Germany's Trans Laws are a Threat to Women, Free Speech, and Common Sense
Germany is becoming a world leader in transgender confusion. Since its implementation in 2024, the country's Self-Determination Act has given rise to an increasing number of surreal court proceedings. One such case--which, fortunately, ended in an acquittal earlier this month--involved the chairperson of a feminist group called 'Frauenheldinnen,' an organisation that has been battling the transgender spell.

New Report Shows Abortions Killed 99,470 Babies in January
A new report from the Guttmacher Institute from its Monthly Abortion Provision Study estimates a total of 99,470 abortions for January 2026. The estimate follows a Guttmacher calculation of 1,126,470 abortions for all of 2025, or an average of 93,872 abortions per month for that year.

UK transgender bathroom ban is the latest setback for the LGBT lobby
Because the landmark 2025 UK Supreme Court ruling stating that 'sex' in the Equality Act refers only to biological sex -- rather than 'gender identity,' as trans activists claimed -- the transgender movement has faced setback after setback. After being almost entirely conquered by the trans movement in less than a decade, the pendulum has been swinging back in the UK.

Science Is Making the Humanity of Unborn Babies Harder to Ignore
Baby Arthur had parvovirus, which was causing his body to fill with fluid. "His organs were failing. His heart was completely enveloped in fluid. It was struggling to pump," his mother said. "If nothing was done, he would not have made it much longer."

Abortion Industry Promotes New, Dangerous Chemical Abortion Regimen
Pro-abortion organizations are touting a dangerous, unproven chemical abortion regimen to stymie potential regulations on the abortion drug mifepristone.

Sex-Affirming Care vs "Gender-Affirming Care"
"Gender-Affirming Care is dressed in the language of compassion. Yet behind the reassuring vocabulary sits the automatic medicalisation of a person's sense of identity...Therapy has moved from helping people understand themselves to helping them reshape their bodies and faces so that their appearance reflects an inner psychological reality."

Gaza children trapped 'in an endless cycle of suffering': UNICEF
The dire conditions in the Gaza Strip are trapping children "in an endless cycle of suffering" and their heartbroken parents can only look on, an official with the UN child rights agency UNICEF said on Friday in a fresh appeal for greater humanitarian access to support families in the war-ravaged enclave.

Canada Has Euthanized Over 100,000 People
In April 2026, Canada surpassed 100,000 reported euthanasia deaths since legalization in June 2016. Canada doesn't need to further expand euthanasia to people who are mentally ill but rather Canada needs to completely review its euthanasia killing program.

UN Report: Unseen Child War Victims Soar
The most advanced age in human history is tolerating a kind of global war on children that no normal person, left or right, would defend if they saw the numbers laid bare.

Ebola epidemic spreading rapidly and outpacing containment efforts

Who Decides When A Life Is Valuable?

Worthy? Who decides? When hospitals, media, and policy accept ending or withholding life for the vulnerable, I see how we begin to treat some people as less than fully human - problems to manage rather than neighbors to love. In this article I ask who judges a life's value and move from institutions to the everyday moments where dignity is made or denied: a hurried bedside conversation, a refused invitation, a steady presence. Drawing on my Catholic faith, Scripture, and stories of the elderly, disabled, and marginalized, I examine how assumptions about usefulness erode worth and offer practical compassion - listening, shared meals, sacramental care - that restores dignity and says, "You matter."

Ethical Perspectives

New! Gen Z and Men Who Yearn

Beatrice Scudeler
For a generation marked by a noticeable gender split on political beliefs as well as by ever declining marriage rates, it would seem that young women still retain a desire for a specific vision of manhood. But what exactly is that vision?

New! A Father's Cry

Calvin Barnes
My hope in writing this article is that people come to truly understand the magnitude of abortion and that the pain it causes can last a lifetime. I suppose I will continue to adapt, but I will never get over the untimely death of my preborn child.

New! War, Restraint, and the Christian Conscience

Russell L. Lackey
The church's task is neither to baptize the sword nor to pretend the sword has no place in a fallen world. It is to stand beneath the cross, telling the truth.

New! From Promised Autonomy to Delivered Harm: Structural Violence in the Era of Mail-Order Abortion Drugs

Gavin Oxley
Government systems should be designed with care in mind, not weaponized to harm abortion-vulnerable women.

New! What Binds Marriage Forever?

Nathanael Blake
Only a revitalization of the richness of Christian marriage will suffice as a bulwark against the insanity, exploitation, and selfishness of the gender and sexual revolutions.

The Same Heart

Ron Panzer
A short poem about the work the work we do in healthcare.

Should they be driven off the road?

Shannon Roberts
Giving up driving takes away so much independence for an elderly person that it is no wonder many are very hesitant to give it up.

The ethics of uterus transplants to 'transwomen'

Margaret Somerville
Currently, an alternative possibility for gestating human babies is on the horizon. Exogenesis, the use of artificial uteruses, so no human would be involved in gestating the child. This has already been achieved in the laboratory with lambs. When asked whether they would transplant a uterus to a transwoman (a biological man) to allow her to carry a child, they did not rule it out. Uterine transplants to biological men are another complex ethical issue raised in the context of reproductive technologies.

Measures to Cultivate Family Life

Anthony Zimmerman
The articles appeared monthly during January-November 1965, and there is one of April, 1966. Some are now quaint and outdated, but they open a view on affairs as they looked 35 years ago.

Bad news day for witch-hunters as Regnerus is vindicated

Michael Kirke
The University of Texas - Austin has done a thoroughly good piece of work in vindicating Professor Mark Regnerus in the face of allegations of what amounted to professional misconduct. Perhaps its officials feel it is a pity that they cannot make counter-charges of time-wasting against those who trumped up the charges against him.

We need to fight the misinformation campaign waged by the trans lobby

Dianna Kenny
Several key medical journals, including JAMA, have identified the profound harms caused by medical and health misinformation. They assert that health misinformation on social media disproportionately harms female adolescents, racial and ethnic minority youth, LGBQT+ youth, and other marginalized groups.

Positive peer pressure - four tips

19-year old Georgina Bartter collapsed and died at a Sydney music festival from a suspected adverse reaction to drugs

Deconstructing autonomy: a euthanasia advocate in perplexity

Michael Cook
It could be a novel or a movie, but it's real life: when her own husband suddenly becomes a quadriplegic, a bioethicist famous for her advocacy of legalised voluntary euthanasia keeps him alive even though he wants to die.

My sheep hear my voice

Douglas McManaman
It is Church teaching that there are people outside the visible Church who are invisibly part of that Church; for there are many non-Christians who recognize the voice of the shepherd, and so who belong to the one flock. Their recognition of the shepherd’s voice is not a conscious recognition, but an unconscious one.

Sex Drives and Original Sin

Anthony Zimmerman
For many centuries Fathers and theologians theorized that lack of control of our sex automatisms is somehow associated with the transmission of original sin. Defective sex propagates a defect-laden offspring, so went the theory. This theory spawned an ambiguity about even licit sex which endured for many centuries. Today we would have to ask a new question: if the original sin is propagated by sexual intercourse, then how are in vitro children affected?
