The article from the EWTN News portal (May 4, 2026) reports that the United States Supreme Court has temporarily restored the policy of mailing chemical abortion drugs (mifepristone) after a lower court had rightly reinstated the requirement for in-person dispensation. The judicial system of a nation that formally professes to be Christian has once again demonstrated that it serves not Christ the King, but the Moloch of secular humanism, Big Pharma, and the culture of death.
The Reign of Secularism and the Denial of Christ’s Kingship
The entire legal and political framework surrounding this issue is built upon the foundational heresy condemned by Pope Pius IX in the Syllabus of Errors: that the Catholic religion should not be the sole religion of the state (Proposition 77), and that civil liberty of all forms of worship does not corrupt morals (Proposition 79). The United States, from its inception, has operated under the delusion of “religious freedom” as defined by Masonic principles, not Catholic truth. Pius XI, in his encyclical Quas Primas, thundered that “the Kingdom of our Redeemer encompasses all men” and that “men united in societies are no less subject to the authority of Christ than individuals.” Yet, the Supreme Court — an instrument of a godless republic — presumes to adjudicate matters of life and death, ignoring the divine law that “thou shalt not kill” (Exodus 20:13).
The article notes that chemical abortions accounted for 63% of U.S. abortions in 2023. This statistic is not merely a number; it is the fruit of the systematic apostasy that Pius XI warned would occur when nations remove Christ and His law from public life: “the entire human society had to be shaken, because it lacked a stable and strong foundation” (Quas Primas). The “foundation” rejected is the divine constitution of the Church and the natural law inscribed by God in every human heart.
The Complicity of the “Catholic” Establishment
The article quotes various pro-life figures, including Marjorie Dannenfelser of SBA Pro-Life America and Kristan Hawkins of Students for Life Action. While their rhetoric is strong, it reveals a profound theological bankruptcy. They speak of “lives lost” and “voter morale,” reducing the murder of innocents to a political calculation. Dannenfelser calls for the firing of FDA Commissioner Marty Makary and demands enforcement of the Comstock Act — a federal law from 1873 that prohibited mailing obscene materials, including abortifacients.
But here lies the fatal flaw: the Comstock Act itself is a product of the same Masonic legal system that now protects abortion. It was never rooted in Catholic canon law or the divine positive law. To appeal to it is to acknowledge the legitimacy of a system that has no authority to legislate on matters of faith and morals. The Church has always taught that extra Ecclesiam nulla salus — outside the Church there is no salvation — and that the Church alone has the authority to bind and loose (Matthew 16:19). The pro-life movement’s reliance on federal legislation and judicial appointments is a confession of despair in the supernatural means of grace and a capitulation to the naturalism condemned by Pius IX (Proposition 3 of the Syllabus).
The Silence on Sacramental Reality
The article is entirely silent on the sacramental dimension of this crisis. There is no mention of the state of grace, the necessity of confession for those who procure or perform abortions (Canon 2350 of the 1917 Code of Canon Law), or the excommunication latae sententiae incurred by those who cooperate in abortion. The Catechism of the Council of Trent teaches that “the murder of an innocent child is a crime of the deepest dye” and that such souls are “excluded from the kingdom of heaven.”
Instead, the article focuses on “safety reviews,” “complication rates,” and “medical oversight.” This is the language of the world, not of the Church. The true danger is not that women may suffer physical complications from mifepristone; the true danger is that they — and the doctors, pharmacists, and judges who facilitate this slaughter — will suffer eternal damnation. As Our Lord warned: “Fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell” (Matthew 10:28).
The Heresy of “States’ Rights” and the Illusion of Political Solutions
Dannenfelser laments the “states-only strategy” as an “abject failure” and calls for federal action. This reveals the inherent contradiction of the pro-life movement: it seeks to use the machinery of a godless state to achieve a moral end. But the state, as currently constituted, is not neutral — it is actively hostile to the Church. Pius IX condemned the proposition that “the civil power has authority to rescind, declare and render null, solemn conventions… entered into with the Apostolic See” (Proposition 43 of the Syllabus). The United States has never had a concordat with the Holy See, and its entire legal order is predicated on the separation of Church and State — a doctrine condemned by Gregory XVI in Mirari Vos (1832) and by Pius IX in Proposition 55 of the Syllabus.
The only true solution is the Social Kingship of Christ, as proclaimed by Pius XI. Until nations publicly recognize Jesus Christ as their King and submit their laws to the governance of the Church, every “pro-life victory” will be temporary and illusory. The Supreme Court’s temporary stay is not a setback — it is a revelation of the true nature of the beast.
The Duty of the Faithful
The faithful must not place their hope in courts, elections, or political movements. Their duty is to pray, do penance, and work for the restoration of the Church’s authority over society. The Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass must be offered for the conversion of sinners — including the judges, legislators, and “Catholic” politicians who enable this slaughter. The Rosary must be recited with fervor, not as a magical charm, but as a means of obtaining the graces necessary for the triumph of the Immaculate Heart — not the false “Fatima” message, but the true triumph of Mary as the Destroyer of All Heresies.
The article concludes with a call for the Supreme Court to “allow the 5th Circuit’s ruling to stand.” But even if it did, it would not end abortion — it would merely inconvenience the killers. The only end to abortion will come when the Church reigns supreme, when the sacraments are administered validly and licitly, and when every nation confesses that “Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” (Philippians 2:11).
Ad maiorem Dei gloriam.
