Report: Churchgoing Couples Have Highest Rate of Marital Satisfaction Fresh research highlights the strong links between active Christian faith, marital happiness, sexual satisfaction, family stability and the formation of future generations. Called to Be Counter-Cultural The greatest danger the Church faces is not just hostility from outside, but compromise from within. The Church loses its saltiness not when it is persecuted, but when it becomes indistinguishable from everything around it. Our witness is only credible when our communities actually live what we proclaim: when Christians are known by their love, their honesty, their care for the poor, and their joy. UCLA Caught Buying Aborted Baby Parts, Altering Paperwork to Hide It Liberty Counsel Founder and Chairman Mat Staver said, "The fetal organ harvesting business murders innocent babies for profit. These public records obtained by the Center for Medical Progress show that the work must continue to expose these heinous acts by these abortionists, harvesters, researchers, universities, and companies. The barbaric slaughter of babies for profit must stop." The Moral Problem With IVF: Human Beings Aren't Property
In-Vitro Fertilization has created a moral crisis. There are now as many as 1.5 million frozen embryos in the U.S. alone. Many of these will remain frozen or simply tossed out.

Editorial
Who are the Poor? It is difficult for me to look at a photograph of a hungry child and simply turn the page. Perhaps it is because I have spent so many years working with young people at Kochi University and traveling across Asia to share the pro-life message. When you look into the face of a child who does not have enough to eat, hunger is no longer just a statistic. It has a face. It is a little boy or girl who is hungry today and whose parents may not know where tomorrow's food will come from. How many children worldwide suffer from hunger? The numbers are staggering. According to the latest estimates from UNICEF, the World Health Organization, and the World Bank, 42.8 million children under five...
Continue reading at Fr. Jerry's Blog... Ethical Perspectives Joshua Sohn So long as the pro-life movement is part of the GOP coalition, the attractiveness of the pro-life message is affected by the attractiveness of the GOP. And it's hard to grow the pro-life tent if the pro-life movement is bound up with a hard-right GOP that is repellent to centrist and center-left voters. Rod Lampard Bishop Fulton Sheen argued Communism and capitalism share a common root - materialism divorced from morality. That affinity, this piece argues, explains China's persecution of Christians today. Jeremy Adams There are certain universal and timeless truths about what works in a classroom that no technological advancement (even a humanoid robot) will ever change. And this knowledge is where being the old man on campus can have power and resonance. Jordan J. Ballor Abuse is no argument against proper use. But AI's challenges and opportunities are bound up with identifying the scale and scope of proper use as well as the consequences of abuse, and how to distinguish one from another. Ronald Rolheiser Every year I try to write an article on suicide because it is perhaps the most misunderstood of all deaths and it wreaks a unique havoc among the family and the loved ones left behind.
Ann Farmer Documents have revealed that the FBI monitored traditionalist Catholic communities, citing old-fashioned liturgy as a potential extremism indicator, sparking concerns over religious profiling and political bias. Shenan J. Boquet This is the lie behind the idea that pornography is "merely" entertainment. Even movies made purely for entertainment are not "merely" entertainment. Everything we put into our minds shapes our minds. High-definition streaming porn, one of the most powerful forms of media ever devised, is clearly distorting an entire generation's views of sexuality, from the earliest ages. Asia Human Rights The Cross Cultural Foundation (CrCF) urges the Head of the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO), Gen. Prayuth Chan-ocha, to review and revoke the order to uphold the rule of law and human rights safeguard, particularly the right to justice process which is fundamental and indispensable for the restoration of democracy in Thailand.
Dianne N. Irving The current enthusiasm over the launching of the latest gnostic writings of "Judas" from the secret Egyptian Nag Hammadi Coptic gnostic library requires at least some minimal clarification from an historic philosophical (as distinct from religious) perspective. To not know or understand what gnosticism is is to be incapable of putting a name and a face on, questioning, or evaluating one of the most pervasive and influential mythological ideologies in our global society today. Donald DeMarco The ideology of choice dominates our current society. People are misled into thinking that choice itself is a virtue, forgetting that virtuous behaviour requires not any choice whatsoever, but the choice of a moral good. God's plan as well as Church teaching demands that the sex act, that is to say the "marital act", not be severed from its natural ordination to the possibility of new life. History has shown, and rather incontrovertibly that once sex is divorced from life, it soon becomes divorced from marriage, love, family, and even a relationship with a heterosexual partner. Carolyn Moynihan New Zealanders during my lifetime have regarded our country as "a great place to bring up kids". It still is - if you know how to bring up kids. If you didn't learn good parenting from your own upbringing, you could be struggling, especially if you are poor, have a child with special needs, or a partner who is abusive. Xavier Symons A 35-year-old man who had been in a vegetative state for 15 years after a car accident has shown signs of consciousness after neurosurgeons implanted a nerve stimulator into his chest. Judie Brown Yesterday, I heard the most terrifying words come out of the mouth of a young woman who, on a video, was describing her chosen brand of contraception. She said by subjecting herself to this contraception she would avoid the "Homo sapiens parasite problem." Steven Mosher Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) such as UNICEF and CARE Australia are up in arms over the new Australian Prime Minister's plan to reduce foreign aid by $4.5 billion. According to the Sydney Morning Herald, they claim that such cuts will come at "expense of children's lives." Worse yet, they will compromise the commitments under the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Andrew T. Walker It is hypocritical for secular critics to accept only those religious claims that conform to liberal sentiment and to label any disfavored religious claim as Christian Nationalism. Christianity cannot be permissible to polite society only when it meets with the approval of its cultured despisers.
