Why the Catholic Church Opposes 'In Vitro Fertilization'

Since the birth of the first "test-tube baby" in 1978, in vitro fertilization (IVF) has provided hope and a path to parenthood for many couples who cannot conceive naturally. The Catholic Church, however, has consistently rejected IVF - not out of hostility to suffering couples, but because of deeper beliefs about marriage, human life, and the dignity of the human person. The Church opposes IVF largely because the process usually creates multiple embryos in a laboratory. Some are implanted, but others are frozen, discarded, or destroyed. Since the Church views each embryo as a human life, this loss of embryos is considered morally unacceptable. The inherent dignity of a human person deserves full moral and legal respect and protection. The Church teaches that embryos must never be treated merely as a means to an end. Continue reading at Fr.

New! Thoughts on Romantic Love, Sexuality and Matrimony

Douglas McManaman
In romantic love, the one who has fallen in love sees the beloved as God sees the beloved. But this can only happen if God gives the one who is in love (the lover) a sharing in the way He sees the beloved. And so, this is a grace; it is an illumination. And that is why in the experience of falling in love, the one in love is very much preoccupied with the beloved, thinks of the beloved a great deal more than he or she otherwise would.

Who's on Trial? (Good Friday)

Proclaim Sermons
In John's account, Jesus is not the only one on trial; Pilate, the judge, and Peter, the friend of the accused, are also tested. We can be tested by it as well. Who is Jesus to us: a fraud, loser, truth-teller or king? Where do we fit into the story? Do we stand in opposition to Jesus, distance ourselves from him or stand with him in the time of trial? Everything depends on our answer.

Japan in the Death Spiral

Brian Clowes
For years, Catholic pro-lifers have been warning that abortion, sterilization and contraception cause the collapse of an individual's morality and the destruction of families. Now, demographers are indirectly telling us that these evils are destroying entire nations and continents. Unfortunately, governments do not even acknowledge the root cause of the problem of the "demographic death spiral." An impending white paper by the Japanese government tells us that the "foundations of communities" - police, fire and other basic services - will be threatened by the country's declining birthrate and aging population.
