SCOTUS Upholds Sex-Based Restrictions in Sports - Unanimously?
Two miracles took place at the Supreme Court today in two cases involving Title IX and women's sports. The first miracle is that common sense and biology prevailed. The second miracle is that the decision was unanimous ... at least in part. Planned Parenthood Offers 'Just In Case Abortion Pills'
A Planned Parenthood affiliate is offering "Just In Case Abortion Pills," We Must Protect Babies From Being Dismembered in Abortions
Legislation has now been introduced in both chambers of Congress to protect babies from the brutal, second-trimester abortion procedure known as D&E - dilation and evacuation. As terrible as that sounds, the true nature of the procedure is far worse: Living babies in the womb are literally torn limb from limb and removed in pieces. Leading the Parade into Madness
The rainbow has become holy. The Bible has become blasphemy. While Canada's Prime Minister celebrates at a Pride parade, a New York Catholic hospice caring for terminal cancer patients faces closure ? unless the nuns agree to use the 'correct' pronouns. There's No Mystery to America's Fertility Decline
On the same day last month, two prominent opinion writers both addressed the U.S. fertility decline: Louise Perry wrote in the Wall Street Journal that "Falling birth rates are a mystery," while Jessica Grose at the New York Times stated that it is "not a mystery" why fertility rates are falling, pointing to the significant drop in teen births as the most likely culprit. Abortions Kill 1 in 3 Babies in the UK
Data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) on conception rates in 2023 have shown that while there has been an increase in pregnancies, a higher increase in abortions has led to fewer babies being born overall. Canada Euthanizes a Record 17,700 People in 2025

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. More Headlines…

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 Michael D. Pfeifer
The Season of Creation is in the spirit of truth a time to do a heart-filled assessment of the situation of Mother Earth which is suffering many abuses and misuses by we humans. This Season is a source of strength and communion, encouraging us to truly hope and act justly with all of creation. We begin in a deep spirit of heartfelt gratitude, thanking our loving God for the beautiful gift of all creation. 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.
Irving News Comments
"Nuclear transplantation" is human cloning. ... Using "eggs" (oocytes) as the source of the nucleus is germ line cloning for eugenic purposes. ... The "stem cells" ultimately derived from human embryos cloned would cause rejection reactions in the patients. ... Genetically disabled human beings will be cloned, and then killed. ... Using oocytes of "awful quality" hardly engenders confidence in the use of any stem cells derived. ... Great Britain still hangs on desperately to their "pre-embryo" myth, thus women are precluded from giving legally or ethically valid informed consent. ... Hopefully Great Britain has clearly and unambiguously assured any patients that they will have competent and free follow-up medical care should they experience any physical or psychological harm (or death) because of the injection of such "stem cells" for their "therapies".

An incomprehensible number like 73 million can be so challenging for people to wrap their heads around that many, if not most, choose to ignore it. But in this case, that number represents human beings who were brutally killed by acts of abortion. It is an unfathomable tragedy. We might choose to balance that number against the total population of the world today, perhaps making it more realistic for us. Michael Cook
Why is 1 in 18 men in the world's richest nation on probation, on parole or in jail? Dianne N. Irving
It is a fascinating question. "How can those like Irving Weissman (and Michael West et al) continue to get away with such fabricated "science" - even in testimonies before Congess?" For a more realistic understanding of Weissman's "science", all one has to do is go to the library and look it up. Judie Brown
Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has died, but the legacy that she leaves behind will not die. She is described as a feminist icon whose uncompromising support for abortion rights, homosexual rights, and other leftist cultural goals made her a hero for many. Charles J. Chaput
Brothers, we most truly serve the common good by having the courage to be disciples of Jesus Christ. God gave us a free will, but we need to use it. Discipleship has a cost. Jesus never said that we didn't need a spine. The world doesn't need affirmation. It needs conversion. It doesn't need the approval of Catholics. It needs their witness. And that work needs to begin with us. Andy Mullins
This week, several Australian Catholic schools cancelled talks by Jason Evert, an American speaker who specialises in presentations preparing young people for loving commitment in relationships and sexual responsibility. Asia Human Rights
You have rightly concluded that there is "a human rights catastrophe" in Myanmar. We agree with your recommendation that the "Member States must act urgently to prevent a further disintegration of Myanmar into a nationwide armed conflict or state collapse". Anthony Zimmerman
No Catholic University may conduct IVF practices because IVF is black evil, unyielding to the best of wishful thinking. Ditto for abortion, contraception, contraceptive sterilization, assisted suicide, anything intrinsically evil. Good intentions don't baptize evil acts. Mathew Otieno
We are a quarrelsome lot, but we know how to rise above it.
