I had every 'gender-affirming' surgery. Here's why I'm now speaking the truth
Theodore Dalrymple, senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, has said one of the ways in which neo-Marxist social justice totalitarians exert control is by humiliating people into admitting or professing that something is true which they know is not true. Forcing them to say things they know are false is the ultimate exertion of power and control.

Pope Leo's over 400 appeals for peace during first year of pontificate
In the first year of his pontificate, Pope Leo XIV has appealed hundreds of times for a reconciliation that is "unarmed and disarming," and urged the "lords of war" to listen to "a melody greater than ourselves."

SSPX is choosing the path of schism
The Catholic Church has a simple principle that ecclesial revolutionaries keep finding impressively difficult to understand: obedience to legitimate authority belongs to communion and covenant hierarchy rather than institutional convenience.

Cardinal Eijk: Same-Sex Synod Report Must Be Forcefully Refuted
Cardinal Willem Eijk: "By elevating such testimonies without doctrinal commentary, the report effectively normalizes homosexual relationships within a Church context.

Unborn Babies Can't be a Clump of Cells When They Have a Heartbeat
Whenever I talk about embryonic hearts there's usually a few people who push back, both actually pro-life and pro-choice people, who push back because, they argue, hearts don't determine personhood. Yeah, I agree with you. I don't talk about embryonic hearts because I think having a heart makes you a morally valuable person. I talk about embryonic hearts because they matter to a lot of people, whether they make you a morally valuable person or not.

France Once Again Rejects Bill to Legalize Assisted Suicide
The French Senate on Tuesday rejected a bill to legalize assisted suicide for the second time, voting down Article 2 of the legislation -- which established a right to the procedure -- by 151 votes to 118.

Abortion pills don't just end babies' lives, they can almost kill mothers too
A 25-year-old nursing student is condemning the Trump-Vance administration for allowing abortion pills to remain accessible by mail, saying that taking the pills put her in a coma and almost killed her. The fight over whether abortion pills can be mailed from pro-life states into pro-abortion states has become the most central battle for the pro-life movement since the overturn of Roe v. Wade.

The Family Shapes Health Before Government Ever Does
Walk through a community center in rural Ohio, a village clinic in Uganda, or a maternity ward in Honduras, and you'll see the same quiet truth. A healthy child was usually carried by a mother who was nourished and supported. A girl who finishes school was encouraged at a kitchen table long before she was encouraged in a classroom. Long before a ministry of health writes a policy, the family has already been shaping one. That's why, on May 15, the world recognizes the International Day of Families. It is also a reminder that women's health cannot be separated from the strength of the family itself.

In particular, the amount spent on nuclear weapons by the nine nuclear-armed countries - China, France, India, Israel, North Korea, Pakistan, Russia, UK, and the US - exceeded $100 billion in 2024 and continues to rise in 2025.
