"Transgender" isn't what you think it is. "Like a fever that signals an underlying infection, a transgender identity often points to something deeper that deserves attention and exploration." Therapist Pamela Garfield-Jaeger, LCSW, draws on years of experience to explain what really might be happening when a loved one says "I'm trans." Abortion in the Didache: forbidden by the Apostles
An oft-used argument of those desperate to justify abortion is that there is no mention of abortion in the Bible (which is not totally true). A good rebuttal to this flawed argument is that, while there is no actual use of the word "abortion" in the Bible, there is a specific ruling on abortion in the Didache, the first recorded early Church "catechism." Pope Leo: War is 'fed more easily' than the hungry "The world today could live without hunger," but "conflicts are 'fed' more easily than people are nourished," Pope Leo XIV said when he visited the United Nations World Food Program, the world's largest humanitarian organization, on June 22. Lila Mozingo is a Reminder That People With Down Syndrome Have Tremendous Value Fifteen-year-old Lila Mozingo of Chapin, S.C., is capturing widespread attention after being featured on national television, offering a powerful reminder that every child is created with dignity, purpose, and limitless potential.
SCOTUS Upholds Sex-Based Restrictions in Sports - Unanimously? Two miracles took place at the Supreme Court today in two cases involving Title IX and women's sports. The first miracle is that common sense and biology prevailed. The second miracle is that the decision was unanimous ... at least in part. Planned Parenthood Offers 'Just In Case Abortion Pills' A Planned Parenthood affiliate is offering "Just In Case Abortion Pills," We Must Protect Babies From Being Dismembered in Abortions Legislation has now been introduced in both chambers of Congress to protect babies from the brutal, second-trimester abortion procedure known as D&E - dilation and evacuation. As terrible as that sounds, the true nature of the procedure is far worse: Living babies in the womb are literally torn limb from limb and removed in pieces. Leading the Parade into Madness The rainbow has become holy. The Bible has become blasphemy. While Canada's Prime Minister celebrates at a Pride parade, a New York Catholic hospice caring for terminal cancer patients faces closure ? unless the nuns agree to use the 'correct' pronouns. There's No Mystery to America's Fertility Decline On the same day last month, two prominent opinion writers both addressed the U.S. fertility decline: Louise Perry wrote in the Wall Street Journal that "Falling birth rates are a mystery," while Jessica Grose at the New York Times stated that it is "not a mystery" why fertility rates are falling, pointing to the significant drop in teen births as the most likely culprit. Abortions Kill 1 in 3 Babies in the UK Data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) on conception rates in 2023 have shown that while there has been an increase in pregnancies, a higher increase in abortions has led to fewer babies being born overall.

Editorial
If I could sit down with a group of university students and young adults today, there is one conversation I would want us to have. It would not begin with computers or robots. It would begin with a much more important question: What kind of person do you want to become?
As you prepare for your future, you will make decisions about your studies, your career, your friendships, and perhaps one day your marriage and family. At the same time, you are entering a world where Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming part of everyday life. Technology will influence many of those decisions. But it should never define the person you become. That is why this article is not really about AI. It is about you. It is about building a life of wisdom, character, and faith in a world that is changing faster than ever before.
The eight questions that follow are an invitation to think beyond technology and to consider something far more important: how to build a life of character in an age of Artificial Intelligence. Continue reading at Fr. Jerry's Blog... Ethical Perspectives Steven Mosher Restricting the abortion pill in the U.S. will save lives both at home and abroad. Michael D. Pfeifer The Season of Creation is in the spirit of truth a time to do a heart-filled assessment of the situation of Mother Earth which is suffering many abuses and misuses by we humans. This Season is a source of strength and communion, encouraging us to truly hope and act justly with all of creation. We begin in a deep spirit of heartfelt gratitude, thanking our loving God for the beautiful gift of all creation. Samantha Stephenson The elimination of suffering will not produce joy. If we seek to be truly free, we must acknowledge our responsibilities to one another. We will flourish to the extent that we all can flourish. Seth C. Oranburg The Talmudic and rabbinic tradition diverges from the latest encyclical, and the divergence highlights a paradox in the papal logic. Leo XIV's strongest move, his categorical prohibition against the use of AI to make "lethal or otherwise irreversible decisions," demands a more principled distinction between the Switchblade and the CyberKnife. Susan Ciancio Not knowing or loving yourself is one of the fiercest battles we face as human beings. Countless people suffer from low self-esteem, from self-doubt, and even from self-loathing. But what happens when these feelings are compounded by a lack of comfort or even a disgust about your sex organs? This is what people face when they experience gender dysphoria, and it's incredibly confusing when it's a child - especially when it's your child.
Shenan J. Boquet Many people think that abortion is just a "woman's issue." But they don't understand that it affects the father as well, for he too loses a child. Further, the man often experiences the same types of emotions that a woman experiences after the loss of a child. And though very little research has been done on post-abortive men, the fact that post-abortive ministries now usually include services for men are evidence that men hurt too. Judie Brown In a pathetic attempt to cover up the fact that morning-after pills, emergency contraceptives and most birth control pills are actually early-term abortions, the abortion lobby is now attempting to redefine pregnancy. Eric Metaxas How can anyone defend Planned Parenthood after the sickening video that came to light this week? I'll tell you how. A.I.R.V.S.C. This article examines some of the important ways in which contemporary abortion counseling and procedures attempt to produce a momentary illusion of personal well-being, health, and psychic security in the woman. This procedures also attempts to create the illusion that there is no human life in the womb in order to attempt to achieve the desired therapeutic outcome in the woman. Shenan J. Boquet It is impossible to further the common good without acknowledging and defending the right to life, upon which all the other inalienable rights of individuals are founded and from which they develop. A society lacks solid foundations when, on the one hand, it asserts values such as the dignity of the person, justice and peace, but then, on the other hand, radically acts to the contrary by allowing or tolerating a variety of ways in which human life is devalued and violated, especially where it is weak or marginalized. Proclaim Sermons The disgrace of Egypt lasted for decades among the people of Israel. After they crossed the Jordan, God directed Joshua to roll away the disgrace. God heals us of such things as addiction, unhealthy religion and damage from racism, even though the effects can be long-term. Shenan J. Boquet Conservative activists and politicians are demanding answers after an early-morning raid conducted by FBI agents on the home of Mark Houck, a pro-life activist, sidewalk counselor, and father of seven children. Asia Human Rights The government of Nepal has been repeatedly throttling the civil society, media and human rights organizations in Nepal. Asia Human Rights With the collapse of the overall system of governance in Pakistan, the jail system followed suit and collapsed. Steven Mosher Will the last pro-life bastion in the U.K. fall? A high court in Northern Ireland could soon legalize abortion in cases of life-threatening fetal disability. Northern Ireland is the last remaining country in the United Kingdom that does not permit abortion on-demand. Ireland - a country which borders Northern Ireland to the south and west - legalized abortion late last year, on demand up to 12 weeks and later in cases of health and fetal disability.
