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 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.

Imagine not being able to go to church without fear. Imagine having to hide your faith from your friends, your neighbors, or even your government. For millions of Catholics around the world, this is not just a possibility - it is their everyday life. Religious persecution is often talked about in general terms, but for many Catholics, it is deeply personal. In many countries, they face discrimination, violence, imprisonment, and even death simply because of their faith. While the modern world often presents itself as tolerant and progressive, the truth is that Catholic Christians remain one of the most persecuted religious groups today. Continue reading at Fr. Jerry's Blog... Ethical Perspectives 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. Melissa Moschella Is it a violation of parental rights for public schools to facilitate a child's gender transition at school without parents' knowledge or consent, and regardless of parents' stated wishes? 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. Julie Grimstad Profound respect for the sanctity (i.e., inviolability) of human life has traditionally been the core ethical principle of medicine, but that is no longer the case. Due to policies driven by a godless worldview, vulnerable patients are increasingly in danger of deadly harm.
Doug Mainwaring None of us can truly gauge the impact of our lives on others. This family had no idea how much good they were doing for me and my broken family just by the way they were living their lives. Somehow, their Catholic faith, their joy, their love, and their faithfulness overflowed and cascaded into my life via my son. Judie Brown On the cross at Calvary, there were two men crucified next to Our Blessed Lord. To His right was St. Dismas, a good thief, who repented of his sins and begged forgiveness. To His left was Gestas, a rebel who mocked Our Lord, challenging Him to reject His cross and save the three of them from their physical sufferings and death. The example of these two men calls to mind the divisions Jesus spoke of when He said that He would separate the wheat from the chaff and the lambs from the goats. On one side is salvation; on the other is death and everlasting fire. Today, this division is becoming abundantly clear.
Steven Mosher Where is the Vatican in the persecution of the faithful Cardinal Zen? Intent upon once again renewing the still-secret Sino-Vatican Agreement. Carolyn Moynihan What kind of victory is it for women to appear on the world stage punching each other? John Stonestreet On the second Sunday in June, hundreds of thousands of people filled the streets of Hong Kong to protest a proposed law that would allow people to be extradited from the former British colony to mainland China. Ryan T. Anderson Recently, the editor of Public Discourse sat down with Robert P. George to discuss the state of the marriage debate. While supporters of same-sex "marriage" claim that history is on their side, it turns out that supporters of traditional marriage have more reasons for hope than they may realize. 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. E. Christian Brugger Studies denying pain awareness invariably focus on a single point: fetuses cannot give self-report in the form of language; therefore we cannot know for sure whether the multiple reactions they exhibit towards noxious stimuli are correlated to a conscious awareness of pain, or are more akin to reflex reactions occurring beneath the level of consciousness. This is true enough. Fetuses cannot tell us through the use of language whether they are in pain. But this is by no means the end of the conversation. Do unborn children feel pain when they are being aborted? The question has taken center stage in the last decade in the U.S. abortion debate.
John Stonestreet Washington State has legalized the commercial trade in babies. Think I'm kidding? 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.
