Protecting the Sibling
Stephanie Winn (LMFT) discusses the impact of trans-identification on families and siblings. She writes, "When one child in a family transitions -- especially an older child who has influence, charisma, or the mystique of rebellion -- parents naturally worry about the other children. Will the younger sibling follow?...Not every younger sibling is equally vulnerable. Understanding the risk and protective factors helps you calibrate your response."

A new study out of Finland showed that adolescents and young adults who underwent sex-rejecting procedures (puberty blockers, "cross-sex" hormones, or surgery) "had worse mental health outcomes than a control group that did not receive such bodily alterations.

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.

When I saw this recent prayer petition at a daily Mass: "For all who have died or suffered because of violence," I couldn't help but think of all the babies who die so violently under the legal shield of medical, clinical, and chemical abortion. Francis X. Maier
The decisive question for this and every age, Trueman argues, is Who and what is Man? Anthony Jose Sirven
The definition of "personhood" isn't an issue we can push off much longer; technology will make us face it sooner than some might prefer. Shenan J. Boquet
Of all the saints, Joseph stands as the model of faithful fatherhood: the man whom God entrusted with the protection of the Holy Family, and who fulfilled that mission with quiet, unwavering devotion. In him we see what marriage and fatherhood are meant to be, i.e. a sacrificial gift of self, ordered toward the good of spouse and children, rooted in obedience to God's plan. Susan Ciancio
A mother recently told me that, when she found out that her baby had a 99% chance of having Down syndrome, her first course of action was to do an online search for what she could expect. What she found frightened her.
Natural Family Planning
There was a time years ago when one might sometimes hear the complaint: "All they ever talk about from the pulpit is sex!" Today the chances are you would hear the opposite "When are we going to hear a sermon on sexual morality?" Well, be disappointed no longer. Here we go - specifically on the subject of contraception.

A decade after the 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges decision legalised same-sex marriage nationwide in the USA, the possibility of its reversal has re-emerged in public discourse. The debate is fierce, spanning across legal, cultural, and political spheres. Judie Brown
Catholic News Service reports that the U.S. bishops will start 2019 with a spiritual retreat to pray and reflect on the important matters facing the Catholic Church Veronika Winkels

Four conditions must be met for a teaching of the Catholic Church to be considered infallible. Acceptance of the death penalty meets none of them. St. John Paul II laid down theoretical markers that provide a clear basis for a Catholic teaching rejecting the death penalty in principle. Part two of a two-part essay. Dianne N. Irving
In considering the Hobby Lobby case, the "religious beliefs" of the plaintiffs just happen to match the long-documented and long-acknowledged objective scientific facts of human embryology. But it would seem that there's enough gobbledygook to go around. It doesn't emanate from just the "pro-choice" side in these debates. Marcus Roberts
Dear all, it's stunning weather today in Auckland. It certainly feels that summer is upon us and that Christmas is just around the corner! This is all very exciting, but made last night very tiresome as Thomas found it much too hot to sleep well at all. Which has made me a somewhat tired father today! So nothing too cerebral today. Judie Brown
The more that you learn about each other, how you function and what it means to anticipate the possibility of procreating another human being, the better you will understand each other, respect each other, and share in the true meaning of the body as nature intended. Michael Cook
Deregistration, heavy fines and jail terms threaten those who voice their opposition to abortion. Michael Cook
