I had every 'gender-affirming' surgery. Here's why I'm now speaking the truth Theodore Dalrymple, senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, has said one of the ways in which neo-Marxist social justice totalitarians exert control is by humiliating people into admitting or professing that something is true which they know is not true. Forcing them to say things they know are false is the ultimate exertion of power and control. Pope Leo's over 400 appeals for peace during first year of pontificate In the first year of his pontificate, Pope Leo XIV has appealed hundreds of times for a reconciliation that is "unarmed and disarming," and urged the "lords of war" to listen to "a melody greater than ourselves." Reflections on St. Pope John Paul II's "Letter to the Elderly" The great pontiff's words remind us that life is short and that we must live it with one goal in mind-to get to heaven. SSPX is choosing the path of schism The Catholic Church has a simple principle that ecclesial revolutionaries keep finding impressively difficult to understand: obedience to legitimate authority belongs to communion and covenant hierarchy rather than institutional convenience. Cardinal Eijk: Same-Sex Synod Report Must Be Forcefully Refuted Cardinal Willem Eijk: "By elevating such testimonies without doctrinal commentary, the report effectively normalizes homosexual relationships within a Church context. This represents a clear attempt to weaken the proclamation of Catholic moral teaching. The deeper problem lies in the report's entire methodological framework." Unborn Babies Can't be a Clump of Cells When They Have a Heartbeat
Whenever I talk about embryonic hearts there's usually a few people who push back, both actually pro-life and pro-choice people, who push back because, they argue, hearts don't determine personhood. Yeah, I agree with you. I don't talk about embryonic hearts because I think having a heart makes you a morally valuable person. I talk about embryonic hearts because they matter to a lot of people, whether they make you a morally valuable person or not. France Once Again Rejects Bill to Legalize Assisted Suicide
The French Senate on Tuesday rejected a bill to legalize assisted suicide for the second time, voting down Article 2 of the legislation -- which established a right to the procedure -- by 151 votes to 118. Abortion pills don't just end babies' lives, they can almost kill mothers too A 25-year-old nursing student is condemning the Trump-Vance administration for allowing abortion pills to remain accessible by mail, saying that taking the pills put her in a coma and almost killed her. The fight over whether abortion pills can be mailed from pro-life states into pro-abortion states has become the most central battle for the pro-life movement since the overturn of Roe v. Wade. The Family Shapes Health Before Government Ever Does Walk through a community center in rural Ohio, a village clinic in Uganda, or a maternity ward in Honduras, and you'll see the same quiet truth. A healthy child was usually carried by a mother who was nourished and supported. A girl who finishes school was encouraged at a kitchen table long before she was encouraged in a classroom. Long before a ministry of health writes a policy, the family has already been shaping one. That's why, on May 15, the world recognizes the International Day of Families. It is also a reminder that women's health cannot be separated from the strength of the family itself.

Editorial
Many people today, especially here in Japan and Asia, possess nuclear anxiety and fear that a nuclear war will occur. In the past, many have argued that the concept of nuclear deterrence would not only prevent the use of nuclear weapons but even prevent wars. They claimed that the balance of terror would preserve peace. Yet facts show that nuclear deterrence is not aiding but obstructing peace. As this article is being written, we see a sudden surge in military activity and spending among world leaders. In particular, the amount spent on nuclear weapons by the nine nuclear-armed countries - China, France, India, Israel, North Korea, Pakistan, Russia, UK, and the US - exceeded $100 billion in 2024 and continues to rise in 2025.

Susan Ciancio Kathleen and Ron have been foster parents for most of their 35 years of marriage, and in addition to raising four children of their own, they have now fostered over 200 children. Throughout those years, they have seen atrocities that most people cannot even imagine, but the love and joy they have brought to children and their families is immeasurable. Philip Irvin This is a test. Answer this typical diversity question, "What are your preferred pronouns?" The correct answer is "None." I do not have any pronouns that are based on my preferences. My pronouns are based on biology. Rod Lampard A YouTuber with 100,000 subscribers, Dr Augustinos Samaan now faces five years' hard labour after Egyptian courts convicted him of blasphemy in a secret trial. Jean Seah Growing access to IVF and surrogacy raises serious ethical concerns - from exploitation of young women and donor identity risks, to the destruction of millions of embryos.
Asia Human Rights Though there are various reasons why so many children go missing in India, destitution is one of the most important problems. Children sometimes flee their homes in desperation to escape poverty and hunger and land in difficult situations. Steven Mosher Pennsylvania State Rep. Babette Josephs, a Philadelphia Democrat, recently attacked her pro-life women colleagues in the state legislature for supporting a bill that would allow women a chance to see an ultrasound of their unborn child before an abortion, calling them "men with breasts." But who are the real "men with breasts," Dr. Rebecca Peck asks. Carolyn Moynihan The latest ammunition in the same-sex marriage wars is a New York Times report about research showing that "a majority of Americans now say their definition of family includes same-sex couples with children, as well as married gay and lesbian couples".
Barbara Kralis This sordid form of servitude is experienced mainly by migrant low-skilled laborers trafficked into prosperous areas from poverty-stricken communities under the guise of paid labor. Victims find shortly after arrival that they cannot escape their working conditions without beatings and the threat of deportation or imprisonment. Experiencing physical and emotional abuse, they perceive themselves to be slaves or captives, as they often are. Martha Shuping A recent study published in the American Journal of Psychiatry online claims that abortion does not increase the risk of suicide. If only that were true. The study by M. Antonia Biggs and colleagues (May 24, 2018) used data from the University of California San Francisco's Turnaway Study. But the results are very questionable because they are inconsistent with many other studies, and the final results of this study are based on only 18% of the original sample. Carolyn Moynihan Why do so many church-going women reject Catholic teaching on family planning? At last someone has asked them. Theresa Burke Not once in all the years of psychotherapy, psychodrama, group and individual treatment did a single therapist pay any attention to Brianna's abortion or recognize it as a trauma worthy of discussion. Her story makes me wonder: Who is more disoriented? Brianna, with all of her personalities, or a medical community that refuses to acknowledge the trauma inflicted on this young girl in the name of "choice?" Irving News Comments Please note the convergence of scientific and ethical issues concerning the use of the early human embryo in research with the use of adult human subjects in research -- especially research concerning artificial reproductive technologies (ART).
