Nagasaki, 81 Years Later: A Wound That Calls Us to Peace

Remembering the People: Today, as we remember Nagasaki, I do not want simply to speak about an event in history. I want us to remember people - fathers and mothers, children and grandparents, students and workers, priests and religious sisters - whose lives were suddenly destroyed on August 9, 1945.

As a Catholic priest who has lived and served in Japan for 61 years, I have come to understand that Nagasaki is not simply a place on a map. Nagasaki is a sacred place of memory. It is a place where the history of Japan, the history of the Catholic Church, and the tragedy of war come together. Continue reading at Fr. Jerry's Blog...

Is there really no difference between straight and gay parenting?

Michael Cook
Much of the jousting over same-sex marriage, same-sex parenting and transgender issues takes place in a fact-free arena.

True Mercy in the Final Moments of Life

Shenan J. Boquet
Any pro-lifer who has spent any significant time and effort investigating the topic of euthanasia and assisted suicide will quickly be disturbed by a characteristic that unites some of the leading pro-euthanasia activists.

Have They Never Heard Of Human Embryology?

C. Ward Kischer
The science of Human Embryology has been around for more than 100 years. It embodies profound principles: 1. when human life begins; 2. the continuum of human life; 3. the origin of stem cells; 4. how cells build tissues; 5. how tissues form the human body; 6. pregnancy, and 7. birth defects. Yet, for the last 40 years, those writing about those principles, have been lawyers, clergy, social workers and developmental biologists. They arbitrarily have modified those principles to validate contemporary social issues. Virtually none of them have referenced any textbooks or articles on Human Embryology. Unfortunately, most of them have behaved like carnival barkers.
