EWTN News reports on Meta’s AI chatbot policy blocking discussions of abortion with minors, alongside other pro-life developments including the faltering of a national assisted suicide bill in the UK, an Ohio court upholding a ban on aborted baby burial requirements, and a Texas lawsuit against a mail-in abortion company. While these reports document ongoing efforts against moral evils, they operate entirely within a naturalistic framework that utterly neglects the indispensable foundation of the Social Reign of Christ the King, thereby perpetuating the very apostasy they claim to oppose.
The Naturalistic Reduction of Moral Evils
The article treats abortion and assisted suicide as matters of “sexual health” and legal policy, devoid of their true nature as mortal sins crying out for divine vengeance. Meta’s policy, as described, prevents the chatbot from offering “advice or opinion” on abortion to minors, instead providing “factual information.” This is a capitulation to secular standards that equate moral truth with personal opinion. From the unchanging teaching of the Catholic Church, abortion is the murder of an innocent child, a crime against God and nature that demands absolute condemnation, not relativistic “information.” Pope Pius XI in Quas Primas declared that “the hope of lasting peace will not yet shine upon nations as long as individuals and states renounce and do not wish to recognize the reign of our Savior.” By reducing abortion to a topic for “age-appropriate” discussion, Meta and the reporting thereof implicitly reject Christ’s kingship over public morality.
Silence on Superrealities: The Omission of Grace and Judgment
The article’s complete silence on the supernatural consequences of abortion and assisted suicide is its most damning feature. There is no mention of the eternal damnation awaiting unrepentant murderers, the necessity of sacramental confession for forgiveness, or the role of the Church as the sole arbiter of salvation. This omission is not accidental but symptomatic of the Modernist heresy condemned by St. Pius X in Lamentabili sane exitu. Proposition 26 states: “The dogmas of faith should be understood according to their practical function, i.e., as binding in action, rather than as principles of belief.” The article exemplifies this by focusing on legal actions while ignoring the doctrinal and spiritual truths that make those actions meaningful. Without the context of the state of grace and the final judgment, pro-life efforts become mere humanitarianism, devoid of eternal significance.
The Conciliar Roots of the Crisis
The moral crisis described in the article is a direct fruit of the conciliar revolution’s abandonment of the Social Reign of Christ. The Syllabus of Errors, promulgated by Pope Pius IX, condemns the separation of Church and state (Error #55) and the idea that the Catholic religion need not be the state religion (Error #77). Yet, since Vatican II, the conciliar “Church” has embraced religious freedom and ecumenism, leading to the secular state that legalizes abortion and assisted suicide. As Pius XI warned in Quas Primas, “when God and Jesus Christ were removed from laws and states… the foundations of that authority were destroyed.” The current “papacy” and “episcopate” have not only failed to reverse this but have actively promoted it, making them complicit in the ongoing slaughter of the innocent.
The Failure of Modern “Pro-Life” Efforts
The legal and political battles reported—such as the Texas lawsuit or the Ohio court decision—are inherently futile without the prior restoration of Christ’s kingship. Pius XI taught that “all power in heaven and on earth is given to Christ the Lord,” and therefore “there is no power in us that is exempt from this reign.” States that enact pro-life laws without acknowledging Christ’s authority are building on sand. The article’s uncritical celebration of such measures ignores that they can be overturned by future secular legislatures, as seen with Ohio’s constitutional amendment enshrining abortion rights. True pro-life victory requires the conversion of hearts and minds through the Church’s teaching, not merely legal technicalities.
The Role of the Usurping Hierarchy
Although the article does not directly address the hierarchy, its source, EWTN News, operates within the conciliar structure that has betrayed Christ’s kingship. The antipopes from John XXIII to the current “Pope” Leo XIV have never defined abortion as a crime requiring excommunication of its proponents, nor have they called for the consecration of nations to Christ the King as Pius XI mandated. Instead, they promote “dialogue” and “human dignity” in terms condemned by the Syllabus. The sedevacantist position, based on the teaching of St. Robert Bellarmine, holds that a manifest heretic loses his office automatically (as documented in the provided file on Sedevacantism). The current occupants, by embracing Modernism, are heretics and thus invalidly hold office. Their failure to proclaim the Social Reign of Christ is not negligence but apostasy.
The Only Solution: Integral Catholicism
The only remedy for the evils reported is a return to integral Catholic doctrine before the conciliar apostasy. This means declaring that the state must recognize Catholicism as the sole true religion and base all laws on the Ten Commandments, with abortion and assisted suicide punishable by law as crimes against God. It means rejecting all conciliar novelties like religious freedom and ecumenism, which are condemned in the Syllabus. It means supporting only those clergy who uphold the immutable faith, such as the few remaining traditional bishops outside the conciliar sect. As Pius XI concluded in Quas Primas, “if all the faithful understood that they must fight bravely and always under the banner of Christ the King,” then society would be healed. But this requires a Church free from Modernist contamination—a Church that the conciliar structures have willfully abandoned.
In conclusion, EWTN News’s reporting, while factually accurate, participates in the theological bankruptcy of our age by omitting the non-negotiable truth that every knee must bend to Christ the King. Without this foundation, all pro-life efforts are destined to failure, as they combat symptoms while ignoring the disease: the rejection of Christ’s reign over individuals, families, and states. The path forward is not through secular policies but through the restoration of the Social Kingship of Our Lord Jesus Christ, as taught by the pre-conciliar Magisterium and defended by the faithful remnant.
