"Transgender" isn't what you think it is.
"Like a fever that signals an underlying infection, a transgender identity often points to something deeper that deserves attention and exploration." Therapist Pamela Garfield-Jaeger, LCSW, draws on years of experience to explain what really might be happening when a loved one says "I'm trans." Abortion in the Didache: forbidden by the Apostles
An oft-used argument of those desperate to justify abortion is that there is no mention of abortion in the Bible (which is not totally true). A good rebuttal to this flawed argument is that, while there is no actual use of the word "abortion" in the Bible, there is a specific ruling on abortion in the Didache, the first recorded early Church "catechism." Pope Leo: War is 'fed more easily' than the hungry
"The world today could live without hunger," but "conflicts are 'fed' more easily than people are nourished," Pope Leo XIV said when he visited the United Nations World Food Program, the world's largest humanitarian organization, on June 22. Lila Mozingo is a Reminder That People With Down Syndrome Have Tremendous Value

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

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 Steven Mosher
Restricting the abortion pill in the U.S. will save lives both at home and abroad. 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.

With advertisements bearing the slogan, "Life is Short. Have an Affair," AshleyMadison makes no attempt to hide what it is - a dating website for adulterous spouses. But plenty of research reveals that, clever marketing gimmicks aside, cheating is still a serious offense ending in divorce for many, many couples. Asia Human Rights
We wish to stop Nepal from the critical situation of entering into a civil war again because of institutional corruption another human rights abuses such as murder, rape and abductions. We therefore call on the international community and the Asian Human Rights Commission, to take note of the atrocious situation currently occurring in Nepal. Judie Brown
Douthat closed with these words, "This is the paradox of Americas unborn. No life is so desperately sought after, so hungrily desired, so carefully nurtured. And yet no life is so legally unprotected, and so frequently destroyed." Pilar Calva
The first event in the formation of an individual is precisely the encounter and fusion of these two highly-specialized cells: the mother's ovum and the father's spermatozoon. Shannon Roberts
In many cultures children have traditionally been expected to look after their elderly parents. I think it is lovely tradition that it would be a shame to lose. However, more and more elderly people are finding themselves working long past traditional retirement ages, largely because there are fewer and fewer children to support them. Marcus Roberts
There are good reasons to be grateful... Jeff J. Koloze
Baer's fictional account of a loss and rediscovery of faith would appeal to the "lost boys" in today's culture as much as the strength of the female characters would appeal to today's young women who have rejected the inordinate claims of a desacralized feminist movement. Baer's novel can help both genders to say with Bryce that they have "quite a bit to re-learn".

For the first time in history, by the year 2050 people over 60 will outnumber children under the age of 15. Is the world ready for this massive demographic change? A recently released United Nations report suggests not. Michael Cook
The Titanic sank after it collided with an unseen iceberg. Western societies with low birthrates are steaming straight towards an iceberg in broad daylight. But they refuse to change course. The problem is this. As birthrates drop, there are fewer and fewer productive workers and more and more unproductive elderly. The tax burden on the workers grows heavier and heavier. Pension funds will begin to run out of their reserves and benefits will shrink. The iceberg of a pensions crisis looms on the horizon in many countries. And there aren't enough lifeboats. Ryan T. Anderson
Our nation's legal elites think that the belief that marriage is the exclusive union of husband and wife is "bigotry akin to racism." That's a problem. And it explains the growing intolerance showed toward ordinary Americans who believe the truth about marriage.
