Softball Hall of Famer on the Future of Men in Women's Sports - 'Girls Are Going to Get Wiped Out'
As the ridiculous battle over biological men playing in women's sports inexplicably rages on, the most inexplicable thing that has come from it is actual women who either really cannot see the implications, both physical and otherwise, or are too afraid to admit to the alphabet mafia that they really do and won't speak up.

After 10 Years of Covering the Trans Madness, Here's What I Learned
Journalist Brandon Showalter recaps the horrors of the transgender movement: "Those of us who've been doing the hard work exposing the madness against an impenetrable mainstream media blockade can all tell you what it's like to learn about all the horrors, only to be gaslit with flat denials like 'that's not happening.' Then you show concrete proof, and it becomes 'well, it's only a few people,' and then maybe 'why are you so obsessed with this small, strange issue?'."

When Silence Feels Too Easy: A Christian Reflection on Abortion Pills

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. Continue reading at Fr. Jerry's Blog...

New! Don't Worry. Be Conservative.

Ben Peterson
The war on spiritual poverty is worth fighting, and we need foot soldiers and generals who are willing to wage it.

New! America's Birthrate Crisis: The Contraceptive Roots of the Population Bust

Shenan J. Boquet
Is the world facing an existentially threatening crisis of overpopulation? Until a few years ago, practically every major Western politician, institution, and media outlet was in lockstep. Yes, the world was overpopulated. And it was only going to get worse, with consequences including ecological disaster, warfare, famine, hunger, and poverty.

New! Abortion Drug Crisis: Four Years After Overturning of Roe v Wade, Abortions Have Nearly Doubled

Dan Hart
Since the Supreme Court handed down its Dobbs decision overturning Roe v. Wade four years ago Wednesday, allowing dozens of states to establish laws protecting unborn babies, abortions have nonetheless almost doubled in the U.S. due to the abortion pill, which is being shipped from dozens of domestic and international vendors across state lines in violation of dozens of state pro-life laws.

New! Roi Yozevitch Is AI Taking Over the "Religion of the Book"?

Roi Yozevitch
An AI does not only "remember" all the words. But as any ChatGPT user can testify, it finds connections between different sources, summarizes them, generates challenging questions, and even deduces new insights. It can therefore seem as though these machines are well-versed in almost any topic.

New! Eleven Years After Obergefell, Who Will Speak for the Children?

Joseph A. DeAngelo
The work, eleven years in, begins with honesty; the admission that Obergefell was not a neutral expansion of rights but a substitution of one set of duties for another, and that the duties it displaced were owed chiefly to children.

Where Does Humility Come From? (Ordinary Times 31)

Proclaim Sermons
Genuine, healthy forms of humility derive from spiritual growth that makes us into "good trees." We become humble out of gratitude for what God has done, and because it brings us true joy.

The Bartimaeus Lens (Original Times 30)

Proclaim Sermons
Saint Mark is the only gospel writer who gives us a name for an unfortunate beggar who had the good fortune of meeting a well-known miracle worker whose fame was growing. Although the beggar was blind, he could quite clearly see an opportunity when it showed up. And when Jesus came near, he saw that he'd better seize the moment; he was not likely to get another one.

Rejecting Virtue Is Violent to the Core

Judie Brown
The growing trend today is for people to focus a great deal of time and effort on strengthening their bodies. While this is an important thing, we cannot focus only on our shells to the detriment of our souls. Spending time strengthening our inner person, our true selves, is much more important because all eternity depends upon it.

Comments: California Court Rejects False Science in Proposition 71.

Irving News Comments
The other part of the story is that, quite deceptively, the term "human embryonic stem cells" used in Proposition 71 also includes human embryonic stem cells derived a-sexually from cloned human embryos -- i.e., human embryos that have been cloned by "nuclear transfer" for the purpose of deriving stem cells from them. The organization below understood this and was sued by proponents of Proposition 71. The California Court rejected the proponents argument, agreeing that "nuclear transfer" is cloning regardless of the purpose or intention of the researchers. See the Affidavit filed on behalf of the DPTFR by scientist Dr. Stuart Newman who supported this accurate scientific claim.

The Triune God is Calling, Calling, Calling (Trinity Sunday)

Proclaim Sermons
The Christian idea of the Holy Trinity is derived from a careful reading of the Bible, and it's not just theological inside-baseball talk meant to confuse outsiders. Rather, it's an important way to understand who God is and what God is calling us to be and do.

Christ, Primate

Anthony Zimmerman
Martin Luther taught that a baptized person remains a sinner, but Christ's justice is imputed to him as a coverup. Trent, in 1546, identified the novelty and refuted it.

Engineering the Human Race: CRISPR

E. Christian Brugger
What rhymes with whisper, is simple and inexpensive to use, more significant to the history of medicine than the discovery of antibiotics, and was named a weapon of mass destruction by the U.S. Director of National Intelligence? It is called CRISPR, an elegant and perilous new scientific method for altering the genomes of living organisms.

Big business cashing in on reproductive services boom

Xavier Symons

Canada Cuts off Chinese Women's Freedom in Order to Spite America's Face

Review Essay of Robert P. George and Christopher Tollefsen, Embryo: A Defense of Human Life: Part I

William E. May
This book is so important and rich in content that I will devote two reports to it. In Part I, What Is At Stake in the Embryo Experimentation Debate (1-26), emphasizes that a human embryo is a whole living member of the species Homo Sapiens in the earliest stages of his/her natural development that, unless severely damaged or denied or deprived of a suitable environment, will develop himself/herself to the next more mature stage of development, the fetal stage. The embryonic, fetal, child, and adolescent stages are stages in the development of a determinate and enduring reality - a human being - who comes into existence as a single-celled organism (the zygote), and develops, if all goes well, into adulthood many years later. The human embryo is a person worthy of full human respect, as subsequent chapters will show with philosophical arguments (3-4).
