Pro-Life Walk Masks Conciliar Apostasy with Humanistic Activism
The Catholic News Agency reports on the 22nd Walk for Life West Coast in San Francisco, organized by groups recognizing post-conciliar authorities. The event features speakers including Catholic convert Jason Jones and Baptist pastor Clenard Childress, with participation from Thomas Aquinas College students and a Mass celebrated by Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone. Activities include ecumenical rallies, testimonies organized by Priests for Life, and a Traditional Latin Mass at the Shrine of St. Francis of Assisi.
Naturalism Replaces Supernatural Faith
The event reduces the Church’s mission to natural law activism, omitting the essential truth that abortion stems from rejection of Christ the King. Pius XI condemned this inversion of priorities: “When once men recognize, both in private and in public life, that Christ is King, society will at last receive the great blessings of real liberty, well-ordered discipline, peace and harmony” (Quas Primas, 19). The article’s exclusive focus on temporal consequences (“dead fetuses sold for experimentation”) ignores the eternal damnation incurred by abortionists and collaborators – a silence revealing modernist contamination.
False Ecumenism in “Pro-Life” Guise
Collaboration with heretical communities like Childress’ Baptist group constitutes direct violation of the anti-modernist oath: “I entirely reject the heretical misrepresentation that dogmas evolve and change from one meaning to another different from the one which the Church held previously” (Sacrorum Antistitum, 1910). The 1907 decree Lamentabili condemned the proposition that “Protestantism is nothing more than another form of the same true Christian religion” (Error 18) – precisely embodied in this interdenominational event.
“We humbly walk and ask God to intervene on behalf of our nation, that we develop a greater respect for human life,” [Patrick Daly] said.
This pietistic language conceals the dogmatic abdication inherent in treating abortion as a standalone evil rather than a symptom of societal rejection of Social Kingship of Christ. St. Pius X’s Vehementer Nos (1906) mandates: “That the State must be separated from the Church is a thesis absolutely false, a most pernicious error.” The walk’s mere appeal for “respect” constitutes surrender to religious indifferentism.
Conciliar Liturgical Abuse
The inclusion of a Traditional Latin Mass under Cordileone’s authority exemplifies neo-modernist cooptation of tradition. As the 1917 Code of Canon Law states (Canon 1258 §1), “It is illicit for the faithful to assist actively or take part in non-Catholic worship” – yet participants will inevitably commune with heretics at shared events. The article fails to warn that “Communion” received at Cordileone’s invalid Novus Ordo Masses constitutes sacrilege, given their doubtful consecrations and Protestantized rites.
Dangerous Associations
Prominence given to Frank Pavone’s Priests for Life ignores his documented violations of Canon 285 §3 prohibiting clerical political activity. The presence of Thomas Aquinas College students – however well-intentioned – lends credibility to an event organized by conciliar sect officials. This mirrors the condemned errors of “Americanism” (Testem Benevolentiae, 1899), where practical activism displaces doctrinal integrity.
Omission of Necessary Remedies
Nowhere does the article mention the only true solution to abortion: uncompromising submission to Catholic authority as defined by Pope Pius IX: “The State, constituted as it is, is clearly bound to act up to the manifold and weighty duties linking it to God, by the public profession of religion” (Quanta Cura, 10). Instead, the walk promotes the modernist heresy that “human reason is the sole arbiter of truth and falsehood” (Syllabus of Errors, Condemned Proposition 3) through its purely natural arguments against abortion.
