The most advanced age in human history is tolerating a kind of global war on children that no normal person, left or right, would defend if they saw the numbers laid bare. Ebola epidemic spreading rapidly and outpacing containment efforts

I had every 'gender-affirming' surgery. Here's why I'm now speaking the truth
Theodore Dalrymple, senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, has said one of the ways in which neo-Marxist social justice totalitarians exert control is by humiliating people into admitting or professing that something is true which they know is not true. Forcing them to say things they know are false is the ultimate exertion of power and control. Pope Leo's over 400 appeals for peace during first year of pontificate
In the first year of his pontificate, Pope Leo XIV has appealed hundreds of times for a reconciliation that is "unarmed and disarming," and urged the "lords of war" to listen to "a melody greater than ourselves." Reflections on St. Pope John Paul II's "Letter to the Elderly"
The great pontiff's words remind us that life is short and that we must live it with one goal in mind-to get to heaven. SSPX is choosing the path of schism
The Catholic Church has a simple principle that ecclesial revolutionaries keep finding impressively difficult to understand: obedience to legitimate authority belongs to communion and covenant hierarchy rather than institutional convenience. Cardinal Eijk: Same-Sex Synod Report Must Be Forcefully Refuted
Cardinal Willem Eijk: "By elevating such testimonies without doctrinal commentary, the report effectively normalizes homosexual relationships within a Church context. This represents a clear attempt to weaken the proclamation of Catholic moral teaching. The deeper problem lies in the report's entire methodological framework." Unborn Babies Can't be a Clump of Cells When They Have a Heartbeat
Whenever I talk about embryonic hearts there's usually a few people who push back, both actually pro-life and pro-choice people, who push back because, they argue, hearts don't determine personhood. Yeah, I agree with you. I don't talk about embryonic hearts because I think having a heart makes you a morally valuable person. I talk about embryonic hearts because they matter to a lot of people, whether they make you a morally valuable person or not. France Once Again Rejects Bill to Legalize Assisted Suicide

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."

Over the last few years, the United States has seen a significant increase in the number of states allowing physician-assisted suicide. Similar to euthanasia, where a doctor intentionally causes a patient?s death, physician-assisted suicide involves the prescription of lethal drugs that patients can then take themselves.

While conversion may involve a love of beauty, a hunger for doctrinal security, the frisson of transgression, or a desire for the forgiveness of sins, it is ultimately a deep mystery of grace and therefore transcends our understanding. Paul Marshall
We tend to confuse the substantive protection of rights with the position that courts should always have the final word on what those rights are. But without slighting courts, we should also recognize the roles of the other two branches of government in defining rights. Judie Brown
The simple fact that every human being has a similar beginning as a single cell fertilized egg seems to be more than some people can comprehend. This came into stark focus when we read Professor Risa Cromer's article entitled "Embryo Personhood's IVF Problem: What the Data Reveals." Mike Johns
We need philosophical arguments to counter the empty voluntarism of our time, and this is a challenge the Church should meet head-on.

Washington State has legalized the commercial trade in babies. Think I'm kidding? Proclaim Sermons
So often, the church today seems to be many things, but not very humble. Apparently, this is an age-old problem, made evident in this letter written by the apostle Paul to the church in Philippi. The solution to selfish ambition and conceit is found in the humility of Jesus. But how do we adopt this type of humility? Perhaps it is in examining the extremes that Jesus is willing to take as he empties himself for our sake.

Whatever happened to the "ethical" or "virtuous" scientist? It still matters. The falsifications of data at the bench lead to dangerous drug medications, falsification of the scientific and medical literatures for generations, misinformation used by scientific colleagues, wasting of precious grants and monies, legal loopholes in legislation and regulations, and ultimately for the total loss of confidence in the credibility of these various related fields in the eyes of the general public. Where is the accountability?

Suffering is part of human existence from birth until death, and every human person suffers in a variety of ways: physically, psychologically, socially, and spiritually. The Bible provides many examples: one's own death, the danger of death, the death of children or friends, sterility, homesickness, persecution, mockery, scorn, loneliness, abandonment, remorse, watching the wicked prosper while the just suffer, the unfaithfulness of spouse and friends, and the misfortunes of one's homeland. Suffering in one form or another accompanies each of us every day. It is an inescapable feature of human existence. Proclaim Sermons
Hospitality is among the most ancient of human traditions. On the most basic level, it's about providing the essentials of life for another person, especially another person who's on a journey. Food, water and a roof over the head: the essentials. Michael Cook

With the March 8 now widely touted as International Women's Day, dedicated to the celebration of all women, one is tempted to ask, in the present climate of wokeness, whether this celebration includes men who consider themselves to be women - even those not recognised as such on an official certificate. Asia Human Rights
The Cross Cultural Foundation (CrCF) urges the Head of the National Council for Peace and Order (NCPO), Gen. Prayuth Chan-ocha, to review and revoke the order to uphold the rule of law and human rights safeguard, particularly the right to justice process which is fundamental and indispensable for the restoration of democracy in Thailand.

The demographic news from Italy remains bad. It has in fact got worse; so bad that the President, Sergio Mattarella, has recently described it as a "problem that concerns the existence of our country".
