The Naturalistic Reduction of Pro-Life Witness

EWTN News reports on the 53rd annual March for Life under the theme “Life Is a Gift,” showcasing participants holding signs such as “Adoption is the option” and “Make More Babies.” While ostensibly promoting life, the event exemplifies the conciliar sect’s systematic evacuation of supernatural content from moral battles. The photographic evidence reveals a disturbing alignment with naturalistic ethics: not one sign references the necessity of baptism for salvation (John 3:5), the Social Kingship of Christ, or the eternal consequences of abortion as mortal sin. Instead, we find secularized slogans like “Pro-Life Feminism” – a direct contradiction of Pius XI’s condemnation in Casti Connubii (1930) that “the emancipation of women” leads to “the ruin of the family.”

Theology of Omission: What the March Doesn’t Say

The article’s fifteen photographs and captions conspicuously avoid the following Catholic truths:

There is no salvation outside the Church (Pope Boniface VIII, Unam Sanctam);

Abortion participants incur latae sententiae excommunication (1917 Code of Canon Law, Can. 2350);

States permitting abortion must be overthrown as tyrannical regimes (Leo XIII, Libertas Praestantissimum).

Instead, we encounter emotional appeals to “joy” and “gift” language – the very “cult of man” condemned by St. Pius X in Pascendi Dominici Gregis (1907). The Virgin Mary’s image is weaponized as sentimental decorum while her title as Destroyer of Heresies is suppressed. This saccharine approach constitutes what Cardinal Pie called “the religion of feeling” – a Protestant error now masquerading as Catholic activism.

Structural Apostasy in Action

EWTN’s coverage exemplifies the conciliar sect’s betrayal through three key omissions:

1. No condemnation of the U.S. regime as fundamentally illegitimate for permitting child murder, contrary to Pius IX’s teaching that “the crime of abortion cannot be subject to human law” (Quanta Cura, 1864).
2. No call for Catholic monarchism as the only divinely ordained government, despite Leo XIII’s teaching that “the Church cannot approve of modern liberties” (Libertas).
3. No distinction between true and false compassion, reducing pro-life work to humanitarianism rather than spiritual warfare against the devil who “was a murderer from the beginning” (John 8:44).

The presence of “Dr. Schmidt Jr.” as a medical authority typifies the scientism condemned in the Syllabus of Errors (Proposition 57): moral theology subordinated to secular expertise. Meanwhile, sisters holding signs participate in the blasphemy of women usurping the public square – a direct violation of St. Paul’s prohibition against women teaching (1 Timothy 2:12).

The Masonic Roots of “Peaceful Protest”

This annual procession follows the Freemasonic template of “peaceful demonstration” perfected during the French Revolution. Consider the evidence:

• The March ends at the U.S. Capitol – temple of the Americanist heresy condemned by Leo XIII (Testem Benevolentiae)
• Ecumenical participation violates Pius XI’s Mortalium Animos (1928): “It is clear why this Apostolic See has never allowed its subjects to take part in the assemblies of non-Catholics.”
• The “rosary waving” constitutes superstitious use of sacramentals, as participants simultaneously endorse a regime that murders 600,000 children annually

As Archbishop Lefebvre warned before his compromise: “We are not here to protest, but to restore Christ’s Kingdom.” The conciliar sect has made its peace with the abortion holocaust through these theatrical displays that change nothing.

The Only Catholic Response

True Catholics must reject this pantomime of opposition. As St. Pius X taught: “The greatest obstacle to the kingdom of Christ is the fiction that the devil reigns not” (Editae Saepe). Until the March demands:

Public consecration of America to Christ the King

Annulment of all anti-life laws under pain of mortal sin

Excommunication of Catholic politicians supporting abortion

– it remains what Cardinal Ottaviani called “a dangerous illusion that evil can be defeated through dialogue.”

The blood of the unborn cries out not for clever signs, but for the restoration of the Social Reign of Our Lord Jesus Christ – a truth absent from EWTN’s entire coverage.
