Children among the dead as heavy rains flood tents and shelters in Gaza
An infant reportedly drowned and five Gazans were killed - including three children - when a sand dune collapsed on their tents as the first heavy rains swept across the enclave at the weekend, according to the UN aid coordination office (OCHA). Keep men out of the Hampstead ladies' pond
A group of women stood outside the Royal Courts of Justice in London in their bathing suits last week. Their aim? To remind the public that men are still allowed to swim in Hampstead Heath's Kenwood Ladies' Pond, despite a landmark Supreme Court ruling that should have put an end to that. It was a brilliant publicity stunt. My first thought when I saw the photograph was: good for them, but they must be freezing. My second was: why should they have to? The gift of adoption: One mother's love can change two families forever
Imagine how we could build up families if more organizations were to encourage every abortion-minded mom to choose adoption instead of death for her child. Pope Leo XIV Addresses Gender Ideology
Human life does not begin in a vacuum. It is born of the love between a man and a woman who, giving themselves to one another, open themselves to the gift of a new life. A child is the fruit of this communion, not a product, and from the very beginning bears within the mark of the relationship of origin. This most fragile beginning is nurtured in the mother's womb, the first place of welcome, where the initial bond becomes closeness and protection. According to the Creator's plan, the human person is conceived and grows within this web of relationships. Thus, the dignity of nascent life finds its proper place in the family. Some Facts, For a Change, About Climate Change
A fresh challenge to conventional climate-change thinking examines ocean temperatures, atmospheric energy flows and historical climate patterns, questioning the science behind catastrophic warming predictions. What Killed Off Newspapers Is Killing Your Parish
If you lived in the age of newspapers, then you probably have memories of reading them regularly, even if it was just the Sunday comics. Flash forward to today and we have had a sharp decline in the number of newspapers that still operate. In fact, nearly 40% of all U.S. newspapers have closed in the past 20 years. Some may say the internet killed newspapers, but that isn't the full story. What killed most newspapers is they forgot their mission and confused it with their method. Beneath the Surface: Exposing the Abortion Pill Drug Cartel
This report seeks to expose the abortion pill drug cartel and prove there is no such thing as an abortion-free state in the US (Appendix IV). It also seeks to detail other more conventional methods of obtaining these pills. Finally, the report will shed light on the lack of action for this crisis, leaving us to ask: Why are state and local governments turning a blind eye to baby killing? Pope on AI: Decisions affecting human life must never be delegated
Addressing participants in a meeting dedicated to AI, Pope Leo stresses the importance of keeping the human person at the heart of this technology to avoid the danger of threatening the common good and reducing people to data points. Ukraine: WFP provides hot meals to Oleshky evacuees as UN pushes to restore power before winter
The UN World Food Programme (WFP) is providing emergency food assistance to more than 400 people who were able to leave the Russian-occupied city of Oleshky, in Ukraine's Kherson region, during a brief local ceasefire. Who Are the Groups Fighting to Mutilate Children and Keep Boys in Girls Sports?
Most adult Americans oppose mutilating and sterilizing children who struggle with sexual identity confusion, and they also know it's wrong to allow boys and men to invade girls and women's sports, showers, locker rooms and restrooms. But a well-funded, extremist coalition of groups - including LGBT activists, pro-abortionists, teachers unions, leftist legal groups and environmentalists - support harming children and denying girls equal opportunities.

Editorial
Sometimes, in the busyness of our daily lives, we forget the beautiful moment when we first said, "Yes" to God. For those of us who have spent many years following Christ, that little word has taken us on a journey we could never have imagined. During a recent four-day retreat, the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate in Japan and Korea were invited to rediscover that first "Yes," to reflect on God's faithfulness through the years, and to renew our commitment to His mission. I invite you to join us on this spiritual journey through eight reflections that remind us of something deeply personal: God took our "Yes" very seriously, and He continues to do so today. This message reaches far beyond our Oblate family. Every Christian is invited to listen to God's call and respond with trust.

Hate isn't the opposite of love; indifference is. Hate is love gone wrong, and how easily that happens.

Hatred of Jews in the West has not stemmed from any peculiar moral trait of all Jews or all gentiles, but from the complicated vicissitudes of man's history and his mysterious relationship with evil. Michael Cook

All moments of the liturgical calendar are full of encouragement for the pro-life movement. But it is in the Resurrection, above all, that we find the profoundest affirmation of the goodness of human life, of the great dignity which human beings possess and of the destination towards which they are called. Steven Mosher
A new study from Nottingham University in Scotland confirms that teens who have access to morning-after pills engage in higher rates of sexually promiscuous behavior, contract more STDs, and have higher rates of abortion than teens who do not have such access.

As long as we breathe, we can choose to care for the people around us, listen to the teachings of the Bible and live a life that is true to our deepest convictions. If we do, we'll have no big regrets.

"Comprehensive" sex education is not really about giving information but rather about a politics of despair where the sex "experts" hope for some damage control in the areas of teen pregnancy and disease. But we are already seeing the failure of such an approach in the proliferation of new sexually transmitted diseases, abortion, divorce, unwed moms, deadbeat dads, child abuse, etc., as well as a growing cynicism about relationships in our young people. If sex is seen as little more than recreation with consequences to be avoided, how will our children later be able to handle the temptation to cheat on a spouse or the sacrifices involved in raising a child?" Carson Holloway
Promoting a sexually permissive pop-culture in the Muslim world gets the true foundations of ordered liberty wrong. In defining our ideals by rejecting our enemy's, we go from one extreme to another, and miss the virtuous mean. Michael Cook
