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. 'Trans Kids' Madness Is Built On A Foundation Of Constant And Increasingly Aggressive Lies
They're building transgender speakeasies. As red states ban sex-rejecting procedures for minors, and the Department of Justice shuts down pediatric transgender facilities at hospitals, the business is going underground. Two reports published this week reveal the degree to which the industry that performs sex-rejecting procedures on children relies on subterfuge and sneaking." Air raid alerts and attacks on schools: the devastating face of education in Ukraine
Ukraine has sustained almost 2,000 attacks on education since the full-scale Russian invasion in 2022, with some 270 this year alone, the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) said on Tuesday, a day after a strike at a school being used to distribute aid. Gender equality pays off for business - so why are companies pulling back?
Gender equality and diversity are good for business - but while increasing numbers of women are reaching top spots in the corporate world, more initiatives are needed to keep momentum going. Women Should Not Tolerate Porn
Young women today have unrealistically high standards. When I speak to conservative young men about dating, this is something I often hear. ...What that doesn't mean, though, is that young women shouldn't have any standards. Some are very important, particularly when it comes to a man's character. One standard that is valid is not wanting your partner to watch pornography. Planned Parenthood's Legacy of Eugenics: From Racial Cleansing to Modern-Day Abortion Mills
This weekend marks 110 years since Margaret Sanger opened her first birth control facility in Brooklyn on October 16, 1916. That facility marked the beginning of her movement, but beneath the glossy facade lies a century-long history of eugenics, racism, and systemic killing. Planned Parenthood's modern image coexists with a documented history involving eugenics and well-established efforts to drive genocidal levels of abortion among vulnerable, low-income populations. Yes, LGBT identity really is in free fall among American teens
What goes up so quickly will eventually come down just as fast. This is precisely what has happened with gay and trans identity among American teens after our national LGBT social acid trip. Gallup has carefully tracked how dramatically LGBT identity shot up for all ages in the U.S. over the last decade or more. It really rocketed in 2020. In 2012, only 3.5% of Americans identified with any of the experimental sex and gender alphabet soup letters. By 2020, 5.6% did. By 2024, it reached an eye-popping 9.3% of Americans." No, Two Men Failing To Make A Baby Together Is Not 'Infertility'
Sodomy is not infertility. But money and ideology encourage pretending otherwise. For example, a recent piece in the New England Journal of Medicine complained that the World Health Organization's guidelines on infertility aren't inclusive enough because they 'pertain only to heterosexual couples' rather than also encompassing 'LGBTQ+ people, as well as single people.'

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.

At this critical time, we have lost our knowledge of what it means to be human. Only if we can regain this knowledge can we hope to find our place in the world and mature into confident and fulfilled human beings. Antonio Lemos
To what extent can migration be legitimately regulated and enforced, and under what circumstances may migrants already residing within a country be returned to their place of origin? James Macpherson
Without a moral authority above ourselves, we risk turning our political convictions into absolute truths -- and our opponents into obstacles to be destroyed. Dan Hart
A grandmother's disputed death has put Canada's euthanasia regime under fresh scrutiny, as the Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) program passes 100,000 deaths with a further expansion slated for 2027. Thomas D. Howes
The effort by all the major AI frontier companies to get government assistance in regulating the technology strikes a familiar note. There have always been incentives for top companies in an industry to call for regulations that give them a competitive advantage over upstart companies. Regulatory capture, as it is called, is a real concern. But is that what is going on here?

Right now the Spanish congress, dominated by Zapatero's party, is debating a liberalization of Spain's abortion laws. Abortion is supposedly legal only for cases of rape, "fetal defect," and danger to the mother's physical or psychological health. In the case of rape and fetal defect the law allows abortions between 12 and 22 first weeks of pregnancy. For the "health" exception, however, there are no time limi

Jesus was given a stark choice - do we pay the hated tax to the emperor or not? Flip a coin. Both answers are losers. But Jesus answered, "None of the above." And that's one takeaway from this passage. Jesus transcended the trap of people who use clobber verses to "defeat" their foes. We are not to let the world - or the Bible trolls - control the conversation. Jesus is changing the world through the Sermon on the Mount, his parables and the victory from the cross to the empty tomb, and so are we - God's way. Proclaim Sermons
Jesus sets a simple example of service -- not only of giving service, but of receiving it. He shows those who claim his name how to treat one another. In this tableau of enacted love, the church and the world are shown what it is to live in anticipation of the kingdom of God coming amongst us. Douglas McManaman
If a person—whether a Jew, Muslim, Sikh, or perhaps even an atheist—truly loves his neighbor and is willing to risk so much for his neighbor’s well-being, that person loves Christ, without necessarily even knowing it or being explicitly aware of it, and he will recognize Christ in the end as the familiar face he loved in loving his neighbor, whose origin and identity is found in the Person of Christ.

Jesus was asked by Jairus to heal his daughter. While on the way, Jesus stopped to talk with the woman who'd been sick for 12 years who touched his cloak in faith to be healed. Then word came that Jairus' daughter had died. In two seemingly hopeless situations, Jesus intervened and brought both hope and healing. When we have situations that are beyond our ability to deal with, we should continue to be people of faith.

Salvation is not a given. It cannot be assumed. We have to want it. We have to leave aside questions of "how many" or "who," and focus upon it. We have to strive for it. John Stonestreet
Epidemics demand explanation, and so does the rapid rise of gender confusion. Judie Brown
"We know that abortion is evil. We know that those who advocate it are literally working for the father of lies, and we will continue to say it. Abortion is an act that takes the life of a person and the antidote is human personhood. A focus on that child's humanity is the only educational tool that has lasting power to turn the tide. God does not expect us to engage in political bickering, nor does His Word give us permission to relegate His babies and their fate to nothing more than a mere political issue! God expects us to tell the truth. If not us, who? Personhood now!"
Kurt Mahlburg
Earlier in March, NHS England made the bombshell announcement that puberty blockers - controversial drugs that are also used to chemically castrate criminals - will mercifully no longer be prescribed to children at gender identity clinics across the country.
