Euthanasia of the mentally ill in the Netherlands is increasing
As the West lunges toward propagating a right to be made dead, the deleterious societal impacts of being legally "MAIDed" (killed by "medical assistance in dying") are becoming increasingly clear. A recent professional analysis published in the Psychiatric Times illustrates the lethal influence on mentally ill suicidal people -- including youth -- in the Netherlands. A Pediatrician's Warning: Puberty Blockers Aren't Curing Gender Dysphoria. They're Manufacturing It.
From Dr. Julia Mason: "Those activists are mistaken. The drugs do have lasting effects, and there's little credible evidence that puberty blockers actually help patients. In fact, there is growing reason to believe they are exacerbating the very dysphoria they are supposed to resolve and placing vulnerable children on a largely self-reinforcing path toward permanent transitions, often with serious and lasting physical consequences." Death Is Not The End
If it is 'certain that we shall not be here for long,' as Blaise Pascal says, 'and uncertain whether we shall be here even one hour,' then what lies beyond death matters more than anything else. 'All the Lonely People': Loneliness Is Exacerbated by Childlessness
The problem of loneliness among older people has not disappeared. In fact, it is growing and likely to continue to increase in the U.S. and other industrialized countries in the future. For example, a 2025 AARP poll found that loneliness affected 40% of those ages 45 and over in the U.S., up five points from 35% in both 2010 and 2018. Poll Shows 76% of Americans Want Abortions Banned or Limited
Today Pew Research released the results of a new poll on public attitudes on sanctity of life issues. This poll, which surveyed over 8,500 people in late January, contains some good news for pro-lifers. America's Dating Crisis Is Dire, But Here's How We Can Reverse It
It's hardly a secret that dating is a mess today. Young adults are not happy with the state of things, and it's certainly not producing the social goods that matter most: marriage and babies. Marriage and fertility rates have dropped by more than half in the last several decades. Society cannot continue without these, and neither happens unless boy meets girl. This is why the dating crisis matters. "Dr. Death" Creates "Suicide Pods" for Couple to Kill Themselves Together
What is being marketed as innovation is, in reality, a modernized gas chamber. U.N. panel member implores Japan to address gender equality
Hiroko Akizuki, a member of the U.N. Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women, called on Japan to create dedicated parliamentary and government bodies to confront the country's entrenched gender inequality. Immigration, enforcement, and Catholics
We can only do what is possible. We cannot solve global poverty, war, and tyranny by moving the poor and oppressed to rich and peaceful countries. Parents Can't Be 'Assigned At Birth' Any More Than Sex Can
The phrase 'sex assigned at birth' was dreamed up to suggest that biological sex (male or female, determined at fertilization and encoded in chromosones) is not an objective reality but a label slapped on a baby by a doctor in a delivery room. As if maleness and femaleness were within the purview and authority of adults to decide. As if the biology was negotiable. Most people now recognize this for what it is: a denial of biological reality." 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."

Pro-life values demand that we protect all human beings from the moment of creation until death. That protection includes preborn babies, those who are sick or disabled, and the elderly. But we also have a responsibility to protect those who have been taken from their homes and sold into human sex trafficking, which treats people like commodities while it abuses and enslaves them. David C. Reardon
The Unwanted Abortion Studies are an ongoing investigation of the relationship between different pregnancy outcomes (including induced abortion, miscarriage, delivery of an unplanned pregnancy, and delivery of a wanted pregnancy) and associated psychological distress, decision satisfaction, and suicide risk.[1-5] Currently, the implemented studies have been based on national random samples of American females aged 41-45. This older age group was chosen to capture the bulk of most women's reproductive lives. Michael D. Pfeifer
According to reputable sources today, there are more abortions now than before Roe v. Wade, at least 1.1 million every year. Many assumed that, following the Dobbs decision, abortion rates would drop; instead, the opposite has occurred. Sadly, more than 60% of those deaths are caused by abortion drugs sent through the mail with little to no medical oversight. Our home, which should be the sanctuary for the caring and protection of children, is now, with the easy availability of abortion pills, the major center for abortion. John Stonestreet
It's essential for Christians to think like Christians about anything, including current world affairs. Shenan J. Boquet
The truth that life is a precious gift from God has profound implications for the question of stewardship over human life. We are not the owners of our lives and, hence, do not have absolute power over life. ... Suicide and euthanasia are never morally acceptable options.
Shenan J. Boquet
Every time the question of euthanasia and assisted suicide comes before a legislature or court, pro-euthanasia advocates assure their opponents that these practices will only be legalized in extremely limited cases. Judie Brown
Matrimony, the marriage of a man and a woman, is the most sacred union in the world. E. Christian Brugger
Some theologians claim that the Council of Trent lends support to the idea that the Catholic Church could accept divorce and remarriage. Careful scholarship reveals that this is not true. A.I.R.V.S.C.
The number of abortions consistently increased throughout the 1970s and the 1980s. That trend reversed itself during the 1990s as the number of legal abortions declined by 18.4% between 1990 and 1999. A number of reasons are likely responsible for this decline. One factor that cannot be overlooked is the impact of pro-life legislation. Asia Human Rights
The Asian Human Rights Commission (AHRC) has learned that the detainees and prisoners in Indonesia face serious problems, in particular those related to overcrowding.

Marriage is a real thing. God created it to last, by love and in mutual submission, until death. God created it to protect children and the good of the world. Christians should define and approach marriage as the Maker of marriage intended it to be, not as a speed limit that changes from one cultural moment to the next. Shenan J. Boquet
In this article, we would like to answer the question: why is adultery a grave sin? This way of approaching the issue is a doctrinal approach. We will answer the question drawing from the teachings of the Bible and the teachings of the Catholic Church, especially the Catechism and other documents of the Magisterium. The issue of adultery is founded upon the fact that God Himself is the Author of marriage. Moreover, He created marriage with certain goods and laws that cannot be changed by human will, neither by the state nor society. Proclaim Sermons
The transfiguration of Christ is an enigma for many of us. But this incident in the life of Christ contains rich meaning about the identity of Jesus, the nature of discipleship and the hope of the resurrection. Look at the transformed, glorified Christ, listen to him and learn what it means!

The Catholic Church is making rapid strides in Africa, and Protestant Christianity is doing the same, both rejecting polygyny and requiring monogamy among its members. Christopher Kaczor
After the online publication of Alberto Giubilini and Francesca Minerva's article "After-Birth Abortion: Why Should the Baby Live?" there was an immediate and almost overwhelmingly negative reaction from around the world.
