Reflections on Pain and Things That Break Our Hearts

Surrogacy is a topic I've been contemplating a lot lately. Make no mistake: to me, it feels like one of the most serious human rights concerns of our time. You'll see it framed everywhere - movies, news, social feeds - as a kind, hopeful solution for couples who can't have children. At first glance it can seem beautiful and compassionate. But when I look more closely, especially through the lens of Catholic teaching, I worry about what surrogacy does to marriage, motherhood, children, and human dignity.

Judie Brown
While it is difficult for some to understand how it could come to pass that a newspaper identified as part of the Vatican communications department could, in fact, work to intentionally misrepresent papal statements, it is not hard to sort out once we realize that the politics of the Vatican are no different than the politics in Washington, D.C.
