Softball Hall of Famer on the Future of Men in Women's Sports - 'Girls Are Going to Get Wiped Out'
As the ridiculous battle over biological men playing in women's sports inexplicably rages on, the most inexplicable thing that has come from it is actual women who either really cannot see the implications, both physical and otherwise, or are too afraid to admit to the alphabet mafia that they really do and won't speak up.

After 10 Years of Covering the Trans Madness, Here's What I Learned
Journalist Brandon Showalter recaps the horrors of the transgender movement: "Those of us who've been doing the hard work exposing the madness against an impenetrable mainstream media blockade can all tell you what it's like to learn about all the horrors, only to be gaslit with flat denials like 'that's not happening.' Then you show concrete proof, and it becomes 'well, it's only a few people,' and then maybe 'why are you so obsessed with this small, strange issue?'."

When Silence Feels Too Easy: A Christian Reflection on Abortion Pills

There is a quiet change happening in our world. It is not loud, and many people do not notice it right away. But it matters. More and more, abortion is happening not in clinics, but at home, through pills. It is private, fast, and often done alone. I never imagined I would feel this deeply about something so often discussed in whispers, but headlines such as this, "Abortion Pills Now Kill 2/3 of All Babies Killed in Abortions," make it harder to ignore. Many people say the procedure is a good thing. They speak about freedom, control, and privacy. I understand why that sounds appealing. But as a Catholic, I cannot see it that way. For me, this is not just a social issue - it is spiritual. It raises more profound questions about life, truth, and what we believe about who we are. Continue reading at Fr. Jerry's Blog...

Ethical Perspectives

New! Don't Worry. Be Conservative.

Ben Peterson
The war on spiritual poverty is worth fighting, and we need foot soldiers and generals who are willing to wage it.

New! America's Birthrate Crisis: The Contraceptive Roots of the Population Bust

Shenan J. Boquet
Is the world facing an existentially threatening crisis of overpopulation? Until a few years ago, practically every major Western politician, institution, and media outlet was in lockstep. Yes, the world was overpopulated. And it was only going to get worse, with consequences including ecological disaster, warfare, famine, hunger, and poverty.

New! Abortion Drug Crisis: Four Years After Overturning of Roe v Wade, Abortions Have Nearly Doubled

Dan Hart
Since the Supreme Court handed down its Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade four years ago Wednesday, allowing dozens of states to establish laws protecting unborn babies, abortions have nonetheless almost doubled in the U.S. due to the abortion pill, which is being shipped from dozens of domestic and international vendors across state lines in violation of dozens of state pro-life laws.

New! Roi Yozevitch Is AI Taking Over the "Religion of the Book"?

Roi Yozevitch
An AI does not only "remember" all the words. But as any ChatGPT user can testify, it finds connections between different sources, summarizes them, generates challenging questions, and even deduces new insights. It can therefore seem as though these machines are well-versed in almost any topic.

New! Eleven Years After Obergefell, Who Will Speak for the Children?

Joseph A. DeAngelo
The work, eleven years in, begins with honesty; the admission that Obergefell was not a neutral expansion of rights but a substitution of one set of duties for another, and that the duties it displaced were owed chiefly to children.

A Brief Note on the "Right to Marry" and the "Right to Choose"

Douglas McManaman
Synopsis: As for the unqualified expression "right to choose", we need only ask those who employ it: Why not complete the expression? We all know that there really is no such thing as a right to choose per se. One must indicate what is being chosen: ie, child abuse, racism, a new car, or destroying developing human life, etc.

Understanding the Slavery-Abortion Analogy

Justin Dyer
In both Dred Scott and Roe, the justices of the Supreme Court had to decide what it means to be a person, whether human beings can be considered property, and what it means to be deprived of liberty. They got it wrong both times.

The Fifth Glorious Mystery: The Crowning of Mary as Queen of Heaven

Anthony Zimmerman
The fifth glorious mystery invites us to celebrate Mary's glory with her and to ask her help in all things that we have in mind and heart, for the Church, for others, for ourselves.

The 97 Percent Fight

Judie Brown
The figure first emerged as Planned Parenthood, feigning that the fight against its taxpayer funding is all about abortion, began publicly proclaiming that only three percent of its services were abortions. That meant 97 percent of what it does is not about abortion.

Hong Kong: not for families

Marcus Roberts
Currently, the Hong Kong fertility rate is one of the lowest in the world at around 1.1 children per woman (remember, the rate at which each generation replaces itself naturally is about 2.1 children per woman).

Theological Uncertainty

Douglas McManaman
This is the one text in the New Testament I am aware of in which Jesus clearly counsels us not to trust too readily in the way things appear to us. There is so much about people that is always outside a comfortable range of certainty. We cannot be certain whether the darnel in our hand is really darnel; it might turn out to be wheat because they look very much alike. The converse is also true: we cannot be certain that what appears to be wheat is actually so; it might turn out to be darnel, which is poisonous at the roots.

Do Not Seek Your Kingdom of Heaven on Earth
18th Sunday in Ordinary Time (Cycle B)

Douglas McManaman
As Russian Philosopher and former Marxist Nicholas Berdyaev pointed out, the social failures of Christianity were the result of being too much wrapped up in this world, not as a result of being too other-worldly. Rather, it is when people have secretly sought their kingdom of heaven here, on earth, that they began to compromise with justice, and little by little silence the voice of their own conscience, and gradually sell their soul for an earthly paradise.

Costa Rican police have arrested a doctor for organ trafficking.

Indonesia: Wiranto's Cabinet appointment will strengthen impunity

Asia Human Rights
The Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) is gravely dismayed by President Joko Widodo's decision to appoint retired Army General Wiranto as a Cabinet Minister of Politics, Law and Security (Menkopolhukam).
