Called to Be Counter-Cultural
The greatest danger the Church faces is not just hostility from outside, but compromise from within. The Church loses its saltiness not when it is persecuted, but when it becomes indistinguishable from everything around it. Our witness is only credible when our communities actually live what we proclaim: when Christians are known by their love, their honesty, their care for the poor, and their joy.

UCLA Caught Buying Aborted Baby Parts, Altering Paperwork to Hide It

"Give Them Something to Eat": The Hungry Children of Asia

Who are the Poor? It is difficult for me to look at a photograph of a hungry child and simply turn the page. Perhaps it is because I have spent so many years working with young people at Kochi University and traveling across Asia to share the pro-life message. When you look into the face of a child who does not have enough to eat, hunger is no longer just a statistic. It has a face. It is a little boy or girl who is hungry today and whose parents may not know where tomorrow's food will come from. How many children worldwide suffer from hunger? The numbers are staggering. According to the latest estimates from UNICEF, the World Health Organization, and the World Bank, 42.8 million children under five... Continue reading at Fr. Jerry's Blog...

Ethical Perspectives

New! A Democrat's Ideological Journey on Abortion

Joshua Sohn
So long as the pro-life movement is part of the GOP coalition, the attractiveness of the pro-life message is affected by the attractiveness of the GOP. And it's hard to grow the pro-life tent if the pro-life movement is bound up with a hard-right GOP that is repellent to centrist and center-left voters.

New! From Tiananmen to Bulldozing Churches: China's New Crackdown Exposes the Bloodthirsty Nature of Communism

Rod Lampard
Bishop Fulton Sheen argued Communism and capitalism share a common root - materialism divorced from morality. That affinity, this piece argues, explains China's persecution of Christians today.

Jeremy Adams
There are certain universal and timeless truths about what works in a classroom that no technological advancement (even a humanoid robot) will ever change. And this knowledge is where being the old man on campus can have power and resonance.

AI, Automation, and the Meaning of Work

Jordan J. Ballor
Abuse is no argument against proper use. But AI's challenges and opportunities are bound up with identifying the scale and scope of proper use as well as the consequences of abuse, and how to distinguish one from another.

Toward an Understanding of Suicide

Ronald Rolheiser
Every year I try to write an article on suicide because it is perhaps the most misunderstood of all deaths and it wreaks a unique havoc among the family and the loved ones left behind.

Victims of the Revolution

Ryan T. Anderson
Can we insist on the biological reality of sex while denying the biological reality of the unborn child? "This far and no further" has its limits. We should make tactical partnerships in the battles that can be won today. But we shouldn't allow tactical alliances to cloud our vision of the truth.

You must not tell the truth if it might hurt someone?

Shannon Roberts

Don't Argue the Exceptions

John Stonestreet
"But what about the . . . ?" Has a rare exception every stumped you when making the case for life or anything else? Here's how to respond with grace and truth.

The impotence pandemic

Judith Reisman
Sex therapists and pornographers have long prescribed pornography to correct male impotence and to "spice up" a couple's sex life. However, the broader meaning of "potency" is "power, authority … a person or thing exerting power or influence." The proper contextual definition of modern impotence, then, is not the narrow classification of "erectile dysfunction."

Rescuing Frozen Embryos: Is Adoption a Valid Moral Option?

E. Christian Brugger
Embryo adoption chosen to save the life of an endangered human being has as its end the rescue of the threatened human person (which is good) and as a means an act of uterine nurture, which given a iusta causa (a serious reason) can be morally legitimate. Although it may be wrong to choose in particular cases, chiefly if a woman has good reason to believe that adopting the burdens of pregnancy will compromise her ability to fulfill well her already existing duties, the act cannot be intrinsically evil.

Three ways of dying

Michael Cook
This is about three women and death: one is Indian, one is Rwandan, and one is American. They come from very different cultures and they are dealing with the end of life in very different ways. One of them is particularly sorrowful -- but it is the shame that hurts, not the pain.
