Canada Has Euthanized Over 100,000 People
In April 2026, Canada surpassed 100,000 reported euthanasia deaths since legalization in June 2016. Canada doesn't need to further expand euthanasia to people who are mentally ill but rather Canada needs to completely review its euthanasia killing program. UN Report: Unseen Child War Victims Soar
The most advanced age in human history is tolerating a kind of global war on children that no normal person, left or right, would defend if they saw the numbers laid bare. Ebola epidemic spreading rapidly and outpacing containment efforts
There are more than 900 suspected cases of the Bundibugyo strain of Ebola in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and 220 suspected deaths, the head of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Ghebreyesus, said on Monday. I had every 'gender-affirming' surgery. Here's why I'm now speaking the truth
Theodore Dalrymple, senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, has said one of the ways in which neo-Marxist social justice totalitarians exert control is by humiliating people into admitting or professing that something is true which they know is not true. Forcing them to say things they know are false is the ultimate exertion of power and control. Pope Leo's over 400 appeals for peace during first year of pontificate
In the first year of his pontificate, Pope Leo XIV has appealed hundreds of times for a reconciliation that is "unarmed and disarming," and urged the "lords of war" to listen to "a melody greater than ourselves." Reflections on St. Pope John Paul II's "Letter to the Elderly"
The great pontiff's words remind us that life is short and that we must live it with one goal in mind-to get to heaven. SSPX is choosing the path of schism
The Catholic Church has a simple principle that ecclesial revolutionaries keep finding impressively difficult to understand: obedience to legitimate authority belongs to communion and covenant hierarchy rather than institutional convenience. Cardinal Eijk: Same-Sex Synod Report Must Be Forcefully Refuted
Cardinal Willem Eijk: "By elevating such testimonies without doctrinal commentary, the report effectively normalizes homosexual relationships within a Church context. This represents a clear attempt to weaken the proclamation of Catholic moral teaching. The deeper problem lies in the report's entire methodological framework." Unborn Babies Can't be a Clump of Cells When They Have a Heartbeat
Whenever I talk about embryonic hearts there's usually a few people who push back, both actually pro-life and pro-choice people, who push back because, they argue, hearts don't determine personhood. Yeah, I agree with you. I don't talk about embryonic hearts because I think having a heart makes you a morally valuable person. I talk about embryonic hearts because they matter to a lot of people, whether they make you a morally valuable person or not. France Once Again Rejects Bill to Legalize Assisted Suicide
The French Senate on Tuesday rejected a bill to legalize assisted suicide for the second time, voting down Article 2 of the legislation -- which established a right to the procedure -- by 151 votes to 118. More Headlines…

Editorial
Worthy? Who decides? When hospitals, media, and policy accept ending or withholding life for the vulnerable, I see how we begin to treat some people as less than fully human - problems to manage rather than neighbors to love. In this article I ask who judges a life's value and move from institutions to the everyday moments where dignity is made or denied: a hurried bedside conversation, a refused invitation, a steady presence. Drawing on my Catholic faith, Scripture, and stories of the elderly, disabled, and marginalized, I examine how assumptions about usefulness erode worth and offer practical compassion - listening, shared meals, sacramental care - that restores dignity and says, "You matter."

Over the last few years, the United States has seen a significant increase in the number of states allowing physician-assisted suicide. Similar to euthanasia, where a doctor intentionally causes a patient?s death, physician-assisted suicide involves the prescription of lethal drugs that patients can then take themselves. Nathaniel Peters
While conversion may involve a love of beauty, a hunger for doctrinal security, the frisson of transgression, or a desire for the forgiveness of sins, it is ultimately a deep mystery of grace and therefore transcends our understanding. Paul Marshall
We tend to confuse the substantive protection of rights with the position that courts should always have the final word on what those rights are. But without slighting courts, we should also recognize the roles of the other two branches of government in defining rights. Judie Brown
The simple fact that every human being has a similar beginning as a single cell fertilized egg seems to be more than some people can comprehend. This came into stark focus when we read Professor Risa Cromer's article entitled "Embryo Personhood's IVF Problem: What the Data Reveals." Mike Johns
We need philosophical arguments to counter the empty voluntarism of our time, and this is a challenge the Church should meet head-on.

November 16 will be vivid in the hearts and minds of Peruvian pro-lifers for a long time. Rarely has there been so much to celebrate in a single day - three victories in the Peruvian Congress: a pro-life bill moving forward, a pro-abortion bill blocked, and a powerful event featuring the institution of the family as a reality in the social and cultural life of Peruvians. Steven Mosher
The anti-natalists argue that population control (aka "family planning" programs) lowers infant mortality. Some of their arguments are very crude. It is true that, as the birth rate falls, fewer children are at risk of dying in their first few days, weeks, or months of life. But that is simply because there are fewer children altogether.

The forthcoming general election may succeed in killing the pro-death Bills that would remove the last vestiges of legal disapproval from abortion, but the cat protection Bill will go ahead. While society plays cat's cradle, the child's cradle is eerily empty. Elizabeth Regnerus
Enabling "the good death" begins with reviving attentiveness. We must first attend to the dying in our own communities. Care for the dying, in turn, enlivens reflectiveness on our own death. To advocate increased attendance in the death chamber is not meant to scare, nor to set up a macabre museum. It is instead a reminder that all men are mortal and that one's eternal destiny is of the utmost urgency. It is instead a way to reintroduce and refine the art of dying well. Judie Brown
We must watch where we focus our energies. We must always be the voice of the preborn. And we can never allow compromise. Shenan J. Boquet
There is no greater civil right than the right to life. Yet, tens of millions of preborn children do not enjoy this most basic and fundamental of human rights. Abortion is a modern-day genocide, condemning an entire category of human beings, the preborn, to death. This is an extraordinarily grotesque violation of everything that is good and sacred. Shannon Roberts
Will the world's population really reach 11.2 billion in 2100? This week The Guardian provides a good summary of alternate world population projections which challenge this United Nations figure, and casts doubt on whether the world's population will really continue to grow until the end of this century Ryan T. Anderson
While it is a self-evident truth that all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, including the right to life, what is self-evident in the technical philosophical sense is not always readily assented to, or immediately obvious. In many ways this is the story of debates throughout American history, and it is true today in the debate over unborn human life. Karl D. Stephan
Logic can be considered as a sort of language of philosophical thought. It turns out that over the past century or two, there has been a revolution in the type of logic that has been taught and accepted by most philosophers, and as a result this revolution has insinuated itself in most Western cultures. Dianne N. Irving
Paradoxically, there is a continuing epidemic in efforts by researchers et al to render some human beings as "non-persons", while at the same time a current epidemic by transhumanists et al to render some non-human beings and machines as "persons". Either way, such linguistic deconstructions have deadly consequences for living innocent human beings (including adults) and their progeny.
