America’s Abortion Schism: Statistical Illusions Versus Catholic Truth
EWTN News reports on a Marist poll commissioned by the Knights of Columbus, claiming 67% of Americans support abortion limits despite only 37% identifying as “pro-life.” The survey frames this as a “consensus” for “restrictions,” obscuring the grave moral bankruptcy of incrementalist compromises. The conciliar sect’s “Knights of Columbus” proudly cite antipope Leo XIV’s (Prevost) vague naturalistic platitudes about life as a “priceless gift”—a far cry from Quas Primas’s demand for “the public reign of Christ the King” over nations.
Theological Collapse of “Pro-Life” Rhetoric
The poll’s central deception lies in reducing lex naturalis to polling data. While 62% embrace the “pro-choice” label, the article celebrates that only 32% support unlimited abortion—as if allowing any child-killing were not apostasy from divine law. Pius XI’s Casti Connubii condemned abortion “however early it may be” as an “unspeakable crime” (no. 64). Yet the Knights’ statement praises antipope Prevost’s diluted language about a “fundamental ethical imperative” to “welcome” life—terminology deliberately stripped of ex cathedra authority.
Worse, the survey legitimizes exceptions for rape or incest—a position condemned by Pope Pius XII: “The life of an innocent person is inviolable… no circumstance, no law, no pretext can make it licit to kill an innocent human being” (Address to Midwives, 1951). By promoting such exceptions, the Knights’ poll implicitly endorses the conciliar sect’s moral relativism, which St. Pius X anathematized in Pascendi as “the synthesis of all heresies” (no. 39).
Naturalism Disguised as “Consensus”
Poll director Barbara Carvalho asserts Americans want abortion “limited yet include exceptions”—a naturalistic fallacy equating popular opinion with moral truth. The Syllabus of Errors condemned precisely this error: “Human reason, without any reference to God, is the sole arbiter of truth and falsehood” (Error 3). Nowhere does the article mention Quas Primas’s warning that nations rejecting Christ’s kingship “will have no peace” (no. 18), nor Pius IX’s condemnation of those who “equate the Christian religion with false religions” (Syllabus, Error 17).
The Knights’ collaboration with Marist—an institution steeped in modernist academia—exposes their surrender to secular methodology. True Catholic social analysis begins with St. Paul’s admonition: “Be not conformed to this world” (Romans 12:2), not poll-driven “pastoral strategies.”
Silence on the Supernatural
Glaringly absent is any mention of repentance, grace, or the eternal consequences of abortion. The article reduces the issue to political “restrictions” while ignoring sacramental reality: Those procuring or performing abortions incur latae sententiae excommunication (Codex Iuris Canonici 1917, can. 2350). The Knights boast of supporting pregnancy centers—a corporal work of mercy—yet say nothing of the spiritual works of admonishing sinners and instructing the ignorant.
This silence reflects the conciliar sect’s abandonment of extra Ecclesiam nulla salus. As Pope Innocent III declared at Lateran IV: “There is but one universal Church of the faithful, outside which no one at all is saved” (Constitution 1). By contrast, antipope Prevost’s quoted platitudes reduce the Church’s mission to a humanitarian NGO.
Apostate “Knights” and Masonic Infiltration
The Knights of Columbus’ decline into modernism mirrors the broader apostasy. Founded by Bl. Michael McGivney in 1882 to defend Catholic families, they now fundraise for conciliar structures that undermine the faith. Their poll’s focus on “exceptions” and “conscience protections” echoes the 2023 “Synod on Synodality”—a Masonic project to democratize doctrine.
True Catholics recognize such compromises as condemned by Pius IX: “Those who hold that God must be worshipped with some form of cult… are not to be disturbed” is an error leading to “the perversion of all truths” (Syllabus, Error 15).
Conclusion: No Compromise With Moloch
This poll—and EWTN’s uncritical reporting of it—exemplifies the neo-church’s betrayal. The article’s celebration of “67% support limits” ignores St. Augustine’s warning: “Wrong is wrong even if everyone is doing it; right is right even if no one is doing it.” Until the Knights denounce all abortion as homicide and demand civil penalties for it under Christ the King, their “pro-life” posturing remains a deadly illusion.
As Archbishop Lefebvre warned before his own compromise: “We are not some sort of ‘lobby’… Our Lord did not come to bring a political solution” (1977). Only integral Catholicism—not polls, not “dialogue”—will end America’s bloodstained descent into barbarism.
