Protecting the Sibling
Stephanie Winn (LMFT) discusses the impact of trans-identification on families and siblings. She writes, "When one child in a family transitions -- especially an older child who has influence, charisma, or the mystique of rebellion -- parents naturally worry about the other children. Will the younger sibling follow?...Not every younger sibling is equally vulnerable. Understanding the risk and protective factors helps you calibrate your response." More Headlines…

Editorial
Since the birth of the first "test-tube baby" in 1978, in vitro fertilization (IVF) has provided hope and a path to parenthood for many couples who cannot conceive naturally. The Catholic Church, however, has consistently rejected IVF - not out of hostility to suffering couples, but because of deeper beliefs about marriage, human life, and the dignity of the human person. The Church opposes IVF largely because the process usually creates multiple embryos in a laboratory. Some are implanted, but others are frozen, discarded, or destroyed. Since the Church views each embryo as a human life, this loss of embryos is considered morally unacceptable. The inherent dignity of a human person deserves full moral and legal respect and protection. The Church teaches that embryos must never be treated merely as a means to an end.

In romantic love, the one who has fallen in love sees the beloved as God sees the beloved. But this can only happen if God gives the one who is in love (the lover) a sharing in the way He sees the beloved. And so, this is a grace; it is an illumination. And that is why in the experience of falling in love, the one in love is very much preoccupied with the beloved, thinks of the beloved a great deal more than he or she otherwise would. Judie Brown
The simple fact that every human being has a similar beginning as a single cell fertilized egg seems to be more than some people can comprehend. This came into stark focus when we read Professor Risa Cromer's article entitled "Embryo Personhood's IVF Problem: What the Data Reveals." Philip Irvin

Marriage and family are among the basic goods of the good life, of flourishing, of delights. Shakespeare is cheering us on. May we take heart and enter the dance. Susan Ciancio
Awkward. Embarrassing. Uncomfortable. Any or all of these words are likely to describe the way that parents feel when they think about teaching kids about sex. But acknowledging and overcoming these feelings - one of the more difficult parts of Catholic parenthood - is incredibly necessary if we are to raise children who see themselves as gifts to others and who then go out into the world to live as gifts.

We must ask how the technology fits into the Creation story lest it takes away from meaningful work and connection. Sheila Liaugmina
Whoever originally uttered the much misattributed statement that the death of one is a tragedy, the death of millions is a statistic, it's been often cited and reapplied for good reason. It fits the Twentieth Century and first decade of the Twenty-First. John Stonestreet
There's been a transformation in how our culture talks about sex. Since the 1960s, under the banner of so-called "sexual liberation," the dominant message in movies, television, politics, and even advertising was that sex needed to be set free from traditional and repressive rules. The symbols of this liberated sexuality were naked or nearly naked bodies - usually female ones. Judie Brown
In America today, the preborn who are beginning their lives, and the elderly and ill who are confronting their immortality, are all lumped together in the propagandists' book of death, which teaches that personal choice protects any act that renders the victim unwanted and, therefore, better off dead. Jeff J. Koloze
Senator Josh Hawley reviews the history behind the emergence of Big Tech and how the industry is stifling Americans' free speech rights. This review mentions the implications of the Big Tech monopoly on the pro-life movement and includes pertinent quotes. Michael Cook
The Council, whose co-chair is Robert P. George, of Princeton University, has just published its extended moral and medical arguments against human cloning in the journal The New Atlantis. It argues that "If research cloning is not stopped now, we face the prospect of the mass farming of human embryos and fetuses, and the transformation of the noble enterprise of biomedical research into a grotesque system of exploitation and death."

Men, what divorced or single mother's boy in your extended family needs the companionship of a man? And ladies, what girl? What boy or girl in the Big Brother Big Sister's program needs an adult mentor to spend afternoons with? You will find a Big Brothers Big Sister office in Rockford on Y Boulevard. My young boy at Big Brothers would stare at the door waiting for me, his mother told me, until I arrived. In three weeks we were fast friends. Without healthy Catholic normalcy in their lives besides their mothers your niece, nephew, or neighbor's child will, statistically speaking, fail at marriage themselves or avoid marriage and cohabitation without first encountering a positive adult man or woman' leadership. Would you want a New Year's Resolution which may save a child's life? I have just given you a great one. Marcus Roberts

Ever looked at a bag of M&Ms and thought, 'I feel excluded'? Are you unable to enjoy that delicious candy-covered chocolate because you don't see yourself represented in its mascots? Jean Lloyd C.
