Jimmy Lai’s Trial Exposes Neo-Church Complicity with Communist Persecution
EWTN News reports on December 15, 2025, that Jimmy Lai—a media mogul imprisoned by Chinese communist authorities since 2020—was found guilty of violating Hong Kong’s national security law, facing potential life imprisonment. The article frames Lai as a “Catholic human rights advocate” victimized by a “politically motivated show trial,” citing condemnations from his family, Western politicians, and neo-conciliar Catholic institutions like The Catholic University of America. Nowhere does the piece question whether Lai’s activism aligns with Quas Primas’ mandate that “the rebellion of individuals and states against our Savior” causes societal collapse (Pius XI, 1925). Instead, it parrots the globalist narrative that secular “freedom” supersedes submission to Christ the King.
