Chile’s President-Elect Compromises Catholic Truth with Secular Pragmatism
EWTN News (December 27, 2025) profiles José Antonio Kast, Chile’s president-elect, as a “pro-life Catholic” who champions family values while employing secular arguments against abortion. The article praises Kast’s personal story – his parents’ rejection of contraceptive ideology leading to his birth – and his political battles against Chile’s abortion laws. While acknowledging Kast’s verbal opposition to gender ideology and abortion, the report reveals his systematic avoidance of Catholic doctrinal foundations in public discourse.
