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. They Euthanized My Mom and Told Me Her Ashes Were in the Mail We don't solve pain anymore we sedate it, ignore it, or euthanize it. What does that say about us? Marc Rubio Says UN Has "Lost Its Purpose" by Promoting Abortion

Doctor Euthanizes 12-Year-Old Child The media is (properly) reporting that a Dutch doctor euthanized -- i.e. killed -- a sick twelve-year-old child (illness not reported). It is a "first" under a new Dutch law that allows euthanasia for children ages one to twelve. New York bishops say gender-neutral language law 'mocks the foundation of the family' Under the new law, "mother" would be replaced with "gestating parent," and "father" would become "non-gestating parent." Image vs. Truth: Bodily Confusion in a Virtual World From Evie Estes with Ruah Woods Institute: "The Church does not teach that our bodies are perfect in their present state or that appearances are irrelevant. It teaches something deeper: our bodies have dignity because they are animated by a spiritual soul & our sexual identity is part of this unity." Pope to grandparents and elderly: God's loving eyes are upon you at all times The Pope acknowledged that quite a few elderly people share the painful feeling of being forgotten, especially as they experience loneliness or sometimes being reduced to a bed number or illness.

Editorial
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 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. Susan Ciancio 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. Emily Hancock AI can shift how we communicate with one another, what work looks like for many roles, how relationships unfold, and how we order our lives. Much of our reaction to these projects reflects the understanding that this technology has the power to reshape the way humanity marches into the future, and not always in a way that serves the greater good.
Douglas McManaman I want to say a few words to any nurses who might be here. I hope you are aware of the great dignity and nobility of your vocation. Because God entered into the worst human suffering, He is present in the very depths of the sufferings of your patients, and so when you love them, and are patient with them, when you smile at them, and are kind to them, you are loving God Himself. Michael Cook Sterilization of intellectually disabled people should be banned unless they can consent, an Australian Senate Committee has recommended (see report). And taking children overseas to be sterilized should be made a criminal offense. Nathaniel Peters When Christianity enters a society, it provides an understanding of inherent and equal human dignity that lifts up those whom that society has considered unworthy. But what happens when Christianity recedes? Christian human dignity is not founded on maximizing fairness or autonomy, but on the fact that all human beings are made free and in the image of God. If it becomes detached from that principle, then human dignity no longer makes sense. Judie Brown To hear the major media tell it, the brouhaha over the MMR vaccine is really nothing more than a misunderstanding created by a former Playboy bunny, Jenny McCarthy, and her allegedly trumped up claims about the connections between autism and the vaccine. Arthur Goldberg Locking up the healthy while exposing the frail elderly makes no moral sense. Michael Cook Too often it is glibly asserted that troubled youths can deal with their psychological conflicts by transitioning to a different gender. They are either deceiving themselves or being deceived. The facts are there for anyone, especially those considering sexual reassignment surgery, to see: for many people life as a transgender is full of psychological pain. Elizabeth Wickham The NC legislature has before it two bills on assisted suicide, one to authorize it and one purporting to criminalize it. It is important to understand that the right-to-die movement contains two distinct groups, each of which supports one of the bills. This fact is important in explaining why BOTH of the bills that have been introduced in the NC General Assembly this spring are BAD bills which should be opposed. Carolyn Moynihan The first results from a New Zealand cohort study were published over the weekend with great fanfare, the first NZ Herald headline reading, "40pc of pregnancies unplanned". I think we were meant to be shocked rather than delighted at the lack of calculation behind so many births. One reason for that soon became apparent. Michael Cook If we welcome transgender women, are transgender mothers a big deal? Although surgeons are still mastering the technique of transplanting wombs, patients are already asking when this will become possible. Proclaim Sermons Of all the gospels, John's is the most descriptive regarding Jesus' suffering during the Passion. When Jesus announces that "it is finished," he speaks those words in relief and faith in what God does in the Cross. After Jesus' death, the blood and water that come from Jesus' side represent God's grace from a desolate situation.
