The EWTN News portal (January 22, 2026) reports on Jennie Bradley Lichter’s interview promoting the 53rd March for Life, emphasizing political engagement and youth formation while conspicuously avoiding any reference to the Social Kingship of Christ or the necessity of conversion to the Catholic faith for societal healing. The event features speakers including Vice President JD Vance and House Speaker Mike Johnson, framing abortion as a political issue rather than a theological crisis demanding supernatural remedies.
Naturalism Displacing Supernal Reality
The March for Life’s entire premise constitutes a fundamental betrayal of Catholic integralism by reducing the crime of abortion to a matter of legislative tinkering. Lichter’s statement that “taking down the Roe regime…was incredibly important” ignores the Church’s perennial teaching that error has no rights (Pius IX, Quanta Cura 1864). Her focus on “way too many abortions happening” employs utilitarian calculus rather than condemning each abortion as deicide – the murder of God incarnate in the unborn.
Nowhere does the event invoke Pius XI’s encyclical Quas Primas (1925), which established that “nations will be happy and peaceful only when Christ is King” and mandated public veneration of His social reign. The march’s route past Capitol Hill and Supreme Court buildings reveals its disordered fixation on human institutions rather than the Regnum Christi that transcends all earthly powers.
Ecumenical Apostasy in Anti-Life Coalition
The roster of speakers exemplifies the conciliar sect’s embrace of heretical indifferentism condemned by Pius IX: “Protestantism is nothing more than another form of the same true Christian religion” (Syllabus of Errors, Proposition 18). By platforming non-Catholic politicians like Vance and Johnson, organizers implicitly endorse the heresy that “man may, in the observance of any religion whatever, find the way of eternal salvation” (Syllabus, Proposition 16).
This betrayal continues in Lichter’s celebration of “forming young people for pro-life mission” without requiring adherence to the extra Ecclesiam nulla salus doctrine defined at the Fourth Lateran Council. The “public witness” she describes constitutes mere sociological activism, not the militia Christi demanded by Leo XIII’s Humanum Genus against Masonic naturalism.
Complicity in Hyde Amendment Heresy
Lichter’s defense of the Hyde Amendment as “Pro-Life 101” exposes the movement’s moral bankruptcy. To accept federal funding of abortion through nine months gestation in exchange for restricting taxpayer complicity constitutes formal cooperation with evil – a violation of the Church’s immutable prohibition against proximate material cooperation (St. Alphonsus Liguori, Theologia Moralis).
Her claim that “we can’t be flexible with an issue that implicates human life” rings hollow while tolerating 800,000+ annual surgical abortions under the guise of “states’ rights.” This echoes the conciliar sect’s abandonment of Certiores effecti (1745) which demanded civil authorities “eradicate the crime of abortion with all severity.”
Eclipsing Sacramental Remedies
The article’s silence on the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass as the only true remedy for abortion exemplifies the neo-church’s sacramental desert. No mention is made of exorcisms against abortionists, Eucharistic reparation for sacrilegious “communions” received by pro-abortion politicians, or the necessity of baptismal regeneration for unborn children.
Instead, the march promotes the naturalistic fallacy that political majorities can restore morality without divine grace. As the Holy Office decreed in Lamentabili Sane (1907), such efforts constitute “the cult of man” – reducing religion to human social engineering rather than submission to the lex divina.
The 2026 March for Life stands as a grotesque pantomime of Catholic action – a Masonic operation using fetal corpses as bargaining chips in Washington’s power games while obscuring Christ’s exclusive right to govern nations. Until organizers demand the public recantation of every abortion-supporting politician and the establishment of Catholicism as the state religion, their efforts remain complicit in the culture of death they claim to oppose.
