Pro-Life Reporting Omits Christ the King: A Catholic Critique

EWTN News reports on Meta’s AI chatbot policy blocking discussions of abortion with minors, alongside other pro-life developments including the faltering of a national assisted suicide bill in the UK, an Ohio court upholding a ban on aborted baby burial requirements, and a Texas lawsuit against a mail-in abortion company. While these reports document ongoing efforts against moral evils, they operate entirely within a naturalistic framework that utterly neglects the indispensable foundation of the Social Reign of Christ the King, thereby perpetuating the very apostasy they claim to oppose.

The site was declared a diocesan shrine in 2004 by then-“bishop” Paulinus Costa and formally designated as such in 2023 by “bishop” Gervas Rozario. The article describes Hindu conversions to Christianity, testimonies of answered prayers, and interfaith gatherings at the shrine.

While presenting itself as pro-life, the initiative exemplifies the post-conciliar shift toward naturalistic humanitarianism divorced from the Church’s primary mission: the sanctification of souls through the sacraments and uncompromised doctrinal witness.
