Myanmar’s Election Violence Unveils Global Apostasy from Christ’s Social Kingship

The VaticanNews portal (December 23, 2025) reports on UN Human Rights Chief Volker Türk’s warnings about violence surrounding Myanmar’s military-organized elections. The article describes how both the junta and armed opposition groups threaten civilians, with over 7,000 killed since the 2021 coup and 3.6 million displaced. It notes the UN’s condemnation of arrests under “election protection laws” and humanitarian crises like malnutrition affecting 400,000 children. The piece frames this as a political conflict between the military regime and “anti-regime militants,” ignoring the regnum sociale Christi (social kingship of Christ) as the only solution to societal collapse.

Nativity Amidst Occupation: The Hollow “Solidarity” of Modernist Prelates

The Vatican News portal (December 22, 2025) reports on Christmas preparations in Taybeh, a West Bank village described as “the only entirely Christian” Palestinian community. The article frames the situation as a tension between “Christmas joy” and fear of Israeli settler attacks, noting recent arson against vehicles and farmland. It highlights the presence of French “bishop” Hughues de Woillemont (Œuvre d’Orient) and other modernist figures at a Latin parish Mass, presenting this as solidarity. The report laments Christian emigration (15 families recently left) while promoting “peaceful resistance” and interfaith coexistence.

Bloodshed Without Redemption: The Futility of Secular Retaliation in Syria

The VaticanNews portal (December 20, 2025) reports U.S. and Jordanian airstrikes against Islamic State targets in Syria, framed as retaliation for the December 13 ambush near Palmyra that killed two U.S. soldiers and a civilian interpreter. Over 70 sites were struck using “more than 100 precision munitions,” with Jordan’s air force participating to “prevent extremist groups from threatening regional security.” Syria’s cooperation with the U.S.-led coalition is highlighted, alongside its pledge to combat ISIS. U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth declared the operation “a declaration of vengeance,” not war. The article omits any moral or theological reflection, reducing the conflict to geopolitical maneuvering. **This report exemplifies the bankruptcy of modernist naturalism, divorcing human action from divine law.**

Secularized “Church” Complicity in Bangladesh’s Revolutionary Turmoil

The Catholic News Agency portal (December 19, 2025) reports on Bangladesh’s political turmoil following the assassination of Sharif Osman Hadi, a leader of the 2024 uprising against dictator Sheikh Hasina. The article quotes “Father” Liton Hubert Gomes, secretary of the “Justice and Peace Commission” of the “Catholic Bishops’ Conference” in Bangladesh, condemning arson attacks on media offices while expressing doubts about the interim government’s ability to protect voting rights. The report frames the violence as youth protests demanding justice, with the Nobel laureate-led administration condemning the destruction while avoiding substantive analysis of the revolutionary context.

Massachusetts Policy Shift on Foster Care: A Superficial Concession Amidst Ideological Subversion

Catholic News Agency reports that Massachusetts has removed explicit requirements for foster parents to affirm LGBT ideology, following a lawsuit by Alliance Defending Freedom. The policy previously mandated prospective parents to support children’s “sexual orientation and gender identity,” including pronoun usage and medical transitions. The amended rules now require affirmation of a child’s “individual identity and needs,” with the religious liberty group continuing to monitor compliance. The article references President Trump’s executive order prioritizing faith-based foster care participation and similar cases in Oregon, Kansas, and Arkansas.

HHS Restrictions on Child Mutilation: Inadequate Concessions to Natural Law

The Catholic News Agency article (December 18, 2025) reports that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) under Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. proposed regulations to restrict “sex-rejecting procedures” on minors. These include withholding Medicare/Medicaid funding from hospitals performing such procedures, banning federal CHIP funding for under-19 procedures, FDA warnings against breast binder manufacturers, and redefining “disability” to exclude gender dysphoria. Kennedy condemned these interventions as “malpractice” causing irreversible harm, citing a May 2025 HHS report documenting infertility, bone density loss, and cognitive damage. The measures implement President Trump’s January 2025 executive order against “chemical and surgical mutilation” of children, with endorsements from medical advocates and USCCB committee chairman Bishop Robert Barron.

Secular Deliverance Fantasies Mask Eternal Truth in Lai Verdict Coverage

Catholic News Agency portal reports on December 16, 2025 regarding the guilty verdict against Catholic businessman Jimmy Lai in Hong Kong. The coverage centers on statements by Lai’s godfather Bill McGurn, who dismissed the trial as a “phony” process while placing hope for Lai’s release in political negotiations involving Donald Trump, Keir Starmer, and Xi Jinping. The article emphasizes Lai’s Catholic identity and family faith while framing his plight through secular human rights discourse.
