The National Catholic Register, organ of the conciliar sect, reports on the enactment in Massachusetts of legislation permitting the slaughter of the unborn up to the moment of birth, signed by Governor Maura Healey, a self-professed “Catholic” and open lesbian. The editorial laments the “visceral reaction” provoked by the spectacle of women applauding this infanticide, notes the absence of professional medical oversight, and cites statistics placing the U.S. among the most barbaric nations on earth. It concludes with a plea for divine mercy. This analysis exposes the theological bankruptcy of a commentary that, while decrying the symptom, refuses to diagnose the disease: the apostasy of the conciliar hierarchy from the Social Kingship of Christ and the consequent abandonment of the State to the powers of darkness.
The Naturalistic Reduction of the Supernatural Crisis
The cited editorial operates entirely within the naturalistic framework of the post-conciliar revolution. It speaks of “people of goodwill,” “sanctity of human life” as a generic value, and “conscience-shocking moment of maleficence” — language stripped of the supernatural categories of mortal sin, divine justice, and the rights of Christ the King. Nowhere does it invoke the teaching of Pope Pius XI in Quas Primas (1925): “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 entire human society had to be shaken, because it lacked a stable and strong foundation.” The Register’s silence on the rights of God and the duty of the State to profess the Catholic Faith is not an omission; it is the forma of the conciliar apostasy.
The Scandal of the “Catholic” Governor: Automatic Loss of Membership
The editorial highlights the scandal of Healey’s self-identification as a “proud Catholic” and mentions CatholicVote’s call for excommunication. This reveals the ecclesiological heresy endemic to the conciliar sect: the belief that a manifest heretic and apostate remains a member of the Church until a “bishop” declares otherwise. St. Robert Bellarmine, cited in the Defense of Sedevacantism source, teaches definitively: “A manifest heretic… by that very fact ceases to be Pope and head, just as he ceases to be a Christian and member of the body of the Church.” Bellarmine adds: “Heretics are already outside the Church before excommunication and deprived of all jurisdiction. They have indeed been condemned by their own judgment… that is, they have been cut off from the body of the Church without excommunication.” Healey, by her public profession of sodomy and her legislative enactment of infanticide, has ipso facto severed herself from the Mystical Body. She requires no declaratory sentence; her own judgment (Titus 3:10-11) has condemned her. The Register’s reliance on a future “excommunication” by men who themselves occupy the seats of the usurpers is a theological farce masking the reality that the conciliar hierarchy has no authority to bind or loose.
The Legislative Usurpation of Divine Law: Lex Injusta Non Est Lex
The new Massachusetts law sweeps away all gestational limits, leaving the “decision up to the ‘professional judgment’ of a physician” and prohibiting medical review boards from interfering. This is the positivist nightmare condemned by the Syllabus of Errors (1864): “Moral laws do not stand in need of the divine sanction, and it is not at all necessary that human laws should be made conformable to the laws of nature and receive their power of binding from God” (Error 56); “Right consists in the material fact. All human duties are an empty word, and all human facts have the force of right” (Error 59); “Authority is nothing else but numbers and the sum total of material forces” (Error 60). The law is not a law but an act of violence (vis et injuria) against the lex aeterna and the lex naturalis. As Pope Pius IX taught, “The civil law prevails” over divine law is a condemned error (Error 42). The Register’s question — “why shouldn’t it be subject to the same professional oversight?” — accepts the premise that abortion is a “medical procedure” subject to regulation, rather than a crime crying to heaven for vengeance that no human authority can legitimize.
The Inversion of Womanhood: The Fruit of the “New Feminism”
The editorial correctly identifies the “disturbing inversion of a woman’s natural role as a protector and nurturer of children.” But it fails to trace this inversion to its source: the conciliar “new feminism” and the Gaudium et Spes anthropology that elevated “autonomy” above the ordo creationis. The women applauding Healey — including Kate Dineen, who paid $10,000 to kill her 33-week son — are the logical fruit of a “Church” that has spent sixty years dialoguing with the world instead of converting it. The Syllabus condemned the error that “The Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church” (Error 55). The conciliar sect implemented this error at Vatican II (Dignitatis Humanae, Gaudium et Spes), and the Massachusetts spectacle is the harvest.
The “Pro-Life” Movement: A Controlled Opposition
The editorial cites the Charlotte Lozier Institute statistic that the U.S. is “one of only eight countries that allows abortion without any gestational limits.” This reliance on secular think-tank data rather than the Magisterium typifies the “pro-life” movement’s capitulation to the naturalistic order. It seeks to restrict evil through democratic process — within the framework of the Masonic Republic — rather than demanding the social reign of Christ the King. Pius XI declared: “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.” The Register does not call for the conversion of Massachusetts to the Catholic Faith; it calls for “outrage” and “mercy.” This is spiritual pacifism masquerading as combat.
The Conciliar Sect’s Complicity: Silence on the Kingship of Christ
The most damning omission in the editorial is the total absence of Christ the King. The feast instituted by Pius XI precisely to combat “the secularism of our times, so-called laicism, its errors and wicked endeavors” (Quas Primas) is unknown to the Register’s editors. They do not remind the faithful that “His reign encompasses not only Catholic nations… but His reign encompasses also all non-Christians, so that most truly the entire human race is subject to the authority of Jesus Christ” (Pius XI, citing Leo XIII). They do not declare that the Massachusetts legislature, by enacting this law, has committed the crimen laesae maiestatis against the King of Kings. They do not warn that “at the final judgment, Christ… will very severely avenge these insults, because His royal dignity demands that all relations in the state be ordered on the basis of God’s commandments” (Quas Primas). This silence is the signature of the Antichurch: it has no King but Caesar.
The Symptomatic Level: The Abomination of Desolation in the Legislative Chamber
The video clip of women “smiling and applauding” the signing of an infanticide law is not merely a political event; it is a liturgical act of the counter-church. The “glee” described by the Register is the gaudium diaboli — the joy of the damned anticipating their master’s triumph. The choice of a self-identified “Catholic” lesbian governor as the signatory is a deliberate profanation, a “black mass” of the conciliar sect mocking the Kingship of Christ. The Register’s “visceral reaction” is the reaction of a natural man (animalis homo) who senses the horror but lacks the sensus fidei to name it: apostasia, sacrilegium, deicidium. The plea “May God have mercy on us” is the last resort of those who have forgotten that “God is not mocked” (Gal 6:7) and that misereatur nostri presupposes convertimini — a conversion the conciliar sect no longer preaches.
Conclusion: No Remedy in the Conciliar Order
The Maleficence of Massachusetts is the necessary fruit of the conciliar revolution’s declaration of independence from Christ the King. The Register’s editorial, while materially accurate in its horror, is formally complicit: it directs the faithful to a “pro-life” political strategy that has failed for fifty years because it refuses the sine qua non of victory — the restoration of the Catholic State and the recognition of the vacant See of Peter. As long as the “bishops” of the conciliar sect teach religious liberty, ecumenism, and the separation of Church and State, every legislative victory will be a Pyrrhic illusion, and every defeat a step toward the abyss. Instaurare omnia in Christo — there is no other program, no other hope, no other mercy.
