Abortion Ballot Measures Expose Modernist Apostasy in “Catholic” Media
The Catholic News Agency article (January 22, 2026) surveys upcoming state ballot measures concerning abortion, noting four states considering constitutional protections for abortion and only one (Missouri) offering a measure to restrict it. While mentioning Virginia bishops’ opposition to their state’s abortion amendment, the analysis remains trapped within the naturalistic framework of conciliar sect politics, never invoking lex divina (divine law) or the immutable condemnation of child-murder. The report exemplifies the neo-church’s surrender to democratic heresy – treating abortion as a matter for popular vote rather than divine mandate.
The Naturalistic Framing of Child Sacrifice
The article reduces abortion to a political contest between “pro-abortion” and “pro-life” factions, declaring without theological qualms that “Virginia protects life after 28 weeks” as if states possessed authority to license murder during earlier gestational periods. This reflects the conciliar sect’s embrace of the Americanist heresy condemned by Leo XIII in Testem Benevolentiae (1899), which warned against adapting Church teaching to “civil and political affairs.”
Nowhere does the analysis invoke Pius XI’s Casti Connubii (1930), which anathematizes all abortion as “the shameful murder of innocents.” The silence proves deliberate when the text describes Oregon’s abortion policy: “does not protect life at any stage” – a phrase that should scream sacrilegium (sacrilege) but instead reads as neutral reportage. The naturalistic language (“postpartum care,” “fertility care”) masks the blood ritual of Moloch worship disguised as healthcare.
Episcopal Cowardice Masked as Opposition
Virginia’s conciliar sect bishops receive passing mention for condemning their state’s amendment, yet the article omits their actual arguments – likely because they avoid the Catholic position. Traditional Catholic bishops would thunder like St. John Chrysostom: “Homilia 24 in Epistulam ad Romanos” (Homily 24 on Romans) declaring abortionists “worse than murderers,” not issue bureaucratic press releases.
The bishops’ vague pledge to “fight” stands in stark contrast to Pius IX’s Syllabus of Errors (1864), which condemned the proposition that “the Church ought to be separated from the State, and the State from the Church” (Error 55). Authentic shepherds would demand Catholic politicians be denied sacraments, per Canon 855 (1917 Code), rather than permit them to vote pro-abortion while receiving communion.
Omission of Eternal Consequences
A damning silence envelops the spiritual realities at stake. The article never mentions:
- Abortion constitutes mortal sin for all involved (mother, doctors, legislators), risking eternal damnation (Council of Trent, Session VI, Canon 27)
- Unbaptized infants’ exclusion from Beatific Vision (Council of Florence, Laetentur Caeli, 1439)
- The blood guilt incurred by nations permitting child sacrifice (Psalm 106:38)
This reflects the conciliar sect’s abandonment of extra ecclesiam nulla salus (no salvation outside the Church). Pius XII’s Mystici Corporis Christi (1943) explicitly included unborn children among those needing baptismal regeneration – a doctrine suppressed by the neo-church’s universalism.
Demonic Distortion of Personhood Debate
Montana’s failed personhood amendment receives sympathy but inadequate analysis. The article laments its narrow defeat while ignoring how even this proposal contained fatal flaws: allowing exceptions for rape/incest before 12 weeks. This echoes the conciliar sect’s embrace of proportionalism condemned by Pius XII in his 1951 address to midwives: “Never may human life be exposed to experiments.”
The amendment’s provision excusing “unintentional” maternal harm to unborn children directly contradicts St. Thomas Aquinas (Summa Theologica II-II Q64 A8): “Illicitum est quod homo intendat occidere hominem ut sanet seipsum” (It is unlawful to kill a man to save oneself). Modern canonists like Augustine Lehmkuhl (1902) confirmed no circumstances justify abortion – not even to save the mother.
The Missouri Compromise as Heretical Half-Measure
Missouri’s proposed repeal of their 2024 abortion amendment draws praise despite permitting abortion until 12 weeks in rape cases. This violates multiple principles:
“The life of each is equally sacred… no man, no human authority, no science, no medical, eugenic, social, economic or moral ‘indication’ can establish or grant title to dispose directly of an innocent human life.” (Pius XII, Address to Catholic Midwives, October 29, 1951)
The measure’s prohibition on “gender transitions” for minors – while laudable – becomes poisoned by association with abortion exceptions. This mirrors the conciliar sect’s tactic of mixing truth with error, condemned in Pope St. Pius X’s Lamentabili Sane (1907) as Modernist “evolution of dogma.”
The Great Silence: No Call to Arms
Most damningly, the article never instructs Catholics to:
- Withhold votes from pro-abortion politicians (St. Thomas Aquinas, De Regno I.6)
- Deny communion to pro-abortion “Catholic” legislators (Council of Trent, Session XIII, Canon 11)
- Establish Catholic enclaves under Christ the King (Pius XI, Quas Primas, 1925)
This reveals the neo-church’s surrender to the anti-Christian state. As Archbishop Lefebvre warned before his apostasy: “They have accepted religious liberty” (ECONE Address, 1976) – the very error condemned by Gregory XVI in Mirari Vos (1832).
Conclusion: Democratic Idolatry Replaces Divine Law
The article’s framework – tallying states like sports teams – exemplifies the conciliar sect’s worship of democracy over divine sovereignty. Pius VI condemned this in Auctorem Fidei (1794), anathematizing those who substitute “the rights of man” for God’s laws. Until Catholics restore public veneration of Christ the King and reject all abortion as diabolical – regardless of gestational age or circumstances – they remain complicit in Babylon’s child sacrifices. The ballot box cannot absolve what only the baptismal font and sacramental confession can cleanse.
