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?'."

Do not dismiss the complaint as some pro-life ruse. There has been a dramatic shift from surgical to pharmaceutical abortion.

The second pill induces contractions that result in expulsion of embryonic and fetal remains, along with other uterine contents.

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...

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.

Intent to Confuse?

Judie Brown
One would think that the pro-Sister McBride forces would soon get so sick of beating a dead horse that they would finally let up on Bishop Olmsted and his honest, caring message about the intended abortion that occurred last year in a Catholic hospital in the diocese of Phoenix, Arizona. No such luck. These communicators of false information are up to their eyeballs in bad theology and are wreaking so much havoc that the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' Committee on Doctrine issued a carefully worded document for the bishops during their meetings of this past week.

Shengnu women and boyfriends for rent

Marcus Roberts
We've talked before on this blog about the fact that China has a gender imbalance problem in favour of boys. This is due to a cultural preference for boys allied to modern ultrasound technology which allows one to abort a baby of the "wrong"gender (exacerbated by the pressures of the one-child policy).

Moral Dysphoria

Organ Donation and "Presumed Consent"

John Stonestreet
Following the lead of the province of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick became the second jurisdiction in Canada to adopt a policy of "presumed consent" for organ and tissue donation. Instead of willingly opting in to be an organ donor, residents 19 years and older, with limited exceptions, will be opted in by default.

Sending the Wounded to the Front

Nathanael Blake
Transgenderism is culturally powerful and financially lucrative - every troubled teenage girl who identifies as trans is worth a fortune to the medical-pharmaceutical complex. Greed and ideology are a potent combination, so it is no wonder that almost all safeguards have been abandoned when it comes to transitioning children. But this greed may be their undoing. ...[L]awsuits may bring down the medical and pharmaceutical cartels that profited from hurting them. The transgender monolith will fall as its victims stand up to it.

China Ratchets Up One-Child Policy; Ignores Calls from Population Experts

Steven Mosher
Recent reports from the Guangdong province show coercion in China's infamous one-child policy is once again on the rise. Women in the southern city of Huizhou, which has a population of 4 million, are being targeted for sterilization. Those who have one child are being forced to wear IUDs. Those who have two children are subject to tubal ligation. Those who bear an "illegal" child are being denied all government services. This means life without access to schools, hospitals, retirement benefits, etc.

Healing and Gratitude
28th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Douglas McManaman
I don’t know about you, but I notice that fewer and fewer people say “thank you” when you hold the door open for them, either at the Mall or a Tim Horton’s, or at school. People say “please” less frequently as well. In former times, parents used to stress the importance of “please” and “thank you” to their kids. It was regarded as the primary way to relate to others.
