Called to Be Counter-Cultural
The greatest danger the Church faces is not just hostility from outside, but compromise from within. The Church loses its saltiness not when it is persecuted, but when it becomes indistinguishable from everything around it. Our witness is only credible when our communities actually live what we proclaim: when Christians are known by their love, their honesty, their care for the poor, and their joy.

UCLA Caught Buying Aborted Baby Parts, Altering Paperwork to Hide It
Liberty Counsel Founder and Chairman Mat Staver said, "The fetal organ harvesting business murders innocent babies for profit. These public records obtained by the Center for Medical Progress show that the work must continue to expose these heinous acts by these abortionists, harvesters, researchers, universities, and companies. The barbaric slaughter of babies for profit must stop."

The Moral Problem With IVF: Human Beings Aren't Property

"Give Them Something to Eat": The Hungry Children of Asia

Who are the Poor? It is difficult for me to look at a photograph of a hungry child and simply turn the page. Perhaps it is because I have spent so many years working with young people at Kochi University and traveling across Asia to share the pro-life message. When you look into the face of a child who does not have enough to eat, hunger is no longer just a statistic. It has a face. It is a little boy or girl who is hungry today and whose parents may not know where tomorrow's food will come from. How many children worldwide suffer from hunger? The numbers are staggering. According to the latest estimates from UNICEF, the World Health Organization, and the World Bank, 42.8 million children under five... Continue reading at Fr. Jerry's Blog...

New! A Democrat's Ideological Journey on Abortion

Joshua Sohn
So long as the pro-life movement is part of the GOP coalition, the attractiveness of the pro-life message is affected by the attractiveness of the GOP. And it's hard to grow the pro-life tent if the pro-life movement is bound up with a hard-right GOP that is repellent to centrist and center-left voters.

New! From Tiananmen to Bulldozing Churches: China's New Crackdown Exposes the Bloodthirsty Nature of Communism

Rod Lampard
Bishop Fulton Sheen argued Communism and capitalism share a common root - materialism divorced from morality. That affinity, this piece argues, explains China's persecution of Christians today.

New! Beware the Old Man on Campus

Jeremy Adams
There are certain universal and timeless truths about what works in a classroom that no technological advancement (even a humanoid robot) will ever change. And this knowledge is where being the old man on campus can have power and resonance.

AI, Automation, and the Meaning of Work

Jordan J. Ballor
Abuse is no argument against proper use. But AI's challenges and opportunities are bound up with identifying the scale and scope of proper use as well as the consequences of abuse, and how to distinguish one from another.

Toward an Understanding of Suicide

Ronald Rolheiser
Every year I try to write an article on suicide because it is perhaps the most misunderstood of all deaths and it wreaks a unique havoc among the family and the loved ones left behind.

Why do girls dress like that?

Carolyn Moynihan
... it's easy for parents to slip into denial. We wouldn't dream of dropping our daughters off at college and saying: "Study hard and floss every night, honey - and for heaven's sake, get laid!" But that's essentially what we're saying by allowing them to dress the way they do while they're still living under our own roofs.

Does the downfall of Harvard's president mark the death throes of woke?

Kurt Mahlburg
The data points are all around us - whether seen in a growing awareness of the futility of transgender surgery, the hypocrisy of elite climate panic peddlers, falling support for same-sex relationships, or the dawning realisation that the cult's high priests would sooner support Hamas terrorists than the babies they murder.

Steinfels' "War Over Abortion" and Notre Dame University

Dianne N. Irving
In a recent article in the New York Times by Peter Steinfels ("Roman Catholics' War Over Abortion", NYTimes, May 9, 2009) Steinfels attempts to "explain" the concerns of Roman Catholics over the invitation to President Obama to speak and receive an honorary doctorate degree at Notre Dame University by marginalizing that opposition. While his remarks may come off as classic dissident American Catholic and is a bit "tacky", he is probably accurate to describe these efforts as exemplifying a "civil war" among American Catholics. And it's about time ... if not too late.

The Demons of Blasphemy and Scandal

Judie Brown
The Catechism of Saint Pius X states: "Blasphemy is a horrible sin which consists in words or acts of contempt or malediction against God, the Blessed Virgin, the Saints, or sacred things." The latest example of this would be the shocking misrepresentation of the Last Supper portrayed by malevolent individuals during the Olympic games. This disgusting display reminds us of Saint Paul's admonition to the Hebrews: "Take care, brothers, that none of you ever has a wicked heart, so unbelieving as to turn away from the living God."
