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

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.

Illegal abortion and perjury are frequent in Britain but the law does nothing. Steven Mosher
Forty years of contraception, abortion, feminism, and two-income or one-parent families have taken their toll. The 105-page Highlights of the United Nations Population Division's World Population Prospects: The 2004 Revision outline the demographic crisis overtaking the world, not just the United States and her collapsing Social Security system.

Dr. Paul McHugh is optimistic that the ascendency of transgender ideology is a passing fad. Yet the damage that transgender ideology can wreak in even just ten or fifteen years - the hormones, the surgery, the irreversible decisions, the mutilated bodies - is considerable. Proclaim Sermons
James spells out two paths from which humans must choose that determine the direction of our lives: worldly wisdom, and wisdom from God above. Christ embodies wisdom from above. James assures us that when we ask rightly for God to fill us with that kind of wisdom, the spirit of Christ, God will generously grant our request. Monica Rose
As recently as last July, my young-adult daughter announced herself "transgender". Although there were clues along the way, I was woefully unprepared to respond. What red flags should I have seen? And what advice would I now give my earlier self? Judie Brown
It's personal. It's painful. And for the millions of people affected by infertility, it can also be very isolating. For those who have never experienced the sorrow and complexity of this condition, it's impossible to truly comprehend the degree of suffering it causes. I had considered myself empathetic to those who couldn't conceive, but I didn't fully understand what they were going through until it happened to my husband and me. Judie Brown
Late last Thursday night, September 16, my husband Paul was taken by ambulance to our local hospital. After hours in the emergency room, he was admitted Friday morning at 5:30 am with overwhelming pain in his neck and across the top of his back. Richard A. Spinello
Because of our fallen and finite nature, we are all burdened with the impediment of concupiscence. But we are not victims or helpless creatures determined in our actions by the imperatives of biology. Douglas McManaman
Young people today have no heroes. That is why young males have no idea what it means to be a man, and few females have any idea what it means to be a woman. But there is no topic that seems to captivate them more than the subject of male and female differences, because insights here seem to provide them with clues about what it really means to be a man and a woman. Dianne N. Irving
The science used is often selective, cryptic and/or simply incorrect, and does not apply to or is irrelevant to the philosophical issue it is trying to ground. Some still insist that the "science" being used is correct although certainly to so "insist" does not make it so. We would all welcome those who support such "scientific" claims to prove them. When all of the human embryological, human genetic and other scientific texts as well as the most recent research and assurances by the most respected researchers state clearly and unequivocally that very different basic scientific facts are universally acknowledged which actually contradict the scientific "facts" used by many of the proponents of delayed personhood, let those proponents defend their scientific "facts" openly and publicly before an open body of their scientific peers.
