Massachusetts Removes All Abortion Limits: Conciliar ‘Hierarchy’ Paralyzed by Naturalism
The National Catholic Register — the flagship organ of the EWTN empire — reports that the Massachusetts legislature has passed Bill H.5595, stripping away every legal restraint on the slaughter of the unborn up to the moment of birth, substituting the immutable Law of God for the arbitrary “professional judgment of the physician.” The measure awaits only the signature of Governor Maura Healey, a militant advocate of child sacrifice. In response, the conciliar “bishops” of the Bay State issued a statement branding the bill “gravely immoral” and urging Catholics “to pray for a renewal of reverence for all human life.” Meanwhile, the professional “pro-life” class, represented by SBA Pro-Life America, demands a federal legislative solution, lamenting the failure of the “states-only” strategy. This entire spectacle — the legislative triumph of Moloch, the bureaucratic whimper of the usurping “hierarchy,” and the naturalistic political fantasies of the “pro-life” movement — manifests the utter theological bankruptcy of the post-conciliar order, which has abandoned the Regnum Christi for the city of man.
The Legislative Enthronement of Moloch
The cited article relates that the Massachusetts Senate, following the House, approved a measure declaring that “a late-term abortion may be done based upon ‘the professional judgment of the physician’ performing it.” The language is deliberately clinical, bureaucratic, and sterile — the Newspeak of the abortionist. It replaces the previous statutory fig leaves — “life or ‘physical or mental health’ of the mother,” “fatal condition,” “extraordinary medical interventions” — with a blank check for feticide. This is not merely the removal of restrictions; it is the positive legalization of murder as a medical right.
The article notes this would make Massachusetts the “11th state to impose no limits whatsoever on abortion.” The number is irrelevant; the principle is absolute. The civil power, which the Apostle teaches is the minister Dei tibi in bonum (Rom 13:4) — the minister of God to thee for good — has formally declared itself the minister of Satan for evil. Pope Pius XI, in Quas Primas, condemned precisely this apostasy of the State: “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 Massachusetts statute is a formal, legislative act of deicidium — the killing of God in the person of the innocent, who bear His image. It fulfills the prophecy of the Syllabus of Pius IX: “The State, as being the origin and source of all rights, is endowed with a certain right not circumscribed by any limits” (Error 39), and “The civil law prevails” over the divine (Error 42).
The Conciliar ‘Episcopacy’: Silent Dogs That Cannot Bark
The most damning element of the report is the reaction of the conciliar “bishops.” The article quotes their July 29 statement: “The proposed elimination of any legal restraint on late-term abortion is, in our judgement, a radical measure which is gravely immoral.” They “urge Catholics to pray for a renewal of reverence for all human life.” That is the sum total of their “pastoral” response to the legalization of infanticide in their territory. No canonical censure. No declaration of latae sententiae excommunication for the Catholic legislators who voted for this abomination, nor for the “Catholic” governor who will sign it. No interdiction of the “Catholic” politicians from the Holy Sacrifice. No call for the faithful to resist unjust laws. Only the impotent verb: “pray.”
This silence is not pastoral prudence; it is apostasy. The 1917 Code of Canon Law, the binding law of the true Church, declares in Canon 2350: “Those who procure abortion… incur latae sententiae excommunication reserved to the Holy See.” Canon 2261 forbids the administration of the Sacraments to public sinners. The “bishops” occupy the sees of Boston, Springfield, Worcester, Fall River — they claim the jurisdiction of successors of the Apostles. Yet they act as functionaries of a para-masonic NGO, issuing press releases instead of wielding the potestas iurisdictionis and potestas ordinis to bind and loose.
Why this paralysis? Because, as the Defense of Sedevacantism file demonstrates from Bellarmine, Wernz-Vidal, and Canon 188.4, a manifest heretic loses office ipso facto. The conciliar “bishops” profess the heresies of Vatican II: religious liberty (Dignitatis Humanae), collegiality, ecumenism, the new ecclesiology. They have publicly defected from the Catholic Faith. As Bellarmine teaches (De Romano Pontifice 2:30), “a manifest heretic… ceases to be Pope and head… by which things he may be judged and punished by the Church.” The same principle applies to bishops. They are non-Christiani in the juridical sense; they cannot be heads of the faithful. They have no authority to excommunicate, no authority to teach, no authority to govern. They are, in the words of Pope Celestine I regarding Nestorius, those who “had already brought the divine judgment upon himself” and “could not remove anyone by sentence who himself had already shown that he must be removed.” Their “statement” is the squeak of a hireling fleeing the wolf.
Naturalism Masquerading as ‘Pro-Life’ Strategy
The article highlights the reaction of Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of SBA Pro-Life America: “The GOP must abandon the failed ‘leave it to the states’ position and move the country toward a national protection for unborn children across this nation.” Here lies the second pillar of the anti-Church: the idolatrous faith in the secular State as savior. The “pro-life” movement, born of the conciliar embrace of religious liberty and democratic pluralism, has never sought the Social Kingship of Christ. It seeks only a better statutory regime within the Masonic framework of the Constitution.
Pius XI in Quas Primas diagnosed this error a century ago: “The state must leave the same freedom to the members of Orders… The annual celebration of this solemnity will also remind states that not only private individuals, but also rulers and governments have the duty to publicly honor Christ and obey Him.” The “pro-life” strategy demands a “national protection” from a Congress that opens sessions with prayers to a generic “God,” a Supreme Court that enshrines “liberty” as the right to define one’s own existence (Casey), and a political party that platforms sodomy and usury. This is the error condemned in the Syllabus: “The Roman Pontiff can, and ought to, reconcile himself, and come to terms with progress, liberalism and modern civilization” (Error 80). The “pro-life” leaders are the chaplains of this reconciliation. They do not want the Crown Rights of Christ the King; they want a Republican majority. They do not want the conversion of the nation to the True Faith; they want a statute that the next Democratic Congress will repeal. They fight on the enemy’s terrain, by the enemy’s rules, for a temporal truce, ignoring the eternal war.
The Only Remedy: The Social Kingship of Christ the King
The tragedy in Massachusetts is not primarily political; it is theological and ecclesiological. The true Church — the remnant adhering to the integral Faith, the Mass of Trent, the Canon Law of 1917, the teaching of the pre-1958 Magisterium — knows that pax Christi in regno Christi (the peace of Christ in the Kingdom of Christ). As Pius XI thundered: “If rulers of states therefore not refuse public veneration and obedience to the reigning Christ… everyone will notice how religiously and wisely they will use their authority.” The solution to the abortion holocaust is not a federal bill signed by an antichrist president. It is the consecratio of the nation to the Sacred Heart, the restoration of the Catholic Confessional State, the suppression of public vice by the civil sword in subordination to the spiritual sword, and the canonical severing of the rotten members from the Mystical Body.
The conciliar “bishops” will not do this. They cannot. They are the “abomination of desolation standing in the holy place” (Matt 24:15). The “pro-life” movement will not do this; it is the political arm of the same Modernist revolution. The duty of the Catholic today is not to vote harder, nor to donate to SBA, nor to heed the vacuous “prayer requests” of hirelings. It is to reject the conciliar sect entirely, cleave to the Tradition of the Fathers, assist at the True Sacrifice, and pray and work for the day when the Kingship of Christ is publicly acknowledged, and the laws of Massachusetts — and every state — conform to the Law of God, Non possumus to the contrary.
