The EWTN News portal, a primary propaganda organ of the conciliar sect occupying the Vatican, publishes a “pro-life roundup” celebrating the nomination of Todd Blanche for Attorney General and his pledge to enforce the Comstock Act, alongside reports of a congressional rally to defund Planned Parenthood, the abortion giant’s $47 million electoral war chest, and ballot initiatives in Idaho and Missouri. This litany of political maneuvering, legislative band-aids, and democratic plebiscites is presented as the frontline of the “pro-life” cause. The article exposes the complete capitulation of the neo-church hierarchy to naturalistic activism: they have replaced the Social Kingship of Christ the King (Pius XI, Quas Primas) with lobbying, lawsuits, and the idolatry of the ballot box.
The Comstock Act: A Secular Idol Replacing the Social Reign of Christ
The centerpiece of the report is the confirmation hearing of Todd Blanche, nominee for Attorney General under the current administration. When pressed by Senator Ted Cruz, Blanche pledged:
“Yes.”
to “carefully evaluate every lawful action available to ensure the faithful enforcement of the Comstock Act and other federal pro-life acts.” The article notes the Comstock Act of 1873 prohibits mailing “every article or thing designed, adapted, or intended for producing abortion.”
Here lies the theological bankruptcy of the entire “pro-life” movement: it places its hope in a Masonic, naturalistic statute from 1873 rather than the Divine Positive Law and the Canonical Mission of the Church. The Comstock Act is a creature of the liberal state—the very entity condemned by Pius IX in the Syllabus Errorum (Error 39: “The State, as being the origin and source of all rights, is endowed with a certain right not circumscribed by any limits”; Error 55: “The Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church”). To beg the secular power to enforce a 19th-century postal statute against chemical abortifacients is to admit that the neo-church has no supernatural authority, no sacramental power, and no divine mandate to bind consciences or govern nations.
Pius XI teaches in Quas Primas: “When God and Jesus Christ… were removed from laws and states and when authority was derived not from God but from men, the foundations of that authority were destroyed… the main reason why some have the right to command and others have the duty to obey was removed.” The “pro-life” strategists, by relying on the Comstock Act, explicitly derive their authority from men (the 1873 Congress) and not from God. They seek to use the strong arm of the secular state—the same state that legalized abortion via Roe and Casey, the same state that funds Planned Parenthood—to now restrict one method of killing. This is not Catholic Action; it is political alchemy, attempting to transmute the lead of liberal legislation into the gold of justice.
Defunding Planned Parenthood: Theatrical Opposition within the Masonic Frame
The article describes a rally on Capitol Hill hosted by Live Action and the “Defund Coalition,” featuring Senator Josh Hawley declaring:
“There is no excuse for Planned Parenthood to be receiving taxpayer money to be carrying out the mutilation of our children… It is absolutely unacceptable and indefensible that a Republican Congress would fund Planned Parenthood.”
Lila Rose adds:
“The American people should not be made to subsidize abortion businesses under the guise of women’s health.”
This is controlled opposition. For fifty years, the “pro-life” movement has voted, lobbied, and rallied, yet Planned Parenthood remains funded, abortion remains legal in most states, and the chemical abortion regime expands. The rally is a liturgical act of the civil religion: it appeases the faithful laity with the illusion of resistance while the neo-church hierarchy—those “bishops” and “cardinals” of the conciliar sect—remain silent on the root cause: the apostasy of the nations from the Kingship of Christ. The Syllabus condemns the error that “Catholics may approve of the system of educating youth unconnected with Catholic faith… and which regards the knowledge of merely natural things” (Error 48). The “pro-life” movement is precisely this: a merely naturalistic system unconnected to the Catholic Faith, relying on “taxpayer money” arguments rather than the Rights of God (Jura Dei).
Where is the call for the conversion of the United States to the Catholic Faith? Where is the demand that the civil power “publicly honor Christ and obey Him” (Quas Primas)? Nowhere. The “pro-life” leaders are Catholics in name only who function as chaplains to the Republican Party, ensuring the faithful waste their spiritual energy on Caesar’s crumbs.
Ballot Initiatives: Subjecting the Divine Law to the Sovereignty of the People
The article reports on two democratic exercises that epitomize the heresy of popular sovereignty condemned by the Syllabus (Error 3: “Human reason… is the sole arbiter of truth and falsehood… it is law to itself”). In Idaho, a ballot initiative seeks to
“legalize abortion until the unborn baby is viable outside of the womb and establish a right to reproductive health decisions about abortion.”
In Missouri, voters will decide on amendments
“that would protect unborn children throughout pregnancy, with some exceptions.”
This is blasphemy masquerading as civic duty. The Fifth Commandment—Non occides—is not subject to a majority vote. The natural law written on the heart (Rom 2:15) is not a policy preference to be ratified or rejected by “Idahoans United for Women and Families” or “Missourians.” By participating in these referenda, the “pro-life” movement formally cooperates in the usurpation of God’s legislative prerogative. They concede the premise of the Enlightenment: that the people are sovereign, not Christ the King. Pius IX condemned the proposition that “The people… is the origin of all rights” (Syllabus, Error 39). Every “pro-life” leader who campaigns for a “Yes” vote on a pro-life amendment or a “No” vote on a pro-abortion amendment is practically denying the Social Kingship of Christ and enthroning the demon of Democracy.
Furthermore, the Missouri “Born Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act” signed by Governor Kehoe establishes charges for killing a child born alive, yet the article admits:
“Abortion is legal in Missouri up to the point of fetal viability… according to the Missouri Constitution.”
This is the schizophrenia of the “pro-life” establishment: they sign a law protecting the survivor of the crime while the constitution they swore to uphold guarantees the right to commit the crime up to viability. They are guardians of the abortion regime, managing its periphery to preserve its core.
The Silent Apostasy: Absence of the Kingship of Christ and the True Mass
The gravest accusation against this article and the movement it represents is its total silence on the supernatural order. There is not a single mention of:
- The Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass (the Unbloody Sacrifice of Calvary) as the sole source of grace to convert hearts.
- The Social Kingship of Christ the King over the United States and its laws.
- The necessity of the Catholic Faith and Baptism for salvation (Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus).
- The invalidity of the Novus Ordo “mass” and the vacancy of the Holy See since 1958, which is the causa causans of the chastisement of abortion.
- The condemnation of Religious Liberty (Dignitatis Humanae) as the source of the “right to abortion.”
The “pro-life” movement is a parachurch NGO funded by the laity, tolerated by the conciliar “bishops” because it diverts energy from the true crisis: the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place (Matt 24:15). The $47 million Planned Parenthood invests in the midterms is a testament to the failure of the political strategy. The neo-church’s “pro-life” industry is a pressure valve releasing the steam of righteous indignation into the sewers of the electoral process.
St. Pius X in Lamentabili Sane Exitu condemned the Modernist error that “Christ did not proclaim any specific, all-encompassing doctrine suitable for all times and peoples, but rather initiated a certain religious movement” (Prop. 59). The “pro-life” movement is exactly this: a religious movement detached from the integral deposit of Faith, adapting itself to the times (political cycles, court nominations, ballot initiatives) rather than converting the times to Christ.
Conclusion: The Only “Pro-Life Act” is the Restoration of All Things in Christ
The EWTN roundup is a chronicle of defeat disguised as victory. Todd Blanche’s pledge to enforce the Comstock Act is a secular procedural promise, not a Catholic act. The rallies are political theater. The ballot initiatives are acts of idolatry. The “Born Alive” acts are hypocritical band-aids on a gangrenous limb.
The integral Catholic Faith demands not “pro-life laws” but the Catholic State; not “defunding Planned Parenthood” but the excommunication of its collaborators (starting with the conciliar “hierarchy” who commune with pro-abortion politicians); not “voting pro-life” but professing the Kingship of Christ in defiance of the liberal order. As Pius XI commanded: “Let rulers of states therefore not refuse public veneration and obedience to the reigning Christ… if they wish to maintain their authority inviolate and contribute to the increase of their homeland’s happiness” (Quas Primas).
Until the neo-church is abandoned, the True Mass restored, and the vacant See acknowledged by the faithful remnant, every “pro-life” victory will be ashes in the mouth—a Masonic distraction from the only solution: Instaurare omnia in Christo.
