Editorial
Since the birth of the first "test-tube baby" in 1978, in vitro fertilization (IVF) has provided hope and a path to parenthood for many couples who cannot conceive naturally. The Catholic Church, however, has consistently rejected IVF - not out of hostility to suffering couples, but because of deeper beliefs about marriage, human life, and the dignity of the human person. The Church opposes IVF largely because the process usually creates multiple embryos in a laboratory. Some are implanted, but others are frozen, discarded, or destroyed. Since the Church views each embryo as a human life, this loss of embryos is considered morally unacceptable. The inherent dignity of a human person deserves full moral and legal respect and protection. The Church teaches that embryos must never be treated merely as a means to an end.

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. Douglas McManaman
In romantic love, the one who has fallen in love sees the beloved as God sees the beloved. But this can only happen if God gives the one who is in love (the lover) a sharing in the way He sees the beloved. And so, this is a grace; it is an illumination. And that is why in the experience of falling in love, the one in love is very much preoccupied with the beloved, thinks of the beloved a great deal more than he or she otherwise would. Judie Brown
The simple fact that every human being has a similar beginning as a single cell fertilized egg seems to be more than some people can comprehend. This came into stark focus when we read Professor Risa Cromer's article entitled "Embryo Personhood's IVF Problem: What the Data Reveals." Philip Irvin

This article summarizes Yusuf's thoughtful and thought-provoking essay, focusing on the movement from the hedonistic, self-centered self to the ethical or virtuous self, and ultimately to the self at peace. It shows how chastity is a central virtue enabling this movement, insofar as this virtue helps a person to take command of his desires and emotions and not be under their command. Michael Cook

Four structural reasons why. Donald DeMarco
A good marriage is the basis for a good family. Since the family remains the fundamental unit of society, a good marriage plays an immense and indispensable role in providing essential benefits for society. The future of humanity passes through the husbands and wives whose invocations of life confer upon them the status of fathers and mothers. The quality of today's marriage is crucial to the quality of life for the next generation. *Offsite Article
Over the past several years, newspapers, magazines, and news reports have shown worsening trends regarding current life issues. The slippery slope is widening, and people's lives are hurting. God is gradually being eliminated from society, leaving a road of mass confusion, suffering, and hidden guilt in its wake. During annual retreat earlier this year, Psalm 139 caught my attention with its powerful message on the meaning of Life alongside God's personal relationship to us as individuals. The inspired writer teaches us God's direction to Life, Happiness and Truth. Containing insights that are very relevant for the modern world, the Psalm can be broken up into four categories: (1) God knows me, (2) God is with me, (3) God created me, and (4) God's cause is mine. While reflecting on the greatness of God's character in relation to the reality of troublesome times in society and the world, a thought struck me: "What would the world be like without the living presence of God in my life and in the lives of those around me?" What kind of choices would we make? "What would the end results of these decisions be?"
