EWTN News portal reports on a proposed bill to end federal Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood, alongside various pro-life developments including EPA testing for abortion drugs in drinking water, a slight decrease in support for abortion legality, CVS denying a partnership with Planned Parenthood, and a Wyoming judge blocking a “heartbeat” law. The article presents these developments as news items within the ongoing political and legal struggle over abortion in the United States. Yet beneath the veneer of political reporting lies a profound spiritual crisis that demands ruthless Catholic analysis.
The Primacy of the Supernatural: What the Article Utterly Ignores
The article, like virtually all reporting from the conciliar sect and its affiliated media, operates within an entirely naturalistic framework. It speaks of bills, polls, judges, and legislation — but is conspicuously silent about the supernatural realities at stake. Not once does it mention the eternal damnation of those who procure or commit abortion, the state of grace, the necessity of repentance and confession, the reality of mortal sin, or the obligation of every Catholic to work for the conversion of sinners through prayer, penance, and the sacraments. This silence is not accidental — it is the hallmark of the post-conciliar apostasy, which has reduced the Church’s mission to a political lobbying operation indistinguishable from secular NGOs.
Pius XI taught in Quas Primas that Christ the King reigns over all nations and that “His reign encompasses also all non-Christians, so that most truly the entire human race is subject to the authority of Jesus Christ.” The duty of the state is not merely to pass laws but to recognize publicly the reign of Christ and to order all things — including civil legislation — according to divine law. Yet the article treats abortion policy as a matter of political horse-trading, as if the salvation of souls were secondary to legislative maneuvering.
The Heresy of Religious Liberty and the Conciliar Betrayal
The poll data presented in the article — showing that 6 in 10 Americans support abortion legality — is treated as a neutral sociological fact. But from the perspective of unchanging Catholic teaching, this is not a mere statistic; it is evidence of a nation in the grip of mortal sin. Pius IX condemned in the Syllabus of Errors the proposition that “in the present day it is no longer expedient that the Catholic religion should be held as the only religion of the State, to the exclusion of all other forms of worship” (Proposition 77). The entire framework of “religious liberty” enshrined in the conciliar sect’s Dignitatis Humanae — which the article implicitly accepts by treating abortion as a matter of personal choice rather than divine law — is a condemned heresy.
The Catholic position is clear: error has no rights. The state is bound to recognize the true religion and to suppress public offenses against God, including the abominable crime of child-sacrifice. As Leo XIII taught in Immortale Dei, the state that separates itself from God and His law “lacks a stable and strong foundation” and “the entire human society had to be shaken.” The article’s acceptance of the liberal democratic framework — where the killing of innocents is subject to popular vote — is itself a manifestation of the very apostasy that the popes warned would destroy civilization.
The Silence on the Church’s True Remedy
What is the Church’s remedy for the scourge of abortion? It is not lobbying Congress. It is not polling Americans. It is not testing drinking water for abortifacients. The true remedy is the conversion of nations to Christ the King through the preaching of the Gospel, the administration of the sacraments, and the restoration of all things in Christ.
Pius XI declared in Quas Primas: “If men were ever to recognize Christ’s royal authority over themselves, both privately and publicly, then unheard-of blessings would flow upon the whole society, such as due freedom, order, and tranquility, and concord and peace.” The article reduces the fight for life to political activism while ignoring the only truly efficacious means: the restoration of the social reign of Christ through the Church’s teaching authority, the sacramental life, and the sanctification of families.
The conciliar sect, having abandoned the missionary mandate to convert nations and instead embraced false ecumenism and interreligious dialogue, is structurally incapable of addressing the root cause of the abortion holocaust. Its “bishops” are silent on the necessity of national conversion, the reality of hell, and the obligation of Catholic states to outlaw the murder of the innocent. Instead, they issue bureaucratic statements and endorse political candidates — a grotesque parody of the Church’s true mission.
The Poll as Spiritual Barometer
The article notes that Americans who attend religious services weekly oppose abortion at a rate of 68%, while those who rarely or never attend support it at 76%. This data, presented as a mere curiosity, is in fact a devastating indictment of the conciliar sect itself. The post-conciliar “Church” has emptied its pews through its modernist liturgy, its diluted catechesis, its embrace of the world, and its abandonment of the supernatural. The faithful who remain faithful are those who, by the grace of God, have preserved the traditional faith despite the apostasy of their “clergy.”
The upward trend in abortion support since 2010 coincides precisely with the pontificate of Bergoglio and the acceleration of the conciliar revolution. The neo-church’s silence on the intrinsic evil of abortion, its “pastoral” approach to sinners, and its refusal to deny Holy Communion to pro-abortion politicians have contributed to the normalization of this abomination. As St. Pius X warned in Lamentabili, the modernist error that “the Church is incapable of effectively defending evangelical ethics, because it steadfastly adheres to its views, which cannot be reconciled with modern progress” (Proposition 63) has borne its poisoned fruit.
The Wyoming Judge and the Perversion of Justice
The blocking of Wyoming’s “heartbeat” law by a judge is presented as a legal setback. But the article fails to address the deeper issue: the entire judicial system of the United States is built upon the heretical foundation of religious liberty and the separation of Church and State. Pius IX condemned in the Syllabus the proposition that “the civil power has authority to rescind, declare and render null, solemn conventions, commonly called concordats, entered into with the Apostolic See” (Proposition 43) and that “in the case of conflicting laws enacted by the two powers, the civil law prevails” (Proposition 42).
In a truly Catholic state, no judge would have the authority to override the natural law protecting innocent life. The very existence of such judicial power is a consequence of the apostasy of nations that have rejected the kingship of Christ. The article’s acceptance of this framework — treating the judge’s decision as a legitimate exercise of authority rather than an act of rebellion against divine law — reveals the extent to which even “Catholic” media has been colonized by liberal categories.
The Necessity of Repentance, Not Legislation
The article concludes with a call to subscribe to EWTN News and review privacy policies — a fitting end to a document that substitutes information for formation, activism for prayer, and politics for the supernatural life. The true Catholic response to the abortion holocaust is not a newsletter subscription; it is penance, prayer, and the restoration of Catholic social order under Christ the King.
Until the conciliar sect repents of its apostasy, restores the true Mass, preaches the integral faith without compromise, and demands the submission of nations to the reign of Christ, the slaughter of innocents will continue — and the blood of these children will cry out to heaven for vengeance against a “Church” that has abandoned its divine mission.
