Catholic News Agency reports on recent pro-life legislative efforts in North America. U.S. senators introduced a bill to make abortion training opt-in for medical residents, citing conscience protections. Undercover videos exposed Canadian abortionists performing late-term abortions without medical justification. North Dakota’s Supreme Court reinstated a near-total abortion ban after legal challenges. Senator John Cornyn urged maintaining Hyde Amendment protections in 2026 appropriations. The report frames these as pro-life victories while ignoring the conciliar sect’s complicity in the culture of death.
Naturalism Masquerading as Moral Progress
The article celebrates legislative measures that merely mitigate symptoms of moral collapse while ignoring their root cause: society’s rejection of Regnum Christi (the reign of Christ). Pius XI’s encyclical Quas Primas (1925) establishes that “nations will not have peace until they meekly submit to Christ’s scepter” (§1). Yet nowhere does the “pro-life” movement demand what Leo XIII called the “publicum Christi Regnum” (public reign of Christ) through Quas Primas (§18).
These legislative efforts operate within the modernist framework condemned by Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors, which rejects the idea that “the Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church” (Error 55). The bill’s “opt-in” provision for abortion training accepts the fundamental lie that abortion constitutes legitimate healthcare—a notion Pius XII condemned as “intrinsece inhonestum” (intrinsically dishonorable) in his 1951 address to midwives.
Conscience Rights as Trojan Horse
The Conscience Protections for Medical Residents Act reveals the bankruptcy of post-conciliar ethics. While Senator Cornyn claims to defend “moral or religious beliefs,” the legislation reduces morality to subjective preference rather than objective divine law. St. Pius X’s Lamentabili Sane condemned the modernist error that “dogmas are not truths of divine origin but interpretations of religious facts by the human mind” (Proposition 22).
True Catholic action would follow Pius XI’s directive in Quas Primas: “Rulers and legitimate superiors must be convinced that they exercise authority not so much by their own right as by the mandate of the Divine King” (§19). Instead, legislators treat abortion as a matter of personal choice rather than an abomination demanding society’s total eradication.
Canadian Apostasy Exposed
The Canadian undercover investigation unwittingly demonstrates the fruits of conciliar collapse. When Alissa Golob’s videos show abortionists dismissing medical necessity for late-term abortions, they expose the logical end of Vatican II’s Dignitatis Humanae—the false “right to religious freedom” enabling moral relativism. The 1907 Lamentabili Sane condemned precisely this naturalism: “Revelation was merely man’s self-awareness of his relationship to God” (Proposition 20).
That Canada permits abortion through all nine months flows directly from its bishops’ abandonment of Pius IX’s condemnation: “Every man is free to embrace and profess that religion which he shall consider true” (Syllabus of Errors, Error 15). The conciliar sect’s Canadian hierarchy—appointed by antipopes—hasn’t solemnly excommunicated a single abortionist or politician in decades.
North Dakota’s Inadequate Victory
North Dakota’s reinstated abortion ban contains rape/incest exceptions—direct contradiction of Catholic teaching. The Council of Trent’s 24th Session canon 5 anathematizes those who claim “the guilt is removed because of the circumstances of the sin.” Pius XII’s 1951 address to midwives reaffirmed: “The direct killing of an innocent person… is never permitted.”
This legislation exemplifies the conciliar sect’s failed strategy of incrementalism. As Archbishop Lefebvre warned in 1987: “They want us to accept this slow destruction of the Church… in order to bring us into line with Vatican II.” True Catholic lawmakers would follow St. Paul’s injunction: “Nolite conformari huic saeculo” (Do not be conformed to this world) (Romans 12:2), demanding total abolition without exception.
Funding Battles Ignore Ecclesiastical Crisis
Senator Cornyn’s Hyde Amendment defense rings hollow while he operates within a political system recognizing antipopes as religious authorities. The Syllabus of Errors condemns the notion that “kings and princes are exempt from the jurisdiction of the Church” (Error 54). Until legislators demand the publica Religio Catholica (public Catholic religion) mandated by Pius XI’s Quas Primas (§21), their funding restrictions remain temporary bandages on a gangrenous wound.
The article’s silence about the conciliar sect’s complicity proves its bankruptcy. Not one quoted “bishop” appears—because the post-conciliar hierarchy avoids anathema sit like the plague. St. Pius V’s Regnans in Excelsis (1570) excommunicated Queen Elizabeth I for less abortion promotion than today’s Western leaders practice daily. Until modern “pro-lifers” demand restoration of all Catholic social order—not just abortion restrictions—their efforts constitute mere political theater masking deeper apostasy.
