Pope on AI: Decisions affecting human life must never be delegated Addressing participants in a meeting dedicated to AI, Pope Leo stresses the importance of keeping the human person at the heart of this technology to avoid the danger of threatening the common good and reducing people to data points. Ukraine: WFP provides hot meals to Oleshky evacuees as UN pushes to restore power before winter The UN World Food Programme (WFP) is providing emergency food assistance to more than 400 people who were able to leave the Russian-occupied city of Oleshky, in Ukraine's Kherson region, during a brief local ceasefire. Who Are the Groups Fighting to Mutilate Children and Keep Boys in Girls Sports? Most adult Americans oppose mutilating and sterilizing children who struggle with sexual identity confusion, and they also know it's wrong to allow boys and men to invade girls and women's sports, showers, locker rooms and restrooms. But a well-funded, extremist coalition of groups - including LGBT activists, pro-abortionists, teachers unions, leftist legal groups and environmentalists - support harming children and denying girls equal opportunities. 'Trans Kids' Madness Is Built On A Foundation Of Constant And Increasingly Aggressive Lies They're building transgender speakeasies. As red states ban sex-rejecting procedures for minors, and the Department of Justice shuts down pediatric transgender facilities at hospitals, the business is going underground. Two reports published this week reveal the degree to which the industry that performs sex-rejecting procedures on children relies on subterfuge and sneaking." Air raid alerts and attacks on schools: the devastating face of education in Ukraine Ukraine has sustained almost 2,000 attacks on education since the full-scale Russian invasion in 2022, with some 270 this year alone, the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) said on Tuesday, a day after a strike at a school being used to distribute aid. Gender equality pays off for business - so why are companies pulling back? Gender equality and diversity are good for business - but while increasing numbers of women are reaching top spots in the corporate world, more initiatives are needed to keep momentum going. Women Should Not Tolerate Porn Young women today have unrealistically high standards. When I speak to conservative young men about dating, this is something I often hear. ...What that doesn't mean, though, is that young women shouldn't have any standards. Some are very important, particularly when it comes to a man's character. One standard that is valid is not wanting your partner to watch pornography. Planned Parenthood's Legacy of Eugenics: From Racial Cleansing to Modern-Day Abortion Mills This weekend marks 110 years since Margaret Sanger opened her first birth control facility in Brooklyn on October 16, 1916. That facility marked the beginning of her movement, but beneath the glossy facade lies a century-long history of eugenics, racism, and systemic killing. Planned Parenthood's modern image coexists with a documented history involving eugenics and well-established efforts to drive genocidal levels of abortion among vulnerable, low-income populations. Yes, LGBT identity really is in free fall among American teens What goes up so quickly will eventually come down just as fast. This is precisely what has happened with gay and trans identity among American teens after our national LGBT social acid trip. Gallup has carefully tracked how dramatically LGBT identity shot up for all ages in the U.S. over the last decade or more. It really rocketed in 2020. In 2012, only 3.5% of Americans identified with any of the experimental sex and gender alphabet soup letters. By 2020, 5.6% did. By 2024, it reached an eye-popping 9.3% of Americans." No, Two Men Failing To Make A Baby Together Is Not 'Infertility' Sodomy is not infertility. But money and ideology encourage pretending otherwise. For example, a recent piece in the New England Journal of Medicine complained that the World Health Organization's guidelines on infertility aren't inclusive enough because they 'pertain only to heterosexual couples' rather than also encompassing 'LGBTQ+ people, as well as single people.'

Editorial
Sometimes, in the busyness of our daily lives, we forget the beautiful moment when we first said, "Yes" to God. For those of us who have spent many years following Christ, that little word has taken us on a journey we could never have imagined. During a recent four-day retreat, the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate in Japan and Korea were invited to rediscover that first "Yes," to reflect on God's faithfulness through the years, and to renew our commitment to His mission. I invite you to join us on this spiritual journey through eight reflections that remind us of something deeply personal: God took our "Yes" very seriously, and He continues to do so today. This message reaches far beyond our Oblate family. Every Christian is invited to listen to God's call and respond with trust.
Continue reading at Fr. Jerry's Blog... Ethical Perspectives Stefan McDaniel At this critical time, we have lost our knowledge of what it means to be human. Only if we can regain this knowledge can we hope to find our place in the world and mature into confident and fulfilled human beings. Antonio Lemos To what extent can migration be legitimately regulated and enforced, and under what circumstances may migrants already residing within a country be returned to their place of origin? James Macpherson Without a moral authority above ourselves, we risk turning our political convictions into absolute truths -- and our opponents into obstacles to be destroyed. Dan Hart A grandmother's disputed death has put Canada's euthanasia regime under fresh scrutiny, as the Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) program passes 100,000 deaths with a further expansion slated for 2027. Thomas D. Howes The effort by all the major AI frontier companies to get government assistance in regulating the technology strikes a familiar note. There have always been incentives for top companies in an industry to call for regulations that give them a competitive advantage over upstart companies. Regulatory capture, as it is called, is a real concern. But is that what is going on here?
Elizabeth Wickham A major transformation of traditional medical ethics is taking place. What was once unthinkable has become acceptable, and no one really knows why. In the last half of the 20th century a multi-million dollar social engineering and marketing project financed by foundations and directed by bioethics think tanks has normalized the withdrawal of ordinary care. Judie Brown Debates often cause us to think more seriously about what is at stake, especially when it involves the fate of the nation where we live. So when we watched the presidential debate last week, it occurred to some of us at least that we watched two angry old men verbally sparring without any clearly defined positions emerging. Of course, I am talking about abortion.
Eric Metaxas Do you feel lonely? Join the crowd. Loneliness has reached pandemic levels - but there is hope. Douglas McManaman Synopsis: The media, it seems, can wonder about nothing other than whether or not the incoming Pope will change Church teaching on issues of sexual morality, as if Catholic teaching originates in the minds of the Popes. 'All that these journalists obsess about' eventually became 'all the Church ever talks about'. Rod Lampard Expressing concerns about government overreach, the EU communique declared Hungary's amendments a denial of "freedom of expression, the right to peaceful assembly, and the right to privacy." In effect, because Hungary's pro-family amendments were not pro-PRIDE, they're accusing the country of breaching the EU treaty on "human dignity, freedom, equality, and respect for human rights." Christopher O. Tollefsen It is an interesting, difficult, and manifestly important question: "When does a new human being begin to exist?" Many crucial moral, political, and legal matters turn upon the answer. But this question is distinct from a further one: "How should we go about answering this important, difficult, and interesting question?" Judie Brown The blurring of right and wrong thickens as the evil underlying such policies becomes deeply ingrained among lawmakers and in people in positions of power throughout our nation at the local, state, and national levels. We now stand on the edge of a cliff, a tipping point where immorality is gnawing at the core of man's innate sense of justice and at our ability to embrace and affirm human beings as individual gifts from God. We fight against this evil, consistent in our awareness that right and wrong can never be blurred or erased. Dianne N. Irving This video is truly one of the funniest, yet timely and profound, "discussions" on "bioethics" and medical doctors I've seen in a long time. It is amusing, short and sweet, easy to understand, and yet beautifully articulate. What follows also in this article are simply a few of my own observations about how we ever got into such messes these days to begin with.
Judie Brown As thousands march today to commemorate the day the Supreme Court legalized the murder of preborn babies, we must take a look at the road that led here. We must look at how we could have become a nation that so callously disregards the most innocent among us. Judie Brown's insights may surprise you. Debi Vinnedge When Dolly the sheep was created as the first successfully cloned animal in 1997, a door was opened into an area of technology that should have been locked tighter than Pandora's box. Instead, scientists began salivating at their newly found power to control and create life at will.
