(Mat 11:28-29) Come to me all you that labor and are burdened, and I will refresh you. Take up my yoke upon you, and learn of me, because I am meek, and humble of heart: And you shall find rest to your souls.
POPE LEO XIV: “We cannot build a just society if we discard the weakest—whether the child in the womb or the elderly in their frailty—for they are both gifts from God.”
Pope Leo XIII said it without hesitation: You cannot be Catholic and pro-abortion. To defend the killing of the unborn is to side with the one Christ Himself named “a murderer from the beginning.”
The culture of death begins in the womb. When a society sanctions the slaughter of its most innocent, it teaches that life is conditional, negotiable, and disposable.
The logic of abortion is the logic of murder. If a nation sanctions the slaughter of a child in the womb, it has already signed the death warrant for the child in the classroom. Both are the same rebellion against God—the same bloodlust, the same Satanic lie.
This is the hypocrisy of our age. We wail over bloodshed in schools, yet turn a blind eye to rivers of blood in abortion clinics. We grieve dead children on Monday, while celebrating their destruction on Tuesday in the name of “choice.” It is the same lie, the same evil, the same culture of death.
America calls itself exceptional. And it is—but not because of wealth or armies. America was exceptional because it once knew liberty flows from God, not man.
That truth has been abandoned.
Freedom without God has become license.
Exceptionalism without virtue has become decadence.
Yet America is not lost—for her hope does not rest in politics or power, but in Jesus Christ, who remains the only source of her renewal.
Here, the Catholic Church must speak with clarity. Catholic exceptionalism is not arrogance. It is the recognition that Christ entrusted His Church with the fullness of truth and the power of the sacraments.
For two thousand years, when governments failed and ideologies collapsed, the Church held the line, and still does so today.
The sacraments are not empty rituals. The Mass is the sacrifice of Calvary made present. The Eucharist is Christ Himself. Confession is the battlefield hospital for the soul. Marriage sanctifies the family—the very foundation of civilization. These are not symbols. They are weapons against hell.
And this is hell’s hour. Abortion is Satanic. School shootings are Satanic. The entire culture of death is Satanic. Politicians blame guns. Activists shout slogans.
But the real crisis is sin, and the only answer is Christ.
To be Catholic is to be pro-life without compromise or apology.
Anything less is betrayal. This is the line that separates light from darkness, life from death, Christ from Satan.
10. Be on the look-out for this trick and wile of the thieves. For they suggest to us that we need not separate ourselves from people in the world, and maintain that we shall receive a great reward if we can look upon women and still remain continent. We must not believe these suggestions, but rather the opposite.
