SCOTUS Upholds Sex-Based Restrictions in Sports - Unanimously?
Two miracles took place at the Supreme Court today in two cases involving Title IX and women's sports. The first miracle is that common sense and biology prevailed. The second miracle is that the decision was unanimous ... at least in part. Planned Parenthood Offers 'Just In Case Abortion Pills'
A Planned Parenthood affiliate is offering "Just In Case Abortion Pills," We Must Protect Babies From Being Dismembered in Abortions
Legislation has now been introduced in both chambers of Congress to protect babies from the brutal, second-trimester abortion procedure known as D&E - dilation and evacuation. As terrible as that sounds, the true nature of the procedure is far worse: Living babies in the womb are literally torn limb from limb and removed in pieces. Leading the Parade into Madness
The rainbow has become holy. The Bible has become blasphemy. While Canada's Prime Minister celebrates at a Pride parade, a New York Catholic hospice caring for terminal cancer patients faces closure ? unless the nuns agree to use the 'correct' pronouns. There's No Mystery to America's Fertility Decline
On the same day last month, two prominent opinion writers both addressed the U.S. fertility decline: Louise Perry wrote in the Wall Street Journal that "Falling birth rates are a mystery," while Jessica Grose at the New York Times stated that it is "not a mystery" why fertility rates are falling, pointing to the significant drop in teen births as the most likely culprit. Abortions Kill 1 in 3 Babies in the UK
Data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) on conception rates in 2023 have shown that while there has been an increase in pregnancies, a higher increase in abortions has led to fewer babies being born overall. Canada Euthanizes a Record 17,700 People in 2025

Why Americans Are Falling Out of Love with LGBT 'Pride'
Same-sex marriage was sold to the public as loving and harmless. We were told that "love is love" and that "marriage equality" would have no negative effects on the rest of us. But the slope was slippery, and assurances of 'live and let live' proved to be a lie. More Headlines…

If I could sit down with a group of university students and young adults today, there is one conversation I would want us to have. It would not begin with computers or robots. It would begin with a much more important question: What kind of person do you want to become?
As you prepare for your future, you will make decisions about your studies, your career, your friendships, and perhaps one day your marriage and family. At the same time, you are entering a world where Artificial Intelligence (AI) is becoming part of everyday life. Technology will influence many of those decisions. But it should never define the person you become. That is why this article is not really about AI. It is about you. It is about building a life of wisdom, character, and faith in a world that is changing faster than ever before.
The eight questions that follow are an invitation to think beyond technology and to consider something far more important: how to build a life of character in an age of Artificial Intelligence. Continue reading at Fr. Jerry's Blog... Ethical Perspectives Michael D. Pfeifer
The Season of Creation is in the spirit of truth a time to do a heart-filled assessment of the situation of Mother Earth which is suffering many abuses and misuses by we humans. This Season is a source of strength and communion, encouraging us to truly hope and act justly with all of creation. We begin in a deep spirit of heartfelt gratitude, thanking our loving God for the beautiful gift of all creation. Samantha Stephenson
The elimination of suffering will not produce joy. If we seek to be truly free, we must acknowledge our responsibilities to one another. We will flourish to the extent that we all can flourish. Seth C. Oranburg
The Talmudic and rabbinic tradition diverges from the latest encyclical, and the divergence highlights a paradox in the papal logic. Leo XIV's strongest move, his categorical prohibition against the use of AI to make "lethal or otherwise irreversible decisions," demands a more principled distinction between the Switchblade and the CyberKnife.

Not knowing or loving yourself is one of the fiercest battles we face as human beings. Countless people suffer from low self-esteem, from self-doubt, and even from self-loathing. But what happens when these feelings are compounded by a lack of comfort or even a disgust about your sex organs? This is what people face when they experience gender dysphoria, and it's incredibly confusing when it's a child - especially when it's your child. Marie Brousseau
The elderly are immense gifts to society, yet too often today we see that our culture focuses on personal fulfillment, which can then lead to the neglect of people who are no longer deemed necessary or productive. This includes the sick and the elderly, who may feel lonely, abandoned, and isolated from their own families.

What was always known before as "terminal sedation," was properly applied for certain clinical conditions: the sedating of a patient whose extreme agitation (called "terminal agitation at the end-of-life"), delusional or psychotic state, or extreme pain could not be managed any other way, making him a danger to himself or others, or allowing his continued suffering. This "terminal sedation" properly protects the patient from himself and helps to achieve relief from those distressing symptoms. There is nothing in the original use of "terminal sedation" that required the patient to be denied artificial fluid and nutrition through a feeding tube, IV or other route.

"There is a time for war," says the preacher in Ecclesiastes, "and a time for peace." Let the present time point toward the time of perfect and ultimate peace, when the swords of nations shall be beaten into plowshares. Proclaim Sermons
Why does personal and inner peace seem so elusive? Perhaps, we're looking for it in the wrong places. For example, if we turn to the world for peace, we're likely to find that this peace is too easy, too pat, too transitory. It's the peace of the graveyard. It's a peace that flourishes when the sun is shining and shudders when the storms come crashing through our reality. So, to whom can we turn?

Fifty years ago, United States Supreme Court judges invented a right to abortion for all America after feminists (and not a few men) insisted that, for women to stand as equal citizens with men, they had to be able to kill their unborn children. Steven Mosher
A federal district court judge has ruled that a series of Indiana laws banning sex-selective abortion and other discriminatory forms of abortion are unconstitutional. Irving News Comments
Imagine that in the year 2004 the term "embryo" is now considered as "politically divisive language". It leaves one breathless to see how far our culture has come to caving in to political correctness -- without the least consideration as to the destructive and lethal consequences not only to these "embryos" but to adult members of our society at large. What kind of fools do we now suffer ourselves?
Men Not at Work
The Church and combatting joblessness Eric Metaxas
Demographers and economists say American men are facing an epidemic of epic proportions: joblessness. Proclaim Sermons
It is a sign of weak faith, or no faith at all, to trumpet for all the world to see and hear what one claims to be doing for God. Does God not see what we're doing? Does God not know why we're doing it? Do we know why we're doing it? Do we not grasp that God already sees, and knows? What difference does it make if people see us or not, if we're doing it for God? If you are looking to be seen by others, being seen by others is your reward.

In a Melbourne maternity hospital last month a very shocking event occurred. A healthy, 32-week-old, wanted, unborn child was killed by a lethal injection when the sonographer performing the procedure mistook the child for its unhealthy twin. When the mistake was realised, the mother had an emergency caesarean section and the sick child was also terminated, according to news reports The whole tragic episode left the mother traumatised and everybody involved distraught.

Does it mean that war is less likely? Countries with large numbers of young people as a percentage of the population are more likely to engage in international hostilities than countries with an older age structure.
