Abortion Epidemic Exposes the Collapse of Christendom’s Moral Order
Catholic News Agency reports England and Wales have reached an unprecedented 270,000 annual abortions – an 11% increase from 2022 – with chemical abortions constituting nearly 90% of these murders. The report simultaneously notes Heartbeat International’s pregnancy helpline received 1.3 million calls in 2025, while South Carolina legislators proposed new pro-life measures and California Governor Gavin Newsom refused to extradite an abortionist to Louisiana. This juxtaposition of statistical horror and naturalistic “solutions” reveals the utter bankruptcy of post-conciliar approaches to societal decay.
The Cult of Death as Natural Consequence of Apostasy
The report’s dry statistics conceal the metaphysical reality: England’s 12.3 abortions per 1,000 women constitute ritual sacrifice to the modern Moloch. When Pius XI condemned contraception in Casti Connubii (1930), he warned precisely of this escalation: “Those who take the lives of the unborn commit a crime that cries out to heaven for vengeance.” The 40% repeat abortion rate demonstrates how contraceptive mentality inevitably breeds extermination.
“The abortion rate is estimated to be at 12.3 per 1,000 women in 2023, almost doubling the 2013 rate”
This exponential growth follows Vatican II’s silence on Casti Connubii and the 1965 Gaudium et Spes which abandoned Pius XII’s constant anti-contraception teaching. The conciliar sect’s subsequent refusal to condemn abortion as mysterium iniquitatis enabled this holocaust. As St. Augustine declared: “Custom without truth is but aged error” (Consuetudo sine veritate vetustas erroris).
Naturalistic “Solutions” as Diabolical Subversion
Heartbeat International’s 1.3 million helpline calls and South Carolina’s legislative proposals represent humanistic imitations of Catholic action. While commendable in natural terms, they ignore the supernatural causes and remedies. The article never mentions:
- The necessity of sacramental confession for abortionists and accomplices
- The obligation of public reparation and penance for nations permitting child murder
- The eternal consequences for souls involved in abortion
Pius XI’s Quas Primas (1925) established Christ’s social kingship precisely to combat such naturalism: “When once men recognize… that Christ has been given all power in heaven and on earth, and that men must obey His commands… a far-reaching reform will follow.” Governor Newsom’s refusal to extradite an abortionist proves Christ’s law means nothing to modern rulers.
Language as Weapon of Deception
The report employs the conciliar sect’s deceptive terminology:
- “Abortion pills” rather than chemical weapons against the unborn
- “Very young unborn children” instead of human beings with immortal souls
- “Pro-life bills” without defining life’s sanctity from conception
Contrast this with Pius XII’s 1951 Address to Midwives: “Every human being, even the child in the mother’s womb, has the right to life directly from God… No human authority has the power to destroy this right.” The article’s failure to condemn abortion as homicidium perfectum (complete homicide) reveals its doctrinal impotence.
The Silence Screams Apostasy
Nowhere does the article mention:
- The duty of Catholic rulers to outlaw abortion under pain of mortal sin
- The canonical excommunication latae sententiae for abortionists (1917 CIC 2350 §1)
- The necessity of restoring Christ’s social reign through Catholic monarchy
As Leo XIII’s Libertas Praestantissimum (1888) teaches: “Laws only bind when they conform with eternal law.” South Carolina’s rape exceptions and Newsom’s “war on women” rhetoric both reject this principle. The report’s focus on legislative tinkering ignores the only solution: Instaurare omnia in Christo (To restore all things in Christ).
Conclusion: Return to Catholic Order or Perish
These abortion statistics prove Christ’s prophetic words: “If they do these things when the wood is green, what will happen when it is dry?” (Luke 23:31). The conciliar sect’s abandonment of Quas Primas‘ social kingship doctrine created the vacuum filled by today’s culture of death. Unless nations fulfill their officium religionis (duty of religion) by establishing Catholicism as state religion and outlawing all sins crying to heaven, they invite divine chastisement. As the Syllabus of Errors condemned proposition #77: “It is no longer expedient that Catholicism be held as the only state religion.” England’s abortion mills prove this error’s horrific consequences.
