Hong Kong judges uphold Cardinal Zen's conviction over fund to help protesters
A panel of three appellate judges in Hong Kong this week upheld convictions for retired Cardinal Joseph Zen and four other pro-democracy advocates who operated a legal defense and medical fund that supported people engaged in widespread protests in 2019 and 2020. Girls Just Want a Locker Room
I watched the video from outside Barclays Center on Saturday more than once because I wanted to be sure I was seeing what I thought I was seeing. A crowd showed up to support Sophie Cunningham and a pretty uncomplicated proposition: girls deserve locker rooms and sports of their own. Another crowd showed up to oppose them. And based on what I watched, some of the descriptions of the demonstration don't look much like the video. What a Male Breastfeeding Image Reveals About the Transgender Movement
Conservatives may be tempted to laugh at the absurdity of a breastfeeding organization featuring a man attached to breast pumps, but we shouldn't simply move on--it reveals something important about the effect of transgenderism on America's institutions. First, what happened? Confusing the innocent
Australia now has a confused generation of teenagers raised in the shadow of gender identity divorced from biological reality, according to Professor Emerita of Psychology Dianna Kenny. ...The definitions of 'man' and 'woman' were removed from the law. As a new protected attribute, the concept of gender identity uncoupled from biological sex was introduced. Abortion now leading cause of death in Scotland, a new analysis of data has revealed
According to the most recent data published by Public Health Scotland, there were 18,783 terminations of pregnancy recorded in a single year. ...When these figures are integrated into wider human mortality data from the National Records of Scotland--where all cancers combined accounted for 16,486 deaths recorded in Scotland in 2025, ischaemic heart disease for 7,000 deaths and dementia accounting for 6,612 deaths--the loss of unborn life stands as the highest single source of mortality in the nation. This Isn't Healthcare: How the abortion pill kills and injures
Heavily marketed as 'safe and effective,' the abortion pill has rapidly grown in popularity among women seeking abortions. It now accounts for about 65% of all abortions. Pro-abortion groups portray the abortion pill as just another 'treatment,' even using the moniker 'medication abortion.' But medication is meant to heal, not intentionally harm. The abortion pill is not healthcare. The Mothers Who Regret Their Children
New York Magazine earlier this year published an article featuring women who say they regret having children. The lead sets the stage: 'Sooner or later, everyone has to decide whether to give up lazy weekends, disposable income, and overall peace of mind to have a baby instead.' What follows are three stories of young mothers who look back on their pre-baby lives with longing and conclude that motherhood itself is the source of their unhappiness. With Abortion Pills, The Abortion Clinic Has Moved Into the Home
For most of the modern abortion debate, we could focus on a physical location. There was a clinic. There was a doctor. There were protesters outside and counselors nearby. Legislatures debated how those facilities should be regulated, courts debated what restrictions states could impose, and the pro-life movement organized much of its work around the places where abortions occurred. Increasingly, abortion doesn't take place in a designated space. It happens at home. Canadian Doctors Promote Plan to Euthanize Newborn Babies
A Quebec physicians' group is again promoting euthanasia for newborn babies, saying euthanasia can be an "appropriate treatment" for infants with severe disabilities or malformations even though Canadian law still forbids the practice and a baby cannot consent. Why Grandparents Matter More Than Ever

Editorial
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.

A non-repressed and openly gay Catholic is one who can live that faith without looking at women as inferiors, but as equals, who is free from the need to create and control an environment that fuels an unhealthy narcissism that exploits others, and who lives in hope and with a healthy self-esteem, and yes, a certain degree of pride. Marianna Orlandi
Technology is not our problem. Our problem is an obsessive concern for our own good, our distrust of others, and the terror of losing ourselves. No algorithm will solve this. Steven Mosher
Monty Patterson loved being a dad with his whole heart. So when a nurse called to tell him that his 18-year-old daughter, Holly, was in the ICU, he dropped everything and rushed to the hospital. That day quickly became the worst of his life. Glenn Stanton
Pride Month 2026 marked the date on which two of its groundbreaking leaders publicly confessed their movement's ungovernable anthropological problem. Shenan J. Boquet
On Wednesday, August 12, a baby boy was born three weeks early in a hospital near Dallas. This is hardly an unusual event. However, that this particular child was born was a near miracle. Baby Gabriel had been the target of a conspiracy against his life that nearly resulted in his destruction, and which has drawn international scrutiny of one of the darkest, and least-talked-about aspects of the surrogacy industry.

The Asian Human Rights Commission wishes to inform you about an essay with title "Considering Victims to Strengthen Truth and Reconciliation Commission." E. Christian Brugger
My recent Zenit pieces on marital consummation precipitated a delicate question related to the satisfaction of spouses - particularly wives - in marital conjugal relations. I offer here some general thoughts on the question. This essay's content may not be appropriate for children to read. Michael Cook
The idea of a slippery slope for euthanasia is mocked by supporters. Carolyn Moynihan
In the wake of New York's same-sex marriage law plural marriage is getting an airing, but no-one wants to talk about the kids.

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. Douglas McManaman
A student recently asked me: "Sir, where do you think the world is headed?" It was a very interesting question, but I had to respond by telling him that I have no idea. There is just too much to know to be able to answer a question like that, and all I know at this point is what has been made available to me within the past 52 years, which is really not that much. All of us are subject to an availability heuristic, but few of us seem to be aware of it. Janet E. Smith
Cowdin and Tuohey argue that certain trends in ethical theory and moral theology warrant a rethinking of Catholic principles; they further argue that a proper rethinking would justify certain sterilizations... In sum, Cowdin and Tuohey's strategy for calling the Church to reconsider its condemnation of sterilization is marked by serious misunderstandings of Church teaching on the nature and source of moral norms, on autonomy, on bioethical principles, and on the meaning of sexuality. They provide no impetus for moralists to turn over the decision-making on such matters as the morality of sterilization to physicians. Xavier Symons
Cloning humans might be one step closer, with scientists in the US managing to use adult skin cells to produce an embryo clone. John B. Shea
On March 31, 2005, an article appeared in the Toronto Star in which N. Jane Pepino et al. advocated the sale of 'Plan B', a 'morning after' pill (MAP), without either a prescription or the need to consult a physician or a pharmacist. The article claimed that 'Plan B' levonorgestrel when used as an MAP does not abort, reduces the rate of surgical abortions, and is medically safe. These claims are not correct. Karen Malec
Even though the workshop's alleged purpose, according to NCI Director Andrew Von Eschenbach, was to formally evaluate and discuss the medical literature, the agency's scientists thumbed their noses at women and orchestrated a radically different scenario. Only one viewpoint was presented - that there is no association between abortion and the disease.
