Protecting the Sibling
Stephanie Winn (LMFT) discusses the impact of trans-identification on families and siblings. She writes, "When one child in a family transitions -- especially an older child who has influence, charisma, or the mystique of rebellion -- parents naturally worry about the other children. Will the younger sibling follow?...Not every younger sibling is equally vulnerable. Understanding the risk and protective factors helps you calibrate your response." The Magisterium of the Popes and nuclear weapons
Our Editorial Director recalls the teachings of the Popes on nuclear weapons since the atomic bombings of Japan in August 1945. The Bible Does Not Support Abortion. Here's Proof

A new study out of Finland showed that adolescents and young adults who underwent sex-rejecting procedures (puberty blockers, "cross-sex" hormones, or surgery) "had worse mental health outcomes than a control group that did not receive such bodily alterations. The study tracked 2,083 people who had sought medical services for gender confusion between 1996-2019." Despite the glaring evidence of harm, many American "medical" institutions continue to provide harmful interventions to vulnerable persons. Catholic Bishop Condemns Abortion: "All Human Life is Sacred From Conception"
The chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' Committee on Pro-Life Activities has voiced strong support for legislation aimed at revoking the Food and Drug Administration's approval of the dangerous abortion drug mifepristone. He is reaffirming the Catholic Church's teaching that all human life is sacred from the moment of conception. Abortion is Wrong Because Unborn Babies are Human Beings

There is a quiet change happening in our world. It is not loud, and many people do not notice it right away. But it matters. More and more, abortion is happening not in clinics, but at home, through pills. It is private, fast, and often done alone. I never imagined I would feel this deeply about something so often discussed in whispers, but headlines such as this, "Abortion Pills Now Kill 2/3 of All Babies Killed in Abortions," make it harder to ignore. Many people say the procedure is a good thing. They speak about freedom, control, and privacy. I understand why that sounds appealing. But as a Catholic, I cannot see it that way. For me, this is not just a social issue - it is spiritual. It raises more profound questions about life, truth, and what we believe about who we are.

When I saw this recent prayer petition at a daily Mass: "For all who have died or suffered because of violence," I couldn't help but think of all the babies who die so violently under the legal shield of medical, clinical, and chemical abortion. Francis X. Maier
The decisive question for this and every age, Trueman argues, is Who and what is Man? Anthony Jose Sirven
The definition of "personhood" isn't an issue we can push off much longer; technology will make us face it sooner than some might prefer. Shenan J. Boquet
Of all the saints, Joseph stands as the model of faithful fatherhood: the man whom God entrusted with the protection of the Holy Family, and who fulfilled that mission with quiet, unwavering devotion. In him we see what marriage and fatherhood are meant to be, i.e. a sacrificial gift of self, ordered toward the good of spouse and children, rooted in obedience to God's plan. Susan Ciancio
A mother recently told me that, when she found out that her baby had a 99% chance of having Down syndrome, her first course of action was to do an online search for what she could expect. What she found frightened her.

Most recently in North Carolina, upon learning that Planned Parenthood was apparently using the name Tharrington Medical Clinic to renovate an old Pizza Hut building and turn it into an abortion clinic, Pastor Hunter became angry. "I refuse to sit back and let an organization founded by a racist sneak into our town and set up a shop to murder babies." The "racist" he is referring to is, of course, Margaret Sanger who, in her quest to rid the world of minorities and the poor, focused a great deal of her attention on the black community.

We all remember Obama's campaign rhetoric. "This election is not just about playing defense, it's also about playing offense," he said to cheers and shouts from Planned Parenthood in 2007. "When the real war is being fought abroad, they would have us fight 'culture wars' here at home. But I am absolutely convinced that culture wars are 'just so nineties.'" Mark J. Seitz
It is often said that every man has his price. In this age it seems that even moral absolutes have their price in the minds of many. Actions are viewed as morally wrong only until I decide that the action would have sufficient benefits for me. This is the moral relativism we have often heard our present and our previous Holy Fathers condemn. This approach to morality has led our society into actions many of us would never have imagined possible. Nancy Valko
Should parents have absolute power over their children's lives or do the state and society have an obligation to ensure that everyone, disabled or able-bodied, has a right to necessary care and treatment? Asia Human Rights
This was a tragic transformation. It was not merely a transformation of an individual but the transformation of the entire social and legal structure of Sri Lanka. The transformation was tragic for the individual concerned, and for all other individuals who will hold that post, and also for the entire nation. Steven Mosher
It is fitting that the Chinese Communist Party's favorite color is red, since it is the biggest killing machine in human history. John Stonestreet
Now, in the age of the Metaverse, something else is here ... and it is even creepier. "Augmented reality babies" offer users the virtual experience of "parenting" an algorithm designed to behave like a real baby. Judie Brown
Abortion does not only end the lives of children. It often coarsens and hardens those who make that choice, the blood of the innocents scabbing over consciences so that only ugly laughter meets the pleading of a young man who simply wanted the chance to fight for his baby Helen Alvaré
The obvious answers are the family, the churches and the state. Media could help. All regularly take up these sorts of questions. But there are fearsome hurdles to success for any of these institutions. My next column - the last in this series about out of wedlock births - will consider how each of these institutions might proceed, as well as the hurdles they face.

Each one of us has our own personal battle, but our battle can now be won; for Christ was victorious over Satan in the desert. To win our own battle, he only asks us to give him our humanity. In return, he will give us his divinity: "You give me your humanity, and I will give you my divinity. With my divinity, you will rise above sin, and ultimately, you will enter into the unimaginable joy of eternal life". This gospel shows us just what is involved in that exchange.
