Loving Your Children Well: Biblical Wisdom for Parenting in Today's World
Parenting is one of life's greatest joys and challenges. Each child is unique, bringing their own talents, quirks, and needs into the family. As Mary Rice Hasson, a mother of seven, reflects: "I went through a lot of parenting books. I was always looking for the book that was really going to help me figure out how to be the best mom to each of our kids." Pro-Lifers: There Is No Flexibility on Taxpayer-Funded Abortions
President Donald Trump seems to have underestimated the importance of the Hyde Amendment to the pro-life movement. But on taxpayer funding for abortion, pro-lifers are not budging. UK Tribunal Rules in Favour of the Darlington Nurses Who Opposed the Trans Takeover of Female-Only Spaces
Eight British nurses have won a landmark legal victory against the NHS after being forced to share female-only spaces with a biological male, affirming women's rights to dignity and safety at work. Pope Leo gives stark warning on AI: We must 'safeguard ourselves.'
The challenge, therefore, the pontiff said "is not technological, but anthropological. Safeguarding faces and voices ultimately means safeguarding ourselves." In praise of single-sex dormitories
My experience is that keeping men out of girls' dorms creates the happiest living space for women, upholding the safety, community, and integrity of college campus life. Reflections on Pain and Things That Break Our Hearts
A Parent's Perspective: "It stabbed me like a knife in the heart knowing that he looks nothing like that picture now. Three years ago, my son stumbled into Internet groups that told him that the reason why he didn't fit in socially, was not due to his Autism, but because he was really a woman, not a man. My son now thinks that he's a woman and is taking hormones to try to achieve an impossible dream, that he can be a woman, fed by his own delusion and a world that tells him daily that he can." OBGYN Says 'Do No Harm' Means Not Killing Babies in Abortions
The CEO of the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists (AAPLOG) declared that the medical principle of 'do no harm' requires rejecting abortion as legitimate health care. She is emphasizing protection for both mothers and their preborn children instead. Marriage Is a School of Love: Becoming the Right Person for Your Spouse
Marriage is one more school you need to graduate from - a school of love - except you will never graduate from marriage. There will always be new lessons to learn. Canada May Consider Euthanizing Disabled Newborn Babies
This past September several international media stories on Canada's MAiD program have re-ignited the baby MAiD debate.

Editorial
Surrogacy is a topic I've been contemplating a lot lately. Make no mistake: to me, it feels like one of the most serious human rights concerns of our time. You'll see it framed everywhere - movies, news, social feeds - as a kind, hopeful solution for couples who can't have children. At first glance it can seem beautiful and compassionate. But when I look more closely, especially through the lens of Catholic teaching, I worry about what surrogacy does to marriage, motherhood, children, and human dignity. From that perspective, the Church teaches that surrogacy is morally wrong. To see why, we need to start with how the Church understands life, love, and family.

There appears to be an intractable choice between family separation, on one hand, and a nation that does not enforce its own laws or protect its own borders, on the other. How to proceed? Karl Johnson

An examination of UK abortion decriminalization, disability discrimination, and late-term practice, arguing it fuels eugenics, endangers disabled babies, and erodes ethical limits under the guise of choice. Shenan J. Boquet
The surrogacy industry has commercialized the bodies of woman and their children. Human children are being treated like common property, bought for the right price. The purpose of their lives is being subordinated to the desires of their purchasers, who are not seeking relationship, but rather some form of benefit.

An unnatural act by which a person seeks sexual pleasure from which human generation cannot follow is the worst among the seven species which Thomas lists as offending against the sixth commandment. Judie Brown
If you thought the debate over providing a patient food and water had ended with Pope John Paul II's 2004 address to health care professionals, you are sadly mistaken. The Holy Father clarified Catholic teaching, but even his profound words did not end the ongoing discussions which are taking on more innuendo and less fundamental ethical guidance as time progresses.

We have completed the Office of Readings from Ash Wednesday to today and the covenant God made with the people of Israel recorded in the Books of the Old Testament, Exodus, Leviticus and Numbers, all inspired by God in the writings of Moses. Today we move into the Scriptural Readings of the New Testament and Covenant beginning with the Book of Hebrews whose perspective rests in Jesus Christ. Asia Human Rights
Even if one puts the cacophonous debate on the merits and demerits of demonetisation of Rupees 500 and 1000 currency notes aside, one thing is clear: it has hit hard the farmers all set to sow Rabi crops. Michael Cook
Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's prime minister, is scheduled to address a joint sitting of the US Congress on July 24. He will be the first foreign leader to speak to Congress four times. It will be an awkward time for politicians in both the US and Israel. President Biden is fighting for his political future both in his own party and against Donald Trump. Prime Minister Netanyahu could soon be forced out of office if his coalition collapses. Michael Cook
Every culture, it seems, has distinctive permutations of the conundrums of surrogate motherhood. A dispute from Pakistan illustrates the thorny issue of surrogacy in a Muslim society which allows polygamy.

Consider the pain of wanting to right certain wrongs that we recognize we were responsible for, but are unable to right immediately. A person with a just will refuses to accept rest until those wrongs and the damage they have caused are made right, which is why the souls in purgatory accept their suffering -- caused by the knowledge of those wrongs -- until all of them are made right, which in most cases would take decades, some even centuries. The essence of purgatory's sorrow is summed up by poet John Greenleaf Whittier (1807-92): "For of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: 'It might have been!'" When we realize that fewer than 5% of Catholic couples are practicing NFP and that the rates of sterilization, abortion, and contraception are the same among Catholics as the general population, practices the Catechism of the Catholic Church describe as "intrinsically evil," a lot of work needs to be done.
