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

A new study out of Finland showed that adolescents and young adults who underwent sex-rejecting procedures (puberty blockers, "cross-sex" hormones, or surgery) "had worse mental health outcomes than a control group that did not receive such bodily alterations.

Editorial
There is a quiet change happening in our world. It is not loud, and many people do not notice it right away. But it matters. More and more, abortion is happening not in clinics, but at home, through pills. It is private, fast, and often done alone. I never imagined I would feel this deeply about something so often discussed in whispers, but headlines such as this, "Abortion Pills Now Kill 2/3 of All Babies Killed in Abortions," make it harder to ignore. Many people say the procedure is a good thing. They speak about freedom, control, and privacy. I understand why that sounds appealing. But as a Catholic, I cannot see it that way. For me, this is not just a social issue - it is spiritual. It raises more profound questions about life, truth, and what we believe about who we are.

When I saw this recent prayer petition at a daily Mass: "For all who have died or suffered because of violence," I couldn't help but think of all the babies who die so violently under the legal shield of medical, clinical, and chemical abortion. Francis X. Maier
The decisive question for this and every age, Trueman argues, is Who and what is Man? 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. 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.

But they're trying everything, including 'ethical porn', to keep it going. Mathew Otieno
Over the past weekend, a delegation of African leaders met presidents Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine in Kyiv and Vladimir V. Putin of Russia in St Petersburg. Their mission was an effort to explore the possibility of a negotiated end to the ongoing war between the two countries.

A recent episode of Australian television show Q&A sparked debate about the level of Christian support for assisted dying in Australia. Author and journalist Nikki Gemmell, a panelist on the show, claimed that "80% of Australians and up to 70% of Catholics and Anglicans" support euthanasia laws. Thomas Lickona
What's the matter with today's emerging adults? This is the first of three articles in an extended review of the recently published book, Lost in Transition: The Dark Side of Emerging Adulthood, by University of Notre Dame sociologist Christian Smith and colleagues. The reviewer, Thomas Lickona, is a developmental psychologist and professor of education at the State University of New York at Cortland. Youth hold up a mirror to society; in it, we see ourselves. What is the moral condition of our young adults, and what does that tell us about contemporary culture?

Bishop Olmsted is no stranger to pastoral care for the flock that Christ has given him. A hero on many fronts, he has always embraced truth. Judie Brown
The victory with a clothing company, the affirmation of the right to defend life by wearing a T-shirt to school, and the dignity of being part of a ministry of love are all cogs in the wheel of pro-life work that keep rolling, keep moving forward toward victory and keep growing stronger because we believe in God's gift of human dignity.

After years of debate, Canada has no law on abortion. Is is possible to find an acceptable compromise to rein it in? Judie Brown
In today's selfish, me-first society, Our Lord often gets pushed aside - or out of the picture totally. Because we have the free will to push Him aside, God allows us to do this. But He is always there, waiting patiently to be invited back. And when we invite Him in, or back, amazing and miraculous things can happen. Read today's commentary to find why it is so important to invite Our Lord into our lives and into the fight against those who devalue and disrespect life.

Purpose: Research on right-to-die funding in America indicates that there has been a systematic effort from bioethics centers, foundations, and universities within the country to change the American culture to a more death-accepting society. The program has resulted in mainstreaming ideas and policies once thought controversial, but which are now commonplace in textbooks, accreditation policies, professional practice, and popular culture.
