Strongly pro-life Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò has written a stunning letter celebrating the re-election of Donald J. Trump as the President of the United States, seeing it as a triumph against the globalist agenda.

In this letter, released on Sunday, February 2, 2025, Archbishop Viganò praises the anti-abortion actions already announced by the new President, including the release of the pro-life campaigners jailed by Biden's weaponised Justice Department.

The letter also warns of the Deep State and Deep Church, which he believes collude to undermine sovereignty and Catholic teachings through woke ideology, mass immigration, and engineered crises. He condemns the UN, WHO, and WEF for promoting population control and accuses Catholic bishops of financial and moral corruption. He urges Catholics to reject false obedience, defend truth, and resist evil forces aiming to dismantle natural and divine law. The former papal nuncio to the United States calls for a “counter-revolution of common sense” rooted in faith and action.

Here's the piece of the letter of most interest to pro-lifers:

Today is Candlemas. This often forgotten festival was once one of the most important holy days in all Christendom.

Candlemas, also known as the Feast of the Presentation of Jesus Christ, the Feast of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary, or the Feast of the Holy Encounter, commemorates the presentation of Jesus at the Temple by Joseph and Mary. It is based upon the account of the presentation of Jesus in Luke 2:22–40.

The feast falls on 2nd February, which is traditionally the 40th day of and the conclusion of the Christmas–Epiphany season.

While it is customary for Christians in some countries to remove their Christmas decorations on Twelfth Night (Epiphany Eve), those in other Christian countries historically remove them after Candlemas. On Candlemas, many Christians (especially Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, and some mainline Protestant denominations including Lutherans, Anglicans and Methodists) also take their candles to their local church, where they are blessed and then used for the rest of the year. These blessed candles serve as a symbol of Jesus Christ, who is referred to as the Light of the World.

One of the true clerical heroes of our times, Bishop Ricahrd Williamson, has died.

The Trump White House has published a statement in support of the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act (H.R. 21), which would mandate that abortion-surviving newborns be shown the “same degree of professional skill, care, and diligence” as would be given following an intended birth and then be “immediately transported and admitted to a hospital.” 

STATEMENT OF ADMINISTRATION POLICY

H.R. 21 – Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act
(Rep. Ann Wagner, R-MO-2, and 151 cosponsors)

The Administration strongly supports H.R. 21 the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, and applauds the House for its efforts to protect the most vulnerable and prevent infanticide.

Current law fails to provide adequate protections, including adequate requirements for the provision of medical care, for vulnerable newborns who survive an abortion attempt. If enacted, H.R. 21 would require any healthcare practitioner who is present at the time that such a child is born to exercise care to preserve the child’s life and health, and to ensure the child is immediately transported and admitted to a hospital. The bill would also require a healthcare practitioner, or hospital employee, to immediately report a violation of these requirements. H.R. 21 would establish a civil right of action for, and prevent criminal prosecution and penalties from being brought against, the mothers of such children.

As President Trump established through Executive Order 13952 of September 25, 2020, it is the policy of the United States to recognize the human dignity and inherent worth of every newborn or other infant child, regardless of prematurity or disability, and to ensure for each child due protection under the law.

A baby that survives an abortion and is born alive into this world should be treated just like any other baby born alive. H.R. 21 would properly amend current law to ensure that the life of one baby is not treated as being more or less valuable than another."

The statement finished by noting that President Trump will sign the legislation into law if it arrives on his desk in its present form.

Parliament has granted a “blank cheque” for Kim Leadbeater’s assisted suicide Bill amid an outcry from MPs concerned about cost implications in an underfunded palliative care sector.

On Wednesday, as part of the process for passing a bill, MPs had to agree on a ‘money resolution’ for Leadbeater’s Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill before it is able to pass on to Committee Stage.

However, since there has not yet been an impact assessment, several MPs were highly critical of the resolution due to the difficulty of scrutinising legislation without knowing its likely cost.

The resolution said that – for any Act that might result from the Bill – “it is expedient to authorise the payment out of money provided by Parliament of any expenditure incurred under or by virtue of the Act by the Secretary of State, and any increase attributable to the Act in the sums payable under or by virtue of any other Act of money so provided”.

Sir John Hayes MP, in particular, focused on the vague wording of the resolution saying Kim Leadbeater “says that this is not a blank cheque, but you can’t get much more blank than that can you? Essentially, any monies associated with the Bill—if it becomes an Act—will be provided”.

“[W]e have to ask the question” he went on, “where will that money come from? Presumably it can come only from existing resource, and one assumes palliative care”.

Labour MP David Smith made similar remarks, saying that MPs were “being asked to approve a blank cheque for assisted dying”.

“If that were the case for any other legislation, we would be shouting about it”.

“The Bill represents a profound change to the very nature of our healthcare system, and we are simply guessing at the cost. That is not good for the Bill Committee’s ability to scrutinise, and not good for this place, or for the democratic and legislative process”, he added.

MP for North Antrim Jim Allister said “There is no more important function for Members of this House than that of being the guardians of public money. It is very hard to equate the performance of that function with signing a blank cheque, and yet that is what we are being asked to do today. One thing is abundantly clear: if this Bill passes, it will bring with it a huge financial burden in perpetuity”.

Labour MP Maya Ellis took issue with the idea that assisted suicide might be fully funded by the state while other services within the NHS are still struggling.

“The argument is made about dignity in dying. I struggle to see the fairness, however, in pursuing spend to allow dignity in dying when we struggle to fund dignity in other areas of the NHS”. 

“We likewise know that the dignity offered to disabled people, those receiving palliative care and those in supported living is often far less than they deserve. One of the biggest flaws in the Bill, therefore, is the money resolution. I do not see how we can sign a blank cheque to guarantee dignity only in death when dignity in all parts of life is still so desperately in need of resources, and equally deserving”.

Labour MP Antonia Bance said “This Bill will impose new unfunded and unknown costs on our courts. It blithely assumes that judges and courts will be available, yet the waiting time for a family court case at the moment is 10 months. That just will not work for the Bill. How much will the extra spending on courts cost?”.

Carla Lockhart MP blasted the apparent commitment to funding for assisted suicide, which was not available for use elsewhere. “It is mind-blowing that there is no money to pay for winter fuel payments or to support the Women Against State Pension Inequality campaign, yet the House is about to approve the provision of a bottomless pot of money to create a state-funded, gold-plated assisted suicide service” she said.

Dr Ben Spencer MP and Anna Dixon MP also asked questions about the extent to which assisted suicide would be funded by the NHS or whether it would be in private hands to any degree.

Co-sponsor of the assisted suicide Bill Conservative MP Kit Malthouse, seemingly to assuage concerns about the cost of a “blank cheque” for assisted suicide, drew attention to the money that might be saved by removing the reliance on “expensive care services”.

“We must remember that the people we are talking about—the dying individuals who may want to make this choice at the end of their life—are already receiving treatment in the national health service”.

“They are already reliant on expensive care services, drugs and so on, as well as social support mechanisms that cost the taxpayer”. 

He added that MPs “should not pretend that the status quo is cost-free, because it is costly”.

Rather than being reassured by this suggestion, David Smith raised concerns about “potentially scarce funding from end-of-life care and allocating it to ending lives”.

“That opens up the dark possibility of a race to the bottom—to looking for savings in the health and social care budget”, he said.

“Any Government would be tempted, where cost saving is a possibility, to push assisted dying as a cost-saving measure; we have seen that in jurisdictions such as Canada”.

"I actually felt the evil presence in the room of what was behind abortion.” That's what an abortionist turned pro-life advocate has revealed about the moment that changed her life for good.

Dr. Catherine Wheeler revealed how Christ saved her from the abortion industry as she addressed tens of thousands of pro-lifers from around the world at the 52nd National March for Life in Washington, D.C., explaining how she recognised the reality of abortion during her medical residency.  

“In residency, I was introduced to abortion, specifically for babies with special needs, that we would have called birth defects and anomalies,” she recalled.   

“And we were told in that situation, it’s a woman’s right to choose, you’re not here to judge,” she explained.  

“So, for the first time, we didn’t talk about the baby or healing,” Wheeler continued. “We instead talked about terminating and ending. And for the first time, we completely disregarded and actually intentionally took the life of one of our patients.” 

As a result, Wheeler became an abortionist, convincing herself that she was helping women in need. However, one day the “blinders came off,” and she grasped the reality of abortion. 

“For the first time, I actually saw the baby I was about to kill with horror,” she recalled. “And for the first time, I actually felt the evil presence in the room of what was behind abortion.” 

“Somehow I did that abortion, I don’t know how,” Wheeler revealed. “I never did another abortion in my life.” 

During her journey to the pro-life movement, Wheeler shared that she found healing through the love of Christ.  

“Somebody asked me on an airplane once, ‘How in the world when you’ve done something that horrible, do you even get up?'” she said.  

“And I’ll tell you, I came to know Jesus,” Wheeler declared. “And I came to know his love.” 

“Thank you, God,” she proclaimed. “And so, only because of Jesus can I stand up in front of you today. And only because of Jesus can I tell people the dignity, the humanity, and the amazing miracle of babies.” 

“And that abortions not only take innocent lives, but they harm women too, and they harm all of us,” she continued. “So, I am here today. If you’ve had an abortion, as an abortionist, I want you to know how sorry I am.”
