It teaches something deeper: our bodies have dignity because they are animated by a spiritual soul & our sexual identity is part of this unity."

The Pope acknowledged that quite a few elderly people share the painful feeling of being forgotten, especially as they experience loneliness or sometimes being reduced to a bed number or illness. How Can Anyone Defend Transgender Sports After This?!

Instead, she put her son up for adoption, ?a decision,? Bomberger said, ?that has caused beautiful generational reverberations.? Most Women 'Blindsided' by Abortion Drug Side Effects: Study
These days, it's hard to go a few weeks without bumping into another horrifying story about a man drugging his pregnant girlfriend, wife, or daughter with the abortion drug. But as disturbing as those headlines have been, coercion doesn't always take the form of an angry man. Sometimes, it's a misleading abortion doctor or the impatient Planned Parenthood worker who refuses to tell the truth about mifepristone or a woman's options. 1,126,760 Babies Killed in Abortions in 2025 as Mail-Order Abortions Skyrocket

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."

By re-energizing a state's pro-life base and attracting enough swing voters to tip the scales, the movement can make real, even if "imperfect," progress toward ending elective abortion in America. Emily Hancock
AI can shift how we communicate with one another, what work looks like for many roles, how relationships unfold, and how we order our lives. Much of our reaction to these projects reflects the understanding that this technology has the power to reshape the way humanity marches into the future, and not always in a way that serves the greater good. Bill Muehlenberg
Pope Leo XIV's first encyclical confronts the promises and perils of artificial intelligence, urging humanity to defend human dignity in an increasingly dehumanised age. Gregory E. Ganssle
Both Jesus and Nietzsche announce in the same sort of bold terms their own visions of life and death; prosperity and adversity. They set before us two paths to consider: one leading toward the flourishing life and one leading toward death. One toward liberation and one into oppression. Which path will we choose? Shenan J. Boquet
Euthanasia is a false solution to the drama of suffering, a solution that is not worthy of man. The real answer cannot be, in fact, to give death, as 'gentle' as this may be, but to testify to the love that helps us to face pain and agony in a humane way.

Do you know what is happening at the moment in the Sudan? Do you know that the region of Darfur is currently undergoing what seems to be ethnic cleansing? Michael Kirke
A mother's death becomes instant propaganda for dismantling protection of unborn children. Karen Swallow Prior
The small surprises and sacrifices of Christmas - the time, resources, and care our loved ones expend in order to place under glowing trees those bright bundles upon which our own names are written - recall the marvel of Christ's entry into the world in order to sacrifice himself for those he calls by name. This is the unexpected gift that we ought to be surprised by, over and over, every Christmas - indeed, every morning.

Euthanasia is legal in Belgium under certain conditions, but not for minors, boys and girls under 18. Now the upper house of the Belgian parliament is studying whether to extend the privilege of euthanasia to them as well. Steven Mosher
The age at which adolescents become sexually active is a matter of debate. Those who would expose our children to pornographic sex education claim that by the mid-teens most teens are sexually active. But they are wrong.

A team of human rights defenders from various local organisations closely monitored the detention of the student at the Jayapura sub-district police to ensure that the police officers would not torture the detainees during interrogation. William E. May
The "conventional wisdom" prevalent in the United States, European Nations, and the United Nations is that the best way to prevent HIV/AIDS in Africa (or anywhere, for that matter) is to practice "safe sex," that is, to make use of condoms and other prophylactic devises. The Catholic Church is regularly criticized for its failure to urge the use of condoms and "safe sex" in Africa and is blamed for the AIDS "epidemic" in sub-Sahara Africa Judie Brown
The United States is known around the world for its democracy and its influence, and perhaps it's known for its infamy as well. Recent events have reminded us that once a tree is inflicted with root rot, it usually dies from the conditions that follow. Thus far, our nation has been spared this dreadful outcome, but one wonders just how long this will continue. Douglas McManaman
While doing graduate work in Theology at the University of Montreal during the late 80s, I recall being suddenly struck by the ironies with which modern thought is replete. I discovered quickly enough that contemporary philosophy that was then used to undermine much of traditional Catholic theology could just as easily be employed to elucidate and defend it. Contradiction soon became a kind of beacon, allowing me to distinguish the true liberal from the false, neo-Hegelian liberalism that characterizes much of what passes for liberal thought today. Proclaim Sermons
As Paul deals with questions from the Thessalonian church, he speaks to us as well. Issues of life and death, faith, heaven and eternal life are all part of this treasured epistle.
