that “Catholic teaching on this procedure is not well known” indicts the entire conciliar hierarchy. St. Pius X’s Lamentabili Sane condemned precisely this modernist corruption: “The Church is incapable of effectively defending evangelical ethics… steadfastly adheres to its views which cannot be reconciled with modern progress” (§63). When Pacholczyk blames clergy for avoiding subjects “to prevent offending others,” he describes not Catholic shepherds but hirelings who “flee at the sight of the wolf” (John 10:12).
Sacramental Bankruptcy Enabling Moral Collapse
The 31.4% who remain undecided after instruction embody the conciliar sect’s sacramental void. True Catholic teaching holds that mater et magistra (mother and teacher) transmits truth through valid sacraments and doctrine. When “sacraments” lack form, matter, and intention – as in Novus Ordo “ordinations” – grace ceases flowing. This explains why even “informed” respondents reject IVF’s intrinsic evil: souls deprived of sanctifying grace cannot adhere to supernatural truth. Pius XII warned that without valid sacraments, “the faithful are in danger of losing their faith” (Sacramentum Ordinis).
Restorative Medicine as Modernist Trojan Horse
The article’s promotion of “restorative reproductive medicine” as an IVF alternative continues the conciliar deception. Natural procreative technology remains licit only when respecting the marital act’s integrity. Yet the NCBC’s collaboration with FEMM (Fertility Education & Medical Management) – funded by Gates Foundation population control advocates – exposes this as neo-Malthusianism masked as “Catholic” ethics. As Pius XI declared: “Any use whatsoever of matrimony exercised in such a way that the act is deliberately frustrated… is intrinsically vicious” (Casti Connubii §55).
The catastrophic poll results prove what true Catholics have always known: the conciliar sect constitutes an ecclesia non vera (non-Church) where 82.9% “faithful” support or tolerate child sacrifice demonstrates total apostasy. Only return to pre-1958 sacraments and doctrine can restore Christ’s reign overthrown by this diabolical disorientation.
