"My Voice, My Choice" and the Silence Beneath It
The Church reminds the modern world that voice itself is a gift, received before it is exercised. Perhaps the most urgent question is not whose voice will prevail, but whether we still remember the One who spoke us into being. Pope Leo Blasts Abortion: "Every Human Life Must be Safeguarded From Conception" The Pope told Spanish lawmakers that ?every human life must be recognized and safeguarded from conception to its natural end, in every circumstance of its existence.? The Porn Industry Doesn't Just Sell Sex, It Sells Violent Abuse of Women Violence against women is common in mainstream pornography, yet many viewers may not recognize how frequently aggression is portrayed as normal or desirable. This article explores the research on violence in porn and examines how repeated exposure to these messages can influence attitudes toward women, sex, and consent. Aborting Babies Because They Have Down Syndrome is Wrong. Period. End of Story
Targeting unborn children for abortion because they carry an extra chromosome is wrong. Period. End of story. Pope Leo XIV: 'The elderly can be life teachers' "The elderly, in serene acceptance of the limitations imposed by the passing years--without hiding them or being ashamed of them--can be life teachers, able to show everyone--and especially young people--that the value of a life is not measured by efficiency or self-sufficiency, but by the capacity to love and to be loved, to give and to receive." U.S. bishops consecrate nation to Sacred Heart of Jesus The U.S. bishops consecrated the nation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus on June 11, entrusting the United States to Christ's merciful love during a solemn Mass as part of their spring plenary assembly. When it Comes to Abortion, Men Should Have a Voice Too We've collectively been so inundated with the "fact" that abortion is a "woman's decision" that it's difficult to remember that this is an absurd proposition on a gazillion different levels. 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. More Headlines…

Editorial
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."
Continue reading at Fr. Jerry's Blog... Ethical Perspectives Stephen G. Gilles By re-energizing a state's pro-life base and attracting enough swing voters to tip the scales, the movement can make real, even if "imperfect," progress toward ending elective abortion in America. 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. Bill Muehlenberg Pope Leo XIV's first encyclical confronts the promises and perils of artificial intelligence, urging humanity to defend human dignity in an increasingly dehumanised age. Gregory E. Ganssle Both Jesus and Nietzsche announce in the same sort of bold terms their own visions of life and death; prosperity and adversity. They set before us two paths to consider: one leading toward the flourishing life and one leading toward death. One toward liberation and one into oppression. Which path will we choose? Shenan J. Boquet Euthanasia is a false solution to the drama of suffering, a solution that is not worthy of man. The real answer cannot be, in fact, to give death, as 'gentle' as this may be, but to testify to the love that helps us to face pain and agony in a humane way.
Tom Bartolomeo He is the reason for the season. We celebrate in faith, hope and love the joy of Christmas in a new garden to which we journey. "Come follow me" Jesus said to his disciples and to all of us
Judie Brown Love, kindness, and compassion. These are words that seem to be finding their way out of the treatment process when it comes to dealings with someone suffering from a terminal illness. We must always remember how truly important and vital each human being is - no matter the stage of life. Michael Cook A 14-year-old British girl who was dying of cancer won a court battle last month to be cryogenically frozen in the hope of being revived in 200 years' time. Judie Brown A naval torpedo looks like a long, round bullet. Mifepristone, the abortion pill, looks similar but without the pointed nose. Both are instruments designed to cause maximum damage and death. While feminists roar about the necessity of having such a weapon to kill preborn children, we shudder in horror. This is because we realize that, in America, killing has become as easy as clipping a hangnail, to quote pro-life hero Mildred Fay Jefferson, MD.
Margaret Somerville Is there a sense of the sacred that even the non-religious can share? ...we should all ponder the question novelist Carol Shields puts into the mouth of one of her famous characters, Larry, a middle-aged Canadian: "What will happen to a world that's lost its connection with the sacred? We long for ecstasy, to stand outside of the self in order to transcend that self, but how do we get there?" Xavier Symons An Australian health tourism company is offering a new package for couples seeking a sex-selective IVF. Sex selective treatment is banned in Australia, but couples can now holiday in Thailand whilst having the procedure done. Tom Bartolomeo What is there not to love as did Blessed Theresa of Calcutta who embraced Christ daily in the flesh of a men or women dying in the gutters of streets in India or Pope Francis who will celebrate Holy Thursday washing the feet of adolescents in prison. All saints, canonized or only known by God, live the lives they profess, "Christian and Catholic". Marcus Roberts Will the economic burden be as bad as we fear? After all, what it means to be 65 today is not what it meant to be 65 back in the early part of the twentieth century. Brian Clowes This document is a compendium and summary of the latest scientific information about the most widely-used contraceptive device in the world today -- the male condom. This summary draws from many sources, but focuses primarily on medical journals. It is intended to be a resource for those who need straightforward, simple and concise facts about condoms. Further pro-life sources of information on condoms, readily available on the Internet, are listed at the end of this document. John Stonestreet Christians must insist that men and women are real. We must also insist that fact doesn't compel a competition. There is no hierarchy of human dignity.
