Why the Catholic Church Opposes 'In Vitro Fertilization'

Since the birth of the first "test-tube baby" in 1978, in vitro fertilization (IVF) has provided hope and a path to parenthood for many couples who cannot conceive naturally. The Catholic Church, however, has consistently rejected IVF - not out of hostility to suffering couples, but because of deeper beliefs about marriage, human life, and the dignity of the human person. The Church opposes IVF largely because the process usually creates multiple embryos in a laboratory. Some are implanted, but others are frozen, discarded, or destroyed. Since the Church views each embryo as a human life, this loss of embryos is considered morally unacceptable. The inherent dignity of a human person deserves full moral and legal respect and protection. The Church teaches that embryos must never be treated merely as a means to an end. Continue reading at Fr.

New! Thoughts on Romantic Love, Sexuality and Matrimony

Douglas McManaman
In romantic love, the one who has fallen in love sees the beloved as God sees the beloved. But this can only happen if God gives the one who is in love (the lover) a sharing in the way He sees the beloved. And so, this is a grace; it is an illumination. And that is why in the experience of falling in love, the one in love is very much preoccupied with the beloved, thinks of the beloved a great deal more than he or she otherwise would.

Teen Sexting: A Problem, And A Symptom Of A Bigger Problem

Frank J. Moncher
This is really the big problem: the lack of true intimacy and emotional connections which bring true joy to life. Sexting is merely a recent and more provocative example of that which has challenged mankind in the past, and will continue to challenge generations which follow: What are you willing to do to be able to look into the eyes of another, with no distractions and simply be with a beloved?

Should Catholic Hospitals Use the Morning-After Pill for Rape Victims?

Brian Clowes
Even with all of the different contraceptives and abortifacients on the market today, women forget to use their birth control, think their birth control method might have failed, or were coerced into sex. Many of these women resort to "emergency contraception," a term that covers several drugs or devices that are used after intercourse (instead of before) to avoid pregnancy. EC can take several forms. The most common are the morning-after pill (MAP); doubling up on birth control pills; and insertion of the Copper-T, or ParaGard intrauterine device. The abortion drug mifepristone (RU-486) can also be used as emergency contraception.

The Extremism of Defending Human Rights

Judie Brown
Is it extreme to defend the life of someone who cannot speak for himself? Is it extreme to want human rights for all people - whether born or not yet born?
