The Spanish Government’s Constitutionalization of Abortion: A Modernist Assault on the Kingship of Christ
Summary: The Infovaticana portal reports (February 14, 2026) that the Spanish government of Pedro Sánchez has approved an amendment to Article 43 of the Constitution to explicitly recognize a “right to voluntary termination of pregnancy,” choosing a procedural route that avoids dissolving Parliament. The Council of State has advised that such a fundamental change should occur via Article 15, requiring a more demanding process, but the government prioritizes “simplicity and speed.” This move occurs against a backdrop of a demographic crisis with record-low birth rates and parallel policies of mass immigrant regularization. The article presents these facts without theological or moral framing. The underlying thesis is that this act is a deliberate, canonical, and apostate rejection of the Social Kingship of Our Lord Jesus Christ, mandated by the pre-conciliar Magisterium, and a fruit of the conciliar revolution’s embrace of secularist naturalism.
The Bureaucratization of Moral Catastrophe
The article’s language is a study in anesthetic technocracy. Phrases like “procedimiento que evita la disolución de las Cortes,” “mayor sencillez y celeridad,” and “formulación jurídica más definida” drain the act of its moral horror. This is the precise voice of the “abomination of desolation” standing in the holy place—a sterile, procedural discourse that treats the legalization of infant homicide as a matter of legislative efficiency. The focus on “celeridad” (speed) is a satanic inversion of the virtue of prudence, which demands careful, prayerful deliberation on matters of life and death. The entire framing assumes a secular, statist paradigm where “rights” are granted by the political community, not by God and inscribed in the natural law.
Silence on the Non-Negotiable: God’s Law and the Right to Life
The most damning omission is the complete absence of any reference to the Fifth Commandment, the natural law, or the sovereign right of God over life and death. The article treats the “derecho a la interrupción voluntaria del embarazo” as a legitimate political claim. This is the quintessential error of Modernism condemned by St. Pius X: the belief that truth and morality are subject to the “evolution of human consciousness” (cf. Lamentabili sane exitu, Props. 58, 60). In the integral Catholic view, the state has no right to “guarantee” the murder of the innocent; its primary duty is to protect the innocent from murder, as a fundamental participation in the divine order.
Pius XI, in Quas Primas, is unequivocal: “When God and Jesus Christ… were removed from laws and states… the foundations of that authority were destroyed, because the main reason why some have the right to command and others have the duty to obey was removed.” The Spanish Constitution, by enshrining a right to kill the unborn, explicitly removes God and His law from the foundation of the state. It establishes a human, satanic “right” against the divine, unchangeable law: “Non occides” (Thou shalt not kill).
Constitutionalizing Apostasy: A Direct Violation of the Syllabus of Errors
The act described is a direct implementation of errors solemnly condemned by Pope Pius IX in the Syllabus of Errors. The proposed constitutional text asserts a “right” derived solely from human legislative will. This is the very essence of Error 39: “The State, as being the origin and source of all rights, is endowed with a certain right not circumscribed by any limits.” Catholic doctrine holds that all rights originate from God and are discerned by the natural law; the state’s role is to recognize and protect them, not to create them ex nihilo.
Furthermore, Error 56 states: “Moral laws do not stand in need of the divine sanction, and it is not at all necessary that human laws should be made conformable to the laws of nature and receive their power of binding from God.” The Spanish government’s action is a practical enactment of this condemned proposition. By placing abortion in the Constitution, it declares that the moral law against killing the innocent is not binding on the positive law of the land—a formal, public apostasy from the divine order.
The “Vía Rápida” as a Symbol of Conciliar Moral Relativism
The choice of Article 43 (health) over Article 15 (fundamental rights) is not a mere procedural nuance; it is a symbol of the post-conciliar Church’s and modern states’ strategy to smuggle moral abominations under the guise of “health,” “dignity,” or “well-being.” This is the methodology of dignitas personae and its secular counterparts: to redefine evil as a “health service” or a “right to bodily autonomy.” The pre-conciliar Magisterium never spoke of a “right to health” that included the right to murder one’s child. The natural law is clear: you cannot have a “right” to an act that is intrinsically evil and destructive of the common good.
The Council of State’s objection—that the magnitude of the change demands the more rigorous procedure—is a faint echo of the Catholic principle that fundamental alterations to the moral and constitutional order require the broadest possible consensus and the gravest deliberation. The government’s rejection of this advice in favor of “celeridad” reveals the true nature of the project: not a sober constitutional amendment, but a rapid, ideological power grab to entrench a culture of death before any potential political shift.
Demographic Crisis and the Culture of Death: A Diabolical Triad
The article notes Spain’s “crisis demográfica sin precedentes” and the parallel policy of “regularización masiva de inmigrantes.” This is the diabolical triad of the Modernist state: 1) Legally sanctioned murder of the native unborn to achieve “reproductive freedom”; 2) Mass immigration to compensate for the demographic collapse caused by (1) and to create a dependent, rootless electorate; 3) The destruction of the organic, Catholic, familial and social fabric of the nation. This is not a coincidence; it is the logical outcome of a state that has formally rejected the Social Kingship of Christ. A state that recognizes a “right” to abortion has declared war on the very source of its future—the family and the child. It must then import population to sustain its Ponzi-scheme welfare state, creating a society atomized, faithless, and easily governed.
This is the precise opposite of the Catholic social order envisioned by Pius XI in Quas Primas: “Oh, what happiness we would enjoy if individuals, families, and states allowed themselves to be governed by Christ… the state is happy not by one means, and man by another; for the state is nothing else than a harmonious association of men.” The Spanish state, by constitutionalizing abortion, chooses the path of disharmony, violence, and ultimate dissolution.
The Apostasy of the “Neo-Church” and the Silence of Its “Shepherds”
Where are the voices of the “archbishops” and “bishops” of the conciliar “episcopal conferences” in Spain? Their silence is a damning participation in this apostasy. The Syllabus (Error 21) condemns the notion that “The Church has not the power of defining dogmatically that the religion of the Catholic Church is the only true religion.” The Spanish Constitution, by its secularist premise and now by its explicit protection of abortion, operates on the principle that the state is neutral and can “guarantee” rights that are intrinsically evil. This is the practical realization of the “separation of Church and State” condemned in Error 55: “The Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church.”
The conciliar “Church” has embraced this separation through its doctrine of “religious liberty” (Dignitatis Humanae), which posits a state duty to protect the “right” to practice error. This creates the philosophical and legal space for a state to “guarantee” the “right” to abortion as a matter of “conscience” or “health.” The “shepherds” of the neo-church, by their failure to excommunicate the politicians who promote this and by their own promotion of “pastoral” accommodations with evil, are accomplices. They have exchanged the immutable truth of the natural law for the “progress” of the world, exactly as St. Pius X condemned in Pascendi Dominici gregis.
Conclusion: A Call to Resistance and the Only Remedy
The constitutionalization of abortion in Spain is not a political disagreement. It is a formal, public, and canonical act of national apostasy. It places the Spanish state in formal opposition to the reign of Christ the King, as defined by Pius XI: “His reign encompasses all men… He is the source of salvation for individuals and for the whole… the state is happy not by one means, and man by another.” A state that guarantees the right to kill its unborn children has made itself an instrument of the “prince of this world” (John 12:31).
The only remedy, as given by the same Pontiff, is the public and solemn recognition of the Kingship of Christ: “the annual celebration of this solemnity will also remind states that not only private individuals, but also rulers and governments have the duty to publicly honor Christ and obey Him.” Until the Spanish nation, through legitimate Catholic authority, publicly repudiates this constitutional amendment, consecrates itself to the Sacred Heart, and restores the rights of Christ the King in its fundamental law, it remains under the divine chastisement foretold in Quas Primas: “the entire human society had to be shaken, because it lacked a stable and strong foundation.”
The faithful Catholics in Spain, clinging to the immutable Faith of their fathers and rejecting the conciliar novelties, must see this act for what it is: a satanic offensive. Their duty is to resist by prayer, penance, and the unwavering profession of the integral Catholic doctrine that the state has no power to legitimate murder, that Christ is King, and that His law is the sole foundation of true justice and peace. They must have no part in the “neo-church” that remains silent or complicit. They must look to the true, pre-conciliar Church and its unchangeable teachings as their only standard and hope.
