Rome’s Pro-Life March: A Naturalistic Protest in a World That Has Rejected Christ the King
EWTN News reports that on June 13, 2026, thousands gathered in Rome for the annual “Scegliamo della Vita” (Let’s Choose Life) March, opposing Italy’s abortion laws and potential euthanasia legislation. Prominent advocate Maria Rachele Ruiu stated they want to show that “choosing and protecting life is not only right, important, and necessary but also beautiful,” while spokesperson Massimo Gandolfini emphasized that “the right to life is the right that underpins every other right of a civil society and a democratic society.” The article presents secular arguments about human dignity and civil rights while remaining conspicuously silent about the supernatural foundations of the right to life, the sacramental order, and the Church’s divine mission — revealing the fundamentally naturalistic character of even well-intentioned Catholic activism within the conciliar paradigm.
