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. How Can Anyone Defend Transgender Sports After This?!

These days, it's hard to go a few weeks without bumping into another horrifying story about a man drugging his pregnant girlfriend, wife, or daughter with the abortion drug. But as disturbing as those headlines have been, coercion doesn't always take the form of an angry man. Sometimes, it's a misleading abortion doctor or the impatient Planned Parenthood worker who refuses to tell the truth about mifepristone or a woman's options. 1,126,760 Babies Killed in Abortions in 2025 as Mail-Order Abortions Skyrocket

Editorial
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."

By re-energizing a state's pro-life base and attracting enough swing voters to tip the scales, the movement can make real, even if "imperfect," progress toward ending elective abortion in America. 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. Bill Muehlenberg
Pope Leo XIV's first encyclical confronts the promises and perils of artificial intelligence, urging humanity to defend human dignity in an increasingly dehumanised age. Gregory E. Ganssle
Both Jesus and Nietzsche announce in the same sort of bold terms their own visions of life and death; prosperity and adversity. They set before us two paths to consider: one leading toward the flourishing life and one leading toward death. One toward liberation and one into oppression. Which path will we choose? Shenan J. Boquet
Euthanasia is a false solution to the drama of suffering, a solution that is not worthy of man. The real answer cannot be, in fact, to give death, as 'gentle' as this may be, but to testify to the love that helps us to face pain and agony in a humane way.

In a recent amendment of regulations on assisted reproduction services, the Singapore Ministry of Health explicitly banned elective sperm freezing without a medical indication. This was a highly unusual move - for better or for worse, there do not seem to be any other developed countries which ban sperm freezing. Proclaim Sermons
Jesus on the Cross, like the priests of ancient times, did something for us that we cannot do for ourselves. What happened to Jesus on the Cross was a priestly act which "removed sin," once and for all time. He was "...offered...to bear the sins of many." We are called, not only to take courage in our acknowledgment of his triumph over death, but to acknowledge the universal and eternal validity of his spiritual ministry, as well as to carry it forward. Steven Mosher
Of the many issues debated about perennially, few have the potential to save lives like defunding nation's number one abortion provider - Planned Parenthood. Douglas McManaman
Unless we see our own condition in another light, rather than in the light of our own minds, we remain blind to our real condition. We are like those slaves, but those whom the grace of God begins to enlighten are like Frederick Douglass. Perhaps we can say that Christ did not come for those who live in "stupid contentment", but for the truly poor in spirit, those who know they are enslaved, prisoners, in other words, those who recognize their utter need for God. Kimberly Ells
The stage is being set for the legal marginalization of mothers, fathers, and families by force of law. Judie Brown
When you tell someone something repeatedly and over many years, they come to believe it. That seems to be the case with the acceptance of contraception and abortion. No longer is the senseless slaughter of the innocent an outrage. It is a "choice" - an opinion that changes depending on who holds it. Politics and Principles
A primer for young people on what it means to vote responsibly Douglas McManaman
It is wonderful to see more and more people watching presidential debates, but one has to wonder about the use of it all when so few are able to evaluate a debate on the basis of truth and the issues, when most people today score a debate as they would a boxing match (i.e., which one was more aggressive, who threw the most zingers, who was more condescending, etc). We do not live in a culture that fosters a spirit of genuine debate, because debate is no longer about truth, but power. Xavier Symons
The rates of assisted suicide in Switzerland increased by 30% in 2015, bringing it close to eclipsing suicide as a cause of death. Michael Cook
The world-famous Tavistock clinic has been forced to close. Transgender medicine in the UK is in disarray, following similar turmoil in Sweden, Finland and France. Judie Brown
In our selfish world, we see motherhood scoffed at, we see babies thought of with disdain and discarded. We see people show more concern for the well-being of animals than for human life. It's a sickness that has slowly crept into the mindsets of people - young and old - and it's a sickness we must find a cure for if we are ever going to break this cycle and make people understand that the lives of all human beings are sacred.
