Pope on AI: Decisions affecting human life must never be delegated
Addressing participants in a meeting dedicated to AI, Pope Leo stresses the importance of keeping the human person at the heart of this technology to avoid the danger of threatening the common good and reducing people to data points. Ukraine: WFP provides hot meals to Oleshky evacuees as UN pushes to restore power before winter
The UN World Food Programme (WFP) is providing emergency food assistance to more than 400 people who were able to leave the Russian-occupied city of Oleshky, in Ukraine's Kherson region, during a brief local ceasefire. Who Are the Groups Fighting to Mutilate Children and Keep Boys in Girls Sports?
Most adult Americans oppose mutilating and sterilizing children who struggle with sexual identity confusion, and they also know it's wrong to allow boys and men to invade girls and women's sports, showers, locker rooms and restrooms. But a well-funded, extremist coalition of groups - including LGBT activists, pro-abortionists, teachers unions, leftist legal groups and environmentalists - support harming children and denying girls equal opportunities. 'Trans Kids' Madness Is Built On A Foundation Of Constant And Increasingly Aggressive Lies
They're building transgender speakeasies. As red states ban sex-rejecting procedures for minors, and the Department of Justice shuts down pediatric transgender facilities at hospitals, the business is going underground. Two reports published this week reveal the degree to which the industry that performs sex-rejecting procedures on children relies on subterfuge and sneaking." Air raid alerts and attacks on schools: the devastating face of education in Ukraine
Ukraine has sustained almost 2,000 attacks on education since the full-scale Russian invasion in 2022, with some 270 this year alone, the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) said on Tuesday, a day after a strike at a school being used to distribute aid. Gender equality pays off for business - so why are companies pulling back?
Gender equality and diversity are good for business - but while increasing numbers of women are reaching top spots in the corporate world, more initiatives are needed to keep momentum going. Women Should Not Tolerate Porn
Young women today have unrealistically high standards. When I speak to conservative young men about dating, this is something I often hear. ...What that doesn't mean, though, is that young women shouldn't have any standards. Some are very important, particularly when it comes to a man's character. One standard that is valid is not wanting your partner to watch pornography. Planned Parenthood's Legacy of Eugenics: From Racial Cleansing to Modern-Day Abortion Mills
This weekend marks 110 years since Margaret Sanger opened her first birth control facility in Brooklyn on October 16, 1916. That facility marked the beginning of her movement, but beneath the glossy facade lies a century-long history of eugenics, racism, and systemic killing. Planned Parenthood's modern image coexists with a documented history involving eugenics and well-established efforts to drive genocidal levels of abortion among vulnerable, low-income populations. Yes, LGBT identity really is in free fall among American teens
What goes up so quickly will eventually come down just as fast. This is precisely what has happened with gay and trans identity among American teens after our national LGBT social acid trip. Gallup has carefully tracked how dramatically LGBT identity shot up for all ages in the U.S. over the last decade or more. It really rocketed in 2020. In 2012, only 3.5% of Americans identified with any of the experimental sex and gender alphabet soup letters. By 2020, 5.6% did. By 2024, it reached an eye-popping 9.3% of Americans." No, Two Men Failing To Make A Baby Together Is Not 'Infertility'
Sodomy is not infertility. But money and ideology encourage pretending otherwise. For example, a recent piece in the New England Journal of Medicine complained that the World Health Organization's guidelines on infertility aren't inclusive enough because they 'pertain only to heterosexual couples' rather than also encompassing 'LGBTQ+ people, as well as single people.'

Sometimes, in the busyness of our daily lives, we forget the beautiful moment when we first said, "Yes" to God. For those of us who have spent many years following Christ, that little word has taken us on a journey we could never have imagined. During a recent four-day retreat, the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate in Japan and Korea were invited to rediscover that first "Yes," to reflect on God's faithfulness through the years, and to renew our commitment to His mission. I invite you to join us on this spiritual journey through eight reflections that remind us of something deeply personal: God took our "Yes" very seriously, and He continues to do so today. This message reaches far beyond our Oblate family. Every Christian is invited to listen to God's call and respond with trust.

Hatred of Jews in the West has not stemmed from any peculiar moral trait of all Jews or all gentiles, but from the complicated vicissitudes of man's history and his mysterious relationship with evil. Michael Cook
The first reported case of euthanasia under the Netherlands' expanded rules for children under 12 has reignited ethical concerns about disability, suffering and the protection of vulnerable lives. Stefan McDaniel
At this critical time, we have lost our knowledge of what it means to be human. Only if we can regain this knowledge can we hope to find our place in the world and mature into confident and fulfilled human beings. Antonio Lemos
To what extent can migration be legitimately regulated and enforced, and under what circumstances may migrants already residing within a country be returned to their place of origin? James Macpherson
Without a moral authority above ourselves, we risk turning our political convictions into absolute truths -- and our opponents into obstacles to be destroyed.

A traditional interpretation of Jesus' story about a slave master who gave three of his slaves money shows that we don't always get it quite right. To understand the Bible more clearly, we must know more about when it was written, to whom and under what circumstances. Often knowing those things changes our understanding of what scripture is really trying to tell us.

If we don't head off the contraception stampede, civil life will become increasingly chaotic. There is more sinister malice in massive contraception than at first meets the eye. The ban on contraception is the solid and indispensable pillar on which family life balances itself. Proclaim Sermons
According to Israel's tradition, Jesus, from the tribe of Judah, couldn't have been a priest. But our text is about his preparation to be a high priest "according to the order of Melchizedek," as the preceding verses make clear. Through the trials and challenges of his ministry, he was able to make the perfect and final sacrifice, giving up his own life and rising again to reconcile sinners to God. Anthony Zimmerman
Cardinal James Francis Stafford has stated that the current Church crisis is a crisis of parish life, and that, in his judgment this "should lead us to a further exploration of a restoration of the "Ordo Poenitentium" -- the Order of Penitents -- that was present in the patristic Church." Official Documents
This Exhortation is especially timely in this Jubilee Year of Mercy. First, because it represents an invitation to Christian families to value the gifts of marriage and the family, and to persevere in a love strengthened by the virtues of generosity, commitment, fidelity and patience. Second, because it seeks to encourage everyone to be a sign of mercy and closeness wherever family life remains imperfect or lacks peace and joy. Kurt Mahlburg
Every law reflects morality of some kind, and the public square is always being occupied by a set of beliefs. So why wouldn't Christians advocate for laws that reflect Christian beliefs and morality? Oregon Asssited Suicide Abuses
The Oregon Tall Tale The creepy underside of legal assisted suicide. Wesley J. Smith
A paper presented at last week's American Psychiatric Association meeting demonstrates once again that the legalization of physician-assisted suicide in Oregon was one of the great public policy con jobs of all time. Earnest euthanasia advocates -- generally abetted by a compliant media -- spun the myth that assisted suicide would invariably be a rational "choice," strictly regulated by the state, a last resort of dying patients when nothing else could be done to alleviate their suffering. But the more we learn about how doctor-facilitated death is actually being practiced in Oregon, the clearer it becomes that these assurances were false. Ann Farmer
The burden of 'choice' falls on women. Shenan J. Boquet
Conservative activists and politicians are demanding answers after an early-morning raid conducted by FBI agents on the home of Mark Houck, a pro-life activist, sidewalk counselor, and father of seven children. Joseph M. Vukov
Death Revisionism - including the kind Drs. Jauhar, Patel, and Smith propose - is not an ethically viable option. Of that, I think, we can be relatively confident. Of the options that remain, however, there is not one that asserts itself as the obvious alternative.
