Why the Catholic Church Opposes 'In Vitro Fertilization'

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. Continue reading at Fr.

Susan Ciancio
Kathleen and Ron have been foster parents for most of their 35 years of marriage, and in addition to raising four children of their own, they have now fostered over 200 children. Throughout those years, they have seen atrocities that most people cannot even imagine, but the love and joy they have brought to children and their families is immeasurable.

New! Reject the Lie of Radical Gender Ideology - Use MY "Preferred Pronouns" Instead

Philip Irvin
This is a test. Answer this typical diversity question, "What are your preferred pronouns?" The correct answer is "None." I do not have any pronouns that are based on my preferences. My pronouns are based on biology.

On this Thanksgiving Day 2013, we at PRI give thanks to God for all of our many blessings.

'Did Jesus Know He Was God?' Revisited

Anthony Zimmerman
It belonged to the fullness of Christ's mission to know, also with human awareness, supported on the console of His brain with sense perceptible images, that He is indeed the I AM.

The pro-natalist movement gathers momentum

Louis T. March
In our corrupt epoch, the rise of secular humanism has fostered a post-Christian ethos. This sad state of affairs manifests in the monetization of everything, including life itself. Thus endless wars-for-profit, cheap labour immigration and the anti-life "healthcare" industry thrive. Temporal ambition and material priorities steamroll all else. Moral relativism imbues government policy, education and popular culture. This fuels victimology, cancel culture and embittered anti-white racism.

St. Louis's Unholy War on Religious Liberty

Nathanael Blake
An ordinance passed in St. Louis, Missouri, prohibits discrimination in housing or employment on the basis of "reproductive health decisions." Promoted as an anti-discrimination measure, the law's actual purpose is to destroy the self-government of religious and pro-life organizations.

Our Morally Fractured Society

Judie Brown

We must not only think about the innocent souls we are discarding like trash, but about our own as well.

A Race to the Bottom (10/17/21 Ordinary Time 29)

Proclaim Sermons
James and John ask Jesus to "do whatever they ask of him." Jesus uses their asking for places of honor in the kingdom as an opportunity to talk about true discipleship, which is seen not in positions of glory, but in places of service. Indeed, for followers of Christ, it is a "race to the bottom" - not seeking to be recognized so much as to be in service for God.

Breaking the Political Correctivity of the Public School Monopoly:
A Review of Sol Stern's Breaking Free: Public School Lessons and the Imperative of School Choice

Jeff J. Koloze
Sol Stern's monograph is severely underrated. I heard about Breaking Free last year. I thought that I would investigate why some people do not support the right that parents have to choose what schools their children will attend. I also wanted to know why Stern's book was so controversial.

How the Culture of Death was Brought to America Through Palliative Medicine

Elizabeth Wickham
Most of us were dismayed at the death imposed on Terri Schiavo by dehydration and starvation over six years ago. We remember the false claims that her death was a natural death. We did not embrace the arguments of those who framed the crime as a "family matter." Terri's death was just one step in a well-orchestrated plan to fundamentally change the national healthcare infrastructure which has been under way for several decades. Its goal is to legalize euthanasia by the backdoor and change America's attitude about the hastening of death.

Newlyweds, Beginning with NFP
