Bishop Cozzens and the Pro-Life Movement: A Case Study in Doctrinal Neutrality and Spiritual Bankruptcy
NC Register portal reports that on March 29, 2026, “Bishop” Andrew Cozzens of the Diocese of Crookston addressed the closing of a 40 Days for Life campaign in Moorhead, Minnesota, sharing a personal testimony about his mother’s refusal to abort him despite medical recommendations. The article presents Cozzens as a heroic pro-life witness and frames the abortion issue primarily through the lens of “human dignity” and cultural transformation, while remaining entirely silent on the supernatural dimensions of the question — the state of grace, mortal sin, excommunication, and the Church’s judicial authority over the faithful.
