US Bishops’ Novena for the Unborn: A Masked Betrayal of Catholic Doctrine
The Catholic News Agency portal (January 6, 2026) reports that the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) has invited Catholics to pray a “9 Days for Life” novena from January 16-24, ostensibly to mark the Day of Prayer for the Legal Protection of Unborn Children on January 22. This annual event, now in its 14th year, claims to reach “hundreds of thousands of people in over 100 countries” with prayers to end abortion and build a “culture of life.” Such theatrical displays of piety cannot mask the doctrinal bankruptcy of an episcopal conference operating under the authority of the post-conciliar sect.
