The Naturalistic Idolatry of Family: How the Conciliar Register Baptizes Demographic Suicide
The NCR portal publishes a piece by Alyssa Murphy extolling the sociological benefits of siblings, citing economist Catherine Pakaluk’s book *Hannah’s Children* and Tim Carney’s *Family Unfriendly*. The article reduces the supernatural institution of marriage to a factory for “character formation” and “mental health,” citing secular psychological studies on birth order and “peacemakers” while ignoring the dogmatic ends of matrimony. **This is not a defense of the Catholic family; it is the secularization of the domestic church, offering naturalistic palliatives for a demographic collapse caused by the conciliar hierarchy’s betrayal of *Humanae Vitae* and the Social Reign of Christ the King.**
