Assisted suicide of Kessler twins in Germany highlighted by pro-life groups as a moral decay.

Media Glorification of Assisted Suicide Exposes Germany’s Descent into Culture of Death

CNA Deutsch, a service of EWTN News, reports on pro-life groups condemning the “glorification” of the assisted suicide of 89-year-old twin entertainers Alice and Ellen Kessler in Grünwald, Germany. The German Society for Humane Dying (DGHS) facilitated their deaths on November 17, 2025, with media outlets like Tagesschau framing the act as an exercise in “self-determination.” Alexandra Linder of the Federal Association for the Right to Life warned of the “Werther effect” – increased suicide rates following sensationalized reporting – while Eva Maria Welskop-Deffaa of the German Caritas Association criticized the “romanticization” of suicide pressuring elderly women to avoid being a “burden.” This macabre spectacle epitomizes Germany’s apostasy from the divine moral order.

Microsoft’s ‘Nondiscrimination’ Pledge Exposes Bankruptcy of Secular Compromise

Leave a Comment / World / amdg

Catholic News Agency reports that Microsoft has agreed to cease discrimination against religious and conservative nonprofits in its discount programs following shareholder pressure orchestrated by Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF). The tech giant removed ideological attestation requirements after threatened investor action at its December 5 annual meeting. While Microsoft claims eligibility now extends to all federally recognized nonprofits, initial reports indicate continued denials to pregnancy centers – institutions the Catechism commends for defending innocent life (No. 2270).

Secular Court Usurps Parental Right to Religious Formation in Maine Dispute

Leave a Comment / World / amdg

Catholic News Agency reports on November 19, 2025, that Maine’s Supreme Court is adjudicating whether Emily Bickford may expose her 12-year-old daughter to Christian worship at Calvary Chapel against the objections of the child’s father, Matthew Bradeen. A Portland District Court previously ruled such religious exposure “psychologically unsafe,” granting Bradeen exclusive authority over the girl’s participation in “other churches and religious organizations.” Liberty Counsel contends this order violates Bickford’s parental rights, noting Bradeen’s hostility toward biblical instruction. The court’s embrace of psychological alarmism over jus divinum parental authority exposes modernity’s systematic assault on Christ’s social reign.

Syria’s Secular Trial Exposes Void of Divine Justice and Natural Law

Leave a Comment / World / amdg

Vatican News portal reports on Syria’s first public trial concerning March clashes between pro-government forces and Alawite minorities, framing it as a test of President Ahmed al-Sharaa’s “accountability” promises. The article states that “14 defendants appeared at the Palace of Justice in Aleppo” charged with “fomenting civil war, secession, premeditated murder and looting,” following violence that killed approximately 1,500 Alawites and 200 security personnel. While emphasizing secular notions of “ending a dark phase of secretive authoritarian rule,” the report utterly ignores the regnum sociale Christi (social kingship of Christ) and reduces justice to mere human political calculations.

EU Parliament’s Pro-Life Event Exposes Grave Omissions in Defense of Life

Leave a Comment / World / amdg

The Catholic News Agency article from November 17, 2025 reports on an October 15 pro-life gathering at the European Parliament organized by the European Centre for Law and Justice and One of Us federation. The event featured testimonies from women who regretted their abortions, while the article contrasts this with the Parliament’s Committee on Women’s Rights and Gender Equality voting 26-12 to support the “My Voice, My Choice” initiative promoting EU-funded cross-border abortions. The piece notes that this initiative received 923,028 euros from pro-abortion foundations, while the earlier pro-life “One of Us” initiative had far less funding despite gathering more signatures.

UN Gaza Resolution Promotes Godless Peace Over Christ’s Reign

Vatican News reports on the proposed UN Security Council resolution endorsing former US President Donald Trump’s Gaza peace plan, which includes an International Stabilization Force and transitional governance. The article notes Israel’s opposition to Palestinian statehood provisions and mentions casualty figures of 69,000 Palestinians and 1,200 Israelis since the 2023 Hamas attack. Egyptian and Russian diplomats reportedly discussed the US-backed draft, with Washington warning that rejection could reignite hostilities.

Executive Order on Foster Care: Superficial Relief Amidst Structural Apostasy

Leave a Comment / World / amdg

Catholic News Agency reports on an executive order signed by U.S. President Donald Trump on November 13, 2025, ostensibly prioritizing “faith-based participation” in foster care systems. The order claims to address systemic failures by modernizing child welfare infrastructure and prohibiting discrimination against those with “sincerely-held religious beliefs or adherence to basic biological truths.” Specific reference is made to lawsuits involving Christian families barred from fostering in Vermont due to their beliefs about marriage and biological sex. While framed as protecting religious liberty, the measure operates within the same naturalistic paradigm that has destroyed Christendom.

Naturalistic Pro-Life Activism Masks Duty to Establish Social Kingship of Christ

Catholic News Agency portal reports (November 15, 2025) on Planned Parenthood clinic closures following federal defunding, Southern Baptist ultrasound initiatives, and Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America’s $80 million midterm election spending. The article frames these developments as victories while quoting Planned Parenthood CEO Alexis McGill Johnson decrying funding cuts as “cruel” and “dismantling health care.” This report typifies the naturalistic reduction of anti-abortion efforts to political maneuvering divorced from the supernatural mission of Christ’s Church.

Iraq’s Elections: A Naturalistic Mirage Masking Christian Persecution

Leave a Comment / World / amdg

The VaticanNews portal (November 11, 2025) reports on Iraq’s parliamentary elections under a new proportional voting system, framing them as a “test” for Iraq’s ability to implement a “national agenda” amid foreign interference from the U.S., Iran, and Turkey. It highlights Prime Minister al-Sudani’s claim that these are Iraq’s “most important elections since 2003,” while noting the absence of Muqtada al-Sadr’s movement and the rise of “civic, non-sectarian” lists like the Tishrin movement. The article reduces Iraq’s existential struggles to a geopolitical chess game, entirely omitting the systematic eradication of Christianity—a silence that reeks of conciliar complicity with secular tyranny.

Supreme Court’s Passport Ruling: A Fleeting Victory in a Godless Landscape

Leave a Comment / World / amdg

Catholic News Agency reports on November 7, 2025, that the U.S. Supreme Court permitted the Trump administration to enforce biological sex designation on passports. The unsigned order asserted such requirements “no more offends equal protection principles than displaying [a] country of birth,” framing sex as a “historical fact.” Dissenting Justices Ketanji Brown Jackson, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan deemed the policy “questionably legal,” warning of “significant anxiety and fear” for those identifying as transgender. U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi celebrated this as the administration’s “24th victory,” declaring: “There are two sexes, and our attorneys will continue fighting for that simple truth.” The article references the Vatican’s 2024 document Dignitas Infinita, which criticizes gender ideology for denying sexual difference.
