Catholic News Agency reports on “Peace in the Womb” caroling events outside abortion facilities organized by the Pro-Life Action League, claiming two women chose life after hearing Christmas carols at Illinois and Wisconsin facilities. The article quotes spokesman Matthew Yonke describing this as bringing “the Christmas message of peace and joy to the darkness of abortion clinics,” while Washington organizer Richard Bray emphasized an empty manger symbolizing “what an abortion does.”
Naturalistic Reduction of Spiritual Warfare
The caroling initiative dangerously reduces the Church’s battle against abortion to sentimental emotional manipulation through Christmas nostalgia. While claiming to bring “peace,” the organizers ignore Quas Primas‘ declaration that “the peace of Christ can only be found in the Kingdom of Christ” (Pius XI, 1925). Nowhere do they demand public submission to Christ the King as the only solution to abortion – the ultimate rebellion against divine authority.
This therapeutic approach mirrors the modernist error condemned in Lamentabili Sane (1907) where “the dogmas of faith should be understood according to their practical function” (Proposition 26). The article celebrates women keeping babies without requiring their sacramental reconciliation – as if avoiding murder alone suffices without repentance for the consensus in peccatum (agreement in sin).
Silence on Ecclesial Crisis Enabling Abortion
The carolers’ “pro-life” posturing becomes complicit in evil by never identifying the conciliar sect’s responsibility for abortion’s proliferation. Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors condemned the notion that “the Church ought to be separated from the State” (Proposition 55) – the very secularist principle enabling abortion’s legalization. Yet these carolers sing outside murder mills while accepting the anti-church structures that tolerate abortionists like “Pope” Leo XIV’s refusal to excommunicate Catholic politicians supporting child sacrifice.
When Yonke claims they’re asking people to “make a connection to the womb,” he ignores how Vatican II’s Dignitatis Humanae enabled the culture of death by granting false religions equal rights. The article’s quoted “sidewalk counselors” epitomize the naturalism Pius X condemned when warning that modernists “lay the axe not to the branches and shoots, but to the very root of faith” (Pascendi Dominici Gregis, 1907).
Dangerous Symbolic Subterfuge
Bray’s empty manger symbolism constitutes theological malpractice by equating the Incarnation with natural birth. The creche represents Verbum caro factum est (the Word made flesh) – God’s entrance into history to redeem sinners through the Cross. Comparing this to an aborted child’s “empty space” reduces the supernatural to sentimental loss, ignoring that abortion rejects both natural law and divine revelation.
The article’s focus on “unplanned pregnancies” as analogous to Mary’s Fiat dangerously implies the Holy Spirit’s overshadowing (Luke 1:35) parallels illicit conceptions. This echoes Modernist proposition 20 from Lamentabili that “revelation was merely man’s self-awareness of his relationship to God” – reducing the Annunciation to a psychological experience.
Conclusion: Carols Cannot Atone for Cowardice
While the article boasts of two “rescues,” it conceals how these carolers operate within conciliar structures that have destroyed Catholic resistance. True defenders of life would follow Archbishop Lefebvre’s uncompromising stance against abortion collaborators rather than singing seasonal ditties approved by modernist occupiers. Until these protesters demand the restoration of Christ’s Social Kingship and the Mass of Ages as the only antidote to child sacrifice, their carols are but vox clamantis in deserto (a voice crying in the wilderness) – echoing the empty symbolism of the neo-church they refuse to condemn.
