The cited EWTN News article reports on an Ethics and Public Policy Center study finding increased serious adverse events for women following the FDA’s removal of in-person requirements for chemical abortion drugs, particularly highlighting dangers like undiagnosed ectopic pregnancies. It features pro-life leaders condemning the policy as a public health crisis and calling for reinstatement of safeguards, while noting political divisions over the issue. The article frames the problem primarily in terms of women’s health risks and political strategy, omitting any supernatural or doctrinal condemnation of abortion as a mortal sin crying out for divine vengeance.
The Naturalistic Trap: Reducing a Mortal Sin to a Public Health Issue
The article’s entire framework operates within the secular, naturalistic paradigm condemned by Pope Pius IX in the Syllabus of Errors. By focusing exclusively on “adverse events,” “hospitalizations,” and “complications,” it sanitizes the intrinsic evil of abortion, treating the murder of an innocent soul as merely a dangerous medical procedure. This is the precise error of “moderate rationalism” (Syllabus, Error #8) and “indifferentism” (#15-17), where the supernatural order—the soul, the state of grace, the eternal destiny of both mother and child—is systematically excluded from the analysis. The language of “health risks” is a diabolical obfuscation; abortion is not a health risk but a crime against God and nature, a direct violation of the Fifth Commandment and a rebellion against the kingship of Christ over life itself. The article’s silence on the mortal sinfulness of procured abortion, the excommunication latae sententiae incurred by those who procure it (Canon 1398), and the duty of Catholic states to punish it as a crime against the common good, is not an oversight but a theological necessity for a publication emanating from the post-conciliar “Church” which has embraced the errors of religious liberty and the separation of Church and State.
The Omission of Christ’s Social Kingship: A Direct Violation of Quas Primas
Pope Pius XI, in Quas Primas, established the Feast of Christ the King precisely to combat the secularism that “denied Christ the Lord’s reign over all nations” and “subordinated [the Church] to secular power.” The article’s proposed solution—reinstating FDA regulations—is a quintessential modernist compromise. It seeks to solve a moral catastrophe through bureaucratic state regulation, utterly ignoring the papal teaching that “the state must… publicly honor Christ and obey Him” and that “all relations in the state be ordered on the basis of God’s commandments and Christian principles.” The very existence of the FDA, a secular agency dictating the terms of a moral evil, is the fruit of the error condemned in Syllabus #39: “The State… is endowed with a certain right not circumscribed by any limits.” A truly Catholic analysis would demand the total prohibition of abortion drugs as an act of justice to God, not a tweak of administrative policy. The article’s failure to invoke the Social Kingship of Christ is a silent repudiation of Quas Primas and an embrace of the “laicism” Pius XI called “the plague that poisons human society.”
The False Authority of the “Pro-Life” Movement: A Symptom of Apostasy
The article quotes leaders from Heartbeat International and the Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America group. These organizations, while performing necessary works of charity, operate entirely within the naturalistic, “culture of death” framework they claim to oppose. Their language—calling abortion a “public health crisis,” citing “thousands of women in emergency rooms”—mirrors the secular public health discourse. They never once mention the theological crime of homicidium, the damnation of souls, or the obligation of Catholic rulers to defend the innocent by force of law, as taught by St. Robert Bellarmine and the Thomistic tradition. This is the inevitable fruit of the conciliar revolution’s “hermeneutics of continuity,” which tries to square Catholic teaching with the modern world’s liberal, individualistic assumptions. The article’s reliance on such groups, rather than on the unyielding voice of the pre-1958 Magisterium, exposes the bankruptcy of the post-conciliar “pro-life” movement. It is a movement without teeth, without doctrine, and without God—a humanitarian adjunct to the very system of murder it pretends to oppose.
The Silence on the “Conciliar Sect’s” Complicity: The Great Apostasy in Action
The most damning omission is the complete absence of any reference to the responsibility of the “conciliar sect” occupying the Vatican. Since the apostate Second Vatican Council, the “popes” and “bishops” have:
– Promulgated the heresy of religious liberty (Dignitatis Humanae), which grants the state a false right to tolerate mortal sin.
– Emptied the Church of her social doctrine, reducing her mission to a vague “service to humanity.”
– Never, in over 60 years, excommunicated a single politician or doctor for promoting or performing abortion, despite Canon 915’s clear obligation to deny Holy Communion to such obstinate sinners.
– Fostered a “culture of encounter” and “dialogue” with the agents of the culture of death, from the United Nations to pro-abortion politicians.
The article’s authors, writing for a “Catholic” news outlet, cannot bring themselves to name this apostasy. They cannot state the obvious: that a “church” which refuses to teach the binding force of the moral law, which honors “saints” like John Paul II who kissed the Koran and promoted Assisi’s blasphemous gatherings, and which has canonized the architect of the modernized Mass (Paul VI), has no authority to condemn abortion with the clarity and force required. Their critique, therefore, is not a Catholic critique at all, but a liberal, humanitarian critique that leaves the root cause—the apostate hierarchy—untouched. This is the “systemic apostasy” warned of by St. Pius X in Pascendi Dominici Gregis and Lamentabili Sane Exitu, where modernists “reform” the Church from within while undermining her doctrine.
The Factual Narrative as a Tool of Distraction
While the study cited may show a statistical increase in complications, the article’s fixation on this data serves to distract from the far greater, eternal catastrophe: the loss of souls. The “adverse events” are not merely physical but spiritual. Every procured abortion is a mortal sin that, if unrepented, leads to eternal damnation. The “thousands in emergency rooms” are a pale shadow of the millions of souls rushing to hell. By reducing the discussion to material harms, the article participates in the modernist reduction of religion to ethics and ethics to sociology. This is the “evolution of dogmas” condemned by Pius X: the truth that abortion is a crime against God is replaced by the “truth” that it is a public health problem. The article thus becomes, however unintentionally, an instrument of the very secularization it laments.
Conclusion: A Call to Reject the Conciliar Sect and Return to Tradition
The FDA policy is a logical consequence of the secular state’s rejection of Christ’s kingship, a rejection solemnly condemned by Pius XI. The article’s failure to diagnose this at its root—the apostasy of the post-conciliar “Church” which has surrendered the public square to the enemies of God—renders its analysis worse than useless; it is deceptive. It offers a palliative naturalistic solution to a supernatural crisis. The only Catholic response is the one Pius XI demanded in Quas Primas: the public, solemn, and universal recognition of the Social Reign of Christ the King, with the state deriving its authority from Him and His law. This requires a hierarchy that teaches the fullness of the faith, excommunicates the obstinately pro-abortion, and calls for the penal sanctions of the State against this crime. The current “conciliar sect” does the opposite. Therefore, the faithful must have no part in its compromised “pro-life” activism. They must reject the false apparitions (like Fatima, which the provided file exposes as a Masonic operation) and the false “saints” of the post-conciliar cult. They must cling to the unchanging faith of their fathers, outside the walls of the modernistic Babylon that occupies Rome. The only hope for America and the world is the restoration of the immutable Tradition and the true, visible Church that alone can teach the nations to obey the laws of Christ the King.
