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." The Magisterium of the Popes and nuclear weapons
Our Editorial Director recalls the teachings of the Popes on nuclear weapons since the atomic bombings of Japan in August 1945. The Bible Does Not Support Abortion. Here's Proof
"The Bible never mentions abortion, the Bible says life begins at first breath, the Bible says?" Suicide Pods: The Evil Device to Help People Kill Themselves

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. The study tracked 2,083 people who had sought medical services for gender confusion between 1996-2019." Despite the glaring evidence of harm, many American "medical" institutions continue to provide harmful interventions to vulnerable persons. Catholic Bishop Condemns Abortion: "All Human Life is Sacred From Conception"
The chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' Committee on Pro-Life Activities has voiced strong support for legislation aimed at revoking the Food and Drug Administration's approval of the dangerous abortion drug mifepristone. He is reaffirming the Catholic Church's teaching that all human life is sacred from the moment of conception. Abortion is Wrong Because Unborn Babies are Human Beings
If the pre-born are not human, pro-life apologist Scott Klusendorf is fond of saying, then no defense of abortion is necessary. But if they are human, no defense of abortion is adequate. Just One Study Found Abortion Pills Injured Over 95,000 Women
EPPC looked at more than 865,000 insurance claims of actual mifepristone patients and determined that the serious adverse events rate was closer to 11%! More Headlines…

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.

We should be amazed or ashamed of ourselves when we forget or deny the truth that everything we have received including our lives comes from our heavenly Father. When we are tempted to be prideful we should answer the sobering question Saint Paul asked, "What do you have that you did not receive? If then you received it, why do you boast as if you did not receive it?" (1 Corinthians 4:7). Asia Human Rights
The incumbent government has pushed the people to one of the worst living conditions they have faced in recent collective and individual memory. Millions of Indians are repeatedly queuing up before banks and currency dispensing machines, struggling to withdraw legitimately earned money. Steven Mosher
Rates of breast cancer are skyrocketing in countries which have legalized abortion. But this suggestion -- that abortion causes breast cancer -- causes radical feminists, who are otherwise greatly concerned about breast cancer -- to go into spasms of denial. This is why it is vitally important to the pro-life cause that the ABC link be investigated rationally, documented carefully, and presented convincingly. British statistician Patrick Carroll, who is Director of Research at Britain's Pension and Population Research Institute, has done just that in his new study, "Assessing the Damage," which was just published on October 25th of this year.

The concept of 'wrongful birth' has suffered another defeat, this time in Australia. A New South Wales couple has lost a case in which they sued an IVF specialist for failing to indicate their child's chance of a disability. Xavier Symons
The cliche "bundles of joy" has two meanings in the assisted reproduction industry: babies and cash. Keen businessmen are scrambling to take advantage of this burgeoning area of the health sector. Judie Brown
What does an upcoming vote in Massachusetts have to do with society's increasing disregard for God and His laws? Today's commentary addresses this timely subject and cautions us to reflect upon how the actions we take in November will impact our society and our lives. Proclaim Sermons
If you were asked to tell the story of Christmas, you'd probably mention a long journey from Nazareth to Bethlehem, shepherds and sheep, a sky full of singing angels, the wise men from the east, the inn with a "No Vacancy" sign and of course, a very pregnant Mary and a concerned Joseph. But today's gospel reading doesn't mention any of these events. What's going on?

Perhaps it is time for Catholics and others of good faith to stand back for a moment, take a deep breath, and just consider for a moment the question as to whether or not the horrific "confusion" over whether or not the earliest human embryos regardless if they are sexually or asexually reproduced are human persons is really so relevant to these abortion, cloning, and stem cell debates after all. Is the hotly debated distinction between a human being and a human person simply just another one of the many false distinctions that have permeated these bioethics debates on abortion, cloning and stem cell research like the false distinction between therapeutic and reproductive cloning?

Several U.S. bishops have recently voiced their opposition and ersatz reasoning why no one should be denied the Eucharist according to Code of Canon Law n. 915. Those in the pews are perplexed. Which bishop is correct? Why would some bishops teach that the laws are binding and other bishops teach that they are not? John Stonestreet
You're a Christian. You sense God has more for you. You want to go deeper. You want to make a difference.
