Germany's Trans Laws are a Threat to Women, Free Speech, and Common Sense
Germany is becoming a world leader in transgender confusion. Since its implementation in 2024, the country's Self-Determination Act has given rise to an increasing number of surreal court proceedings. One such case--which, fortunately, ended in an acquittal earlier this month--involved the chairperson of a feminist group called 'Frauenheldinnen,' an organisation that has been battling the transgender spell.

New Report Shows Abortions Killed 99,470 Babies in January
A new report from the Guttmacher Institute from its Monthly Abortion Provision Study estimates a total of 99,470 abortions for January 2026. The estimate follows a Guttmacher calculation of 1,126,470 abortions for all of 2025, or an average of 93,872 abortions per month for that year.

UK transgender bathroom ban is the latest setback for the LGBT lobby
Because the landmark 2025 UK Supreme Court ruling stating that 'sex' in the Equality Act refers only to biological sex -- rather than 'gender identity,' as trans activists claimed -- the transgender movement has faced setback after setback. After being almost entirely conquered by the trans movement in less than a decade, the pendulum has been swinging back in the UK.

Science Is Making the Humanity of Unborn Babies Harder to Ignore
Baby Arthur had parvovirus, which was causing his body to fill with fluid. "His organs were failing. His heart was completely enveloped in fluid. It was struggling to pump," his mother said. "If nothing was done, he would not have made it much longer."

Abortion Industry Promotes New, Dangerous Chemical Abortion Regimen
Pro-abortion organizations are touting a dangerous, unproven chemical abortion regimen to stymie potential regulations on the abortion drug mifepristone.

Sex-Affirming Care vs "Gender-Affirming Care"
"Gender-Affirming Care is dressed in the language of compassion. Yet behind the reassuring vocabulary sits the automatic medicalisation of a person's sense of identity...Therapy has moved from helping people understand themselves to helping them reshape their bodies and faces so that their appearance reflects an inner psychological reality."

Gaza children trapped 'in an endless cycle of suffering': UNICEF
The dire conditions in the Gaza Strip are trapping children "in an endless cycle of suffering" and their heartbroken parents can only look on, an official with the UN child rights agency UNICEF said on Friday in a fresh appeal for greater humanitarian access to support families in the war-ravaged enclave.

Canada Has Euthanized Over 100,000 People
In April 2026, Canada surpassed 100,000 reported euthanasia deaths since legalization in June 2016. Canada doesn't need to further expand euthanasia to people who are mentally ill but rather Canada needs to completely review its euthanasia killing program.

UN Report: Unseen Child War Victims Soar
The most advanced age in human history is tolerating a kind of global war on children that no normal person, left or right, would defend if they saw the numbers laid bare.

Ebola epidemic spreading rapidly and outpacing containment efforts

Who Decides When A Life Is Valuable?

Worthy? Who decides? When hospitals, media, and policy accept ending or withholding life for the vulnerable, I see how we begin to treat some people as less than fully human - problems to manage rather than neighbors to love. In this article I ask who judges a life's value and move from institutions to the everyday moments where dignity is made or denied: a hurried bedside conversation, a refused invitation, a steady presence. Drawing on my Catholic faith, Scripture, and stories of the elderly, disabled, and marginalized, I examine how assumptions about usefulness erode worth and offer practical compassion - listening, shared meals, sacramental care - that restores dignity and says, "You matter."

Ethical Perspectives

New! Gen Z and Men Who Yearn

Beatrice Scudeler
For a generation marked by a noticeable gender split on political beliefs as well as by ever declining marriage rates, it would seem that young women still retain a desire for a specific vision of manhood. But what exactly is that vision?

New! A Father's Cry

Calvin Barnes
My hope in writing this article is that people come to truly understand the magnitude of abortion and that the pain it causes can last a lifetime. I suppose I will continue to adapt, but I will never get over the untimely death of my preborn child.

New! War, Restraint, and the Christian Conscience

Russell L. Lackey
The church's task is neither to baptize the sword nor to pretend the sword has no place in a fallen world. It is to stand beneath the cross, telling the truth.

New! From Promised Autonomy to Delivered Harm: Structural Violence in the Era of Mail-Order Abortion Drugs

Gavin Oxley
Government systems should be designed with care in mind, not weaponized to harm abortion-vulnerable women.

New! What Binds Marriage Forever?

Nathanael Blake
Only a revitalization of the richness of Christian marriage will suffice as a bulwark against the insanity, exploitation, and selfishness of the gender and sexual revolutions.

FDA to Review Concerns on the Essure Sterilization Procedure

Steven Mosher
After receiving thousands of complaints of adverse side-effects, the FDA has decided to conduct a hearing on the safety and effectiveness of Essure. The controversial sterilization implant involves pushing micro coils made of nitinol (a nickel-titanium alloy) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fibers into a woman's fallopian tubes via a hysteroscope and catheter. This scars the fallopian tubes and seals them shut.

Am and Am Not

Proclaim Sermons
The "I Am" statements in the Gospel of John define who Jesus is. In this passage John the Baptist, a witness to the light, defines himself with a series of "I Am Not" statements. These should lead us to consider who we are and who we are not, and help us become better witnesses to the light.

India: MNREGA budget cut in the times of drought

Asia Human Rights
The rural distress plaguing large tracts of the Indian countryside is no secret. This distress has heightened in the wake of the devastating drought that is affecting more than half of India's 676 districts.

Dying for Us
A Partial Reply to Christopher Hitchens

Douglas McManaman
Hitchens argues that the doctrine of vicarious atonement is an immoral and highly dangerous one; to take a guilty man's place of punishment, for example, to go to prison in his stead or to submit to execution on his behalf, is repugnant to the very idea of justice; for the criminal alone can pay his debt, not the innocent man. But that is not an analogous case that accurately illustrates the doctrine of Christ's redemption.

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.

In death as in life only one thing remains

Tom Bartolomeo
In death as in life only one thing remains. Nothing changes - except we will know there is no turning back like an plane at lift-off without a return flight. The memory of where we have been will fade quickly as we anticipate the place of our arrival. The persons we were before we passed through the gates of the terminal will be the same persons we are after de-boarding the flight on our arrival like people passing from one room to another. Except for the sorrow of those we leave behind our lives will remain the same forever.

Conscientious Abortions? We Don't Need New Laws Protecting Abortionists

Richard M. Doerflinger
A recent argument that abortion providers deserve the same legal protection as pro-life medical providers is philosophically flawed and ignores legal and popular consensus on the evil of abortion.

May Catholics Donate Organs?

Shenan J. Boquet
According to Church teaching, Catholics and other persons of good will who are truly dead and who have previously and freely expressed their desire to donate organs can do so only if their death has been determined by the most accurate medical parameters.

Scientists and doctors are talking through their hats on abortion

Michael Cook
On June 24 the US Supreme Court reversed Roe v. Wade and declared that there was no right to abortion in the American Constitution. Ever since, the world's leading scientific and medical journals have been campaigning not just against the ruling, but against the Supreme Court itself.
