Why Americans Are Falling Out of Love with LGBT 'Pride' Same-sex marriage was sold to the public as loving and harmless. We were told that "love is love" and that "marriage equality" would have no negative effects on the rest of us. But the slope was slippery, and assurances of 'live and let live' proved to be a lie. They Euthanized My Mom and Told Me Her Ashes Were in the Mail We don't solve pain anymore we sedate it, ignore it, or euthanize it. What does that say about us? Marc Rubio Says UN Has "Lost Its Purpose" by Promoting Abortion
Secretary of State Marco Rubio recently told Congress that the United Nations has "lost its purpose" and "lost its mission" by promoting abortion through international family planning programs. Doctor Euthanizes 12-Year-Old Child The media is (properly) reporting that a Dutch doctor euthanized -- i.e. killed -- a sick twelve-year-old child (illness not reported). It is a "first" under a new Dutch law that allows euthanasia for children ages one to twelve. New York bishops say gender-neutral language law 'mocks the foundation of the family' Under the new law, "mother" would be replaced with "gestating parent," and "father" would become "non-gestating parent." Image vs. Truth: Bodily Confusion in a Virtual World From Evie Estes with Ruah Woods Institute: "The Church does not teach that our bodies are perfect in their present state or that appearances are irrelevant. It teaches something deeper: our bodies have dignity because they are animated by a spiritual soul & our sexual identity is part of this unity." Pope to grandparents and elderly: God's loving eyes are upon you at all times The Pope acknowledged that quite a few elderly people share the painful feeling of being forgotten, especially as they experience loneliness or sometimes being reduced to a bed number or illness.

Editorial
If I could sit down with a group of university students and young adults today, there is one conversation I would want us to have. It would not begin with computers or robots. It would begin with a much more important question: What kind of person do you want to become?
As you prepare for your future, you will make decisions about your studies, your career, your friendships, and perhaps one day your marriage and family. At the same time, you are entering a world where Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming part of everyday life. Technology will influence many of those decisions. But it should never define the person you become. That is why this article is not really about AI. It is about you. It is about building a life of wisdom, character, and faith in a world that is changing faster than ever before.
The eight questions that follow are an invitation to think beyond technology and to consider something far more important: how to build a life of character in an age of Artificial Intelligence. Continue reading at Fr. Jerry's Blog... Ethical Perspectives Samantha Stephenson The elimination of suffering will not produce joy. If we seek to be truly free, we must acknowledge our responsibilities to one another. We will flourish to the extent that we all can flourish. Seth C. Oranburg The Talmudic and rabbinic tradition diverges from the latest encyclical, and the divergence highlights a paradox in the papal logic. Leo XIV's strongest move, his categorical prohibition against the use of AI to make "lethal or otherwise irreversible decisions," demands a more principled distinction between the Switchblade and the CyberKnife. Susan Ciancio Not knowing or loving yourself is one of the fiercest battles we face as human beings. Countless people suffer from low self-esteem, from self-doubt, and even from self-loathing. But what happens when these feelings are compounded by a lack of comfort or even a disgust about your sex organs? This is what people face when they experience gender dysphoria, and it's incredibly confusing when it's a child - especially when it's your child. Marie Brousseau The elderly are immense gifts to society, yet too often today we see that our culture focuses on personal fulfillment, which can then lead to the neglect of people who are no longer deemed necessary or productive. This includes the sick and the elderly, who may feel lonely, abandoned, and isolated from their own families. Emily Hancock AI can shift how we communicate with one another, what work looks like for many roles, how relationships unfold, and how we order our lives. Much of our reaction to these projects reflects the understanding that this technology has the power to reshape the way humanity marches into the future, and not always in a way that serves the greater good.
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. Marcus Roberts Today, the number of international migrants (defined as anyone who has changed their "country of usual residence" involuntarily or voluntarily) has reached 272 million people, or 3.5 percent of the global population. Janet E. Smith My topic is the Church's teaching on contraception and various sexual issues. As you know, we live in a culture that thinks that contraception is one of the greatest inventions in the history of mankind. If you were to ask people if they wanted to give up their car or their computer or their contraceptive, it would be a hard choice to make. It's really considered to be something that has really put us, greatly, into the modern age and one of the greatest advances of modern medicine and modern times. Yet, there's this archaic church that tells us that, really, this is one of the worst inventions of mankind. According to the Church, contraception is one of the things that's plunging us into a kind of a disaster. Louis T. March The Earth4All's "Great Leap" scenario is as utopian as it gets. Asia Human Rights The political parties have ganged up to undermine the ongoing transitional justice process, to flout the verdict of the Supreme Court of Nepal - on how those involved in crimes committed in the conflict period can be given amnesty, and to ignore the voices of conflict victims and national and international human rights community.
Daniel Philpott Justice, in the Bible and in the Christian tradition, demands that we protect and remember every vulnerable and isolated person, made in the image of God. As reopening moves ahead, a surge of mercy to protect the elderly and others who are confined might prove a healing tonic for a bitterly riven society - and for the Christian church. Douglas McManaman If the sick - and this includes the emotionally sick, those who are not well psychologically, as well as physically - , are in your presence and you have become Christ to a significant degree, you will bring healing to their souls, their emotional lives, and that can heal the body as well. And if you are full of light, you will drive out the darkness, because light chases the darkness, not the other way around. And so those who live in darkness, whose lives are entangled in the diabolical, will feel the difference in your presence, and they will either reject you in favor of darkness, or they will begin to escape the clutches of the evil that oppresses them. Jeff J. Koloze Lisa De Niscia's 2011 novel Momentary Mother is a fine example of fiction describing the post-abortive mother. Those who support abortion will not appreciate the main character, Lulu, who, as her name symbolizes, is a wonderful illustration of how Post-Abortion Syndrome radically affects mothers who choose to exercise their right to abort their unborn son or daughter. Marcus Roberts Its labour force is shrinking and China will lose its competitive edge in that field. Men will find it harder to find wives. The population will get older and greyer. In fact, there's plenty to suggest that we should talk about the one child policy in the same category as the Cultural Revolution and the Great Leap Forward. That is, it's another tragic disaster that we can lay at the feet of an overweening despotic state. Let us hope, once again, that this disaster will be brought to an end soon. Matt Ransom Amid controversy surrounding recent remarks from the US President, it's worth stepping back to understand who Pope Leo XIV truly is and what his role entails.
