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 recent report highlights a deeply troubling innovation: a "suicide pod" designed to allow a person to end his or her life at the push of a button. Premature Twins Born at 27 Weeks During a Medical Emergency are Doing Great Now
Twins who were born very prematurely after their mother's water broke at just 20 weeks gestation are now thriving one year later. Birth Rate Drops as Number of Babies Killed in Abortions Hit Record Highs
The number of babies born in the United States declined in 2025 while the number of babies killed in abortions has hit record highs. Study: Adolescents Who Received Gender Reassignment Have Worse Mental Health
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…

Editorial
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.

Early preterm infants, those born before 32.0 weeks gestation, comprise only 15% of the premature population, but experience 80% of the neonatal deaths. Early preterm infants also constitute a majority of those with serious disabilities, including mental retardation, epilepsy, blindness, deafness, lung infections, and cerebral palsy.

Why should there be a focused concentration upon building strong marriages in all parishes today? Because half of marriages among Catholics today end up in a divorce. Catholics today reflect the mores of the surrounding secular culture more than the teachings of their Church. We live in a fault free divorce culture, where either of the spouses can initiate a divorce and carry it to completion despite the objections of the other spouse. Michael Cook
Scientists in the UK could begin genetically engineering human embryos as early as March, if the fertility regulator approves plans by researchers at the new Francis Crick Institute in London. Tom Bartolomeo
Most do not see death the same way. Many live lives in fear of one thing or another which explains why so few face this evil world with courage and hope either afraid of reprisal or afraid of offending anyone - the 'mind my own business' Catholic who 'goes along to get along' who is not Apostolic to his relatives, neighbors and associates the way the Apostles were. They can always 'go fishing', I suppose. David van Gend
Hostility to freedom of speech and religious conscience is a sign of the times. Carolyn Moynihan
How ironic, that the recommended method for women who can't be relied on to remember to take a pill every day should be one that may actually impair their memory. Daniel Frost
If a post-Roe future is defined by even deeper divisions and bare-knuckle election politics, and not by a cultural shift in our thinking about how to not only protect innocent life but to support the parents who give and nurture that life, then we will have failed - again. Stephen McAlpine
Canada's rapidly expanding Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) program is raising ethical alarms as, in some cases, assisted deaths occur within 24 hours of a request. The program's fast-tracked, clinical approach in Ontario has prompted scrutiny, particularly regarding weakened safeguards for vulnerable patients and the acceleration of state-sanctioned suicide.

Even though over the past decade 26 states have passed Woman's Right to Know legislation, which attempts to shed a little light on the very real risks of even early-term abortion, most of the informed consent literature continues to maintain that these procedures - especially those early in the pregnancy - are little more dangerous than having a tooth filled. The possibility of infection in one's gum is of far less future concern to the patient, however, than an infection in one's reproductive system.

Once a child is created, he is a human being who should have all the rights of those who have lived to be born. But this is not the case. The taking of an innocent life has always been, and will always be, an evil act. Yet too many people either don't care or are too busy to worry about something that may or may not directly affect them. They fail to understand how abortion affects everyone. This lack of understanding can be traced back, in part, to lack of good leadership within the Church.
