EWTN News portal reports that Liechtenstein’s Hereditary Prince Alois has vetoed a parliamentary bill legalizing abortion up to twelve weeks, invoking the protection of unborn life as a fundamental legal value. The Landtag passed the measure by a single vote, 13 to 12, but the principality’s constitution requires the reigning prince’s approval for any law to take effect. The “apostolic administrator” of the “Archdiocese of Vaduz,” “Bishop” Benno Elbs, issued a statement endorsing the existing legislation and calling for “counseling and practical help for parents.” The article cites the heretic John Paul II’s 1995 encyclical Evangelium Vitae as authoritative “Church teaching.” While the prince’s veto aligns with the natural law, the conciliar media frames this as a “pro-life” triumph within the false ecumenical paradigm, quoting an antipope and a usurper bishop to legitimize the neo-church’s claim to moral authority.
The Conciliar Media’s Instrumentalization of Natural Law
The EWTN News portal—an organ of the conciliar sect—presents the veto as a victory for the “pro-life” cause, yet the very vocabulary betrays the naturalistic reductionism of the post-conciliar revolution. The article speaks of “fundamental legal value” and “human rights” rather than the jus divinum and the lex aeterna from which all true law derives. Prince Alois, a temporal ruler, acts on the basis of natural reason:
the proposed reform is not compatible with ensuring adequate protection of unborn life as a fundamental legal value
This is the language of lex naturalis, not of supernatural faith. The conciliar sect seizes upon this natural-law argument to mask its own apostasy, pretending that the “Catholic Church” still teaches authoritatively through the mouth of a false “pope” and his false “bishops.” The prince’s veto, however commendable on the natural plane, is stripped of its supernatural context: the Social Reign of Christ the King (Regnum Christi), which alone guarantees the integral protection of life. As 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 Liechtenstein constitution, which makes the prince’s approval necessary, is a relic of Christendom; the conciliar narrative empties it of its divine reference.
The Usurper “Bishop” and the Silence on Supernatural Truth
The article cites “Bishop” Benno Elbs, “apostolic administrator of the Archdiocese of Vaduz,” as a religious authority. This man holds no jurisdiction in the Catholic Church; he is a functionary of the neo-church, ordained in the invalid Novus Ordo rite, subject to the antipope Leo XIV (Robert Prevost). His statement—
the existing rules had proven themselves and that protecting unborn life must go hand in hand with counseling and practical help for parents
—is pure pastoral pragmatism. Not a word on the malum in se of abortion, not a word on the state of grace, the sacraments, or the final judgment. The Salus animarum is replaced by “counseling and practical help.” This is the hermeneutic of continuity in action: the language of the Gospel is diluted into social work. The true Church, as Pius IX condemned in the Syllabus (Error 55), cannot be separated from the State; the neo-church “bishop” accepts the separation and offers only “accompaniment.”
John Paul II and Evangelium Vitae: A Heretic’s Encyclopedia of Error
The article’s most egregious offense is the citation of John Paul II as “St. John Paul II” and the presentation of Evangelium Vitae as authoritative magisterium:
With the authority conferred by Christ upon Peter and his successors, I therefore affirm, in communion with the bishops of the Catholic Church, that the direct and voluntary killing of an innocent human being is always a grave moral offense
John Paul II (Karol Wojtyła) was a manifest heretic who taught religious liberty, false ecumenism, and the evolution of dogma—condemned by St. Pius X in Lamentabili Sane Exitu (propositions 58, 59, 64, 65) and by Pius IX in the Syllabus (Errors 15, 16, 17, 77, 78, 79, 80). A heretic cannot be Pope; ipso facto he loses all jurisdiction (St. Robert Bellarmine, De Romano Pontifice; Canon 188.4, 1917 Code; Pope Paul IV, Cum ex Apostolatus Officio). His “canonization” by the antipope Bergoglio is null. Evangelium Vitae itself is tainted by the modernist principle of “gradualness of the law” and the personalist phenomenology that obscures the objective moral order. To quote it as “Church teaching” is to legitimize the usurpation of the Holy See.
The Democratic Idolatry Behind the Bill
The article reveals the democratic idol that drives the neo-church’s engagement with the world:
The initiative gathered 4,970 signatures, nearly a quarter of eligible voters. Liechtenstein’s parliament, the Landtag, approved it by 13-12 and, by the same margin, declined to put it to a popular vote
The “voice of the people” (vox populi) is treated as the source of law, contrary to the Catholic principle that auctoritas a Deo (authority comes from God). The 2011 referendum, where voters “narrowly rejected legalizing abortion after Alois said he would veto it,” and the 2012 vote rejecting removal of the prince’s veto, are presented as democratic triumphs. In reality, they are exercises in popular sovereignty—the very error condemned by Pius IX (Syllabus, Error 39: “The State… is endowed with a certain right not circumscribed by any limits”) and by Leo XIII (Immortale Dei). The conciliar sect, having embraced religious liberty (Dignitatis Humanae), has no grounds to oppose the democratic will; it can only offer “pastoral accompaniment” to the slaughter.
The Systemic Apostasy: Even “Victories” Serve the Revolution
The veto is a temporary reprieve, not a restoration. The prince supports “better information, counseling, and support for women”—the same language as the “pro-life” NGOs that operate within the Masonic framework of the United Nations and the European Court of Human Rights. The neo-church’s “bishops” and “popes” have long since surrendered the Kingship of Christ over temporal society. Pius XI instituted the Feast of Christ the King precisely to combat “the secularism of our times, so-called laicism” (Quas Primas). Today, the conciliar sect celebrates that feast (transferred to the last Sunday of the liturgical year to obscure its eschatological meaning) while its “prelates” dialogue with the architects of the culture of death. The Liechtenstein episode demonstrates the total bankruptcy of the “pro-life” movement when divorced from the Integral Faith: it becomes a political pressure group, negotiating “exceptions” and “counseling” within the Masonic order.
Conclusion: No Salvation in the Neo-Church’s Narrative
The EWTN article is a masterpiece of conciliar deception: it reports a natural-law victory by a Catholic prince, then immediately subordinates it to the false magisterium of a heretic “pope” and a usurper “bishop.” The faithful are led to believe that the “Catholic Church” is still the guardian of life, while the true Church—Ecclesia Catholica—endures only in those who hold the integral faith, reject the novelties of Vatican II, and recognize the vacancy of the Holy See since 1958. Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus. The prince’s veto delays the legislative murder; it does not convert the nation. Conversion requires the Social Kingship of Christ, proclaimed by the true hierarchy, not the “pastoral accompaniment” of the neo-church. Let no Catholic be deceived: the conciliar sect uses the unborn as propaganda for its own legitimacy.
