Why Americans Are Falling Out of Love with LGBT 'Pride'

AI, Faith, and the Future: Becoming the Person God Created You to Be in a Digital World

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

New! Walking with and Understanding Your Gender-Confused Child

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.

New! Compassion and Love Can Prevent Euthanasia

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.

Against False Technological Necessity

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.

Imperfect Pro-Life Lawmaking in Post-Dobbs America

Stephen G. Gilles
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.

Magnifica Humanitas: On Safeguarding the Human Person in the Time of Artificial Intelligence

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.

Demagoguery Leads to Loss of Freedom

Judie Brown
Addressing the fact that many Catholic politicians openly support abortion, writer and FOX news analyst, Bill O'Reilly, challenged Church authorities to stop remaining silent on the matter. Today's commentary addresses some of the recent comments made by Catholic women in politics and cautions us about continuing down this path - for it is a path that could possibly lead to our downfall.

The Ten Commandments
A Concise Summary for High School Students

Douglas McManaman
The Ten Commandments in the Torah (Exodus 20) are a formulation of the basic precepts (moral principles) of morality. Jews and Christians believe they were revealed by God to Moses, but to understand the content of those precepts does not require the supernatural virtue of faith as such, but are understandable through the natural light of human reaso

Evil is all in the brain. Or is it?

Michael Cook
After 3000 years of speculation, a German neurologist has finally located the source of evil. Well, at least Das Bild says he has.

Europe's Demographic Winter

Steven Mosher

How Kids Change Dad

John Stonestreet
While the loudest voices in our culture continue to insist that men and women are interchangeable, science is offering more evidence than ever that the two sexes are anything but interchangeable.

Are Americans rediscovering marriage?

Louis T. March
One of the hallmarks of American exceptionalism, sad to say, is the US leads the world for children reared in single-parent households. For that dubious distinction we can in part thank President Lyndon Johnson. He turned loose a pack of "pointy-head college professors who can't even park a bicycle straight" (per Gov. George Wallace) who had a field day experimenting on America's downtrodden. Seems those 'best and brightest' didn't have a clue about welfare dependency

Sicko! The man whose business is selling adultery. Will anyone stop him?

Carolyn Moynihan
The media has been full of protestations of anguish for the young victims of clerical sexual abusers lately. And rightly so. But think about this: a man whose online business has the sole purpose of facilitating adultery claims to have 5.5 million members. How many child victims of divorce does that involve?

India: Officers like Leetul Gogoi are the real threat to national security

Asia Human Rights
Exonerating, and often awarding officers who have committed serious crimes is not new in India.

Cloning: Legal, Medical, Ethical, and Social Issues
The Immediate Product of Human Cloning is a Human Being: Claims to the Contrary are Scientifically Wrong.

Dianne N. Irving
Public policy, I would think, should be based on accurate science. Scientifically we know that the immediate product of human cloning is an already existing, unique, individual, human being - the single cell human embryo - regardless of whether it is implanted or not. It is not a potential or possible human being or human embryo, nor is it a "pre-embryo; nor is it a drug. These are the correct scientific facts. Thus human cloning research essentially involves destructive human embryo research. Since research using and commercialization of human cloning uses human beings solely as illegitimate means to some one else's ends (no matter how lofty those ends), necessarily harming and destroying them, such research and commercialization is unethical, and should be totally banned.

Lack of knowledge KILLED three of my babies

Judie Brown
In 1973, at age 33, I was happily married and had three young children, but we wanted to wait a while before trying for another baby. So, I went to my obstetrician-gynecologist for help in postponing pregnancy, and he "helped" me by inserting an intrauterine device. He did not explain to me that the IUD's sole purpose is to prevent the embryonic baby from implanting in the womb and that the IUD almost always causes the death of a developing boy or girl through early abortion.
