Called to Be Counter-Cultural
The greatest danger the Church faces is not just hostility from outside, but compromise from within. The Church loses its saltiness not when it is persecuted, but when it becomes indistinguishable from everything around it. Our witness is only credible when our communities actually live what we proclaim: when Christians are known by their love, their honesty, their care for the poor, and their joy.

UCLA Caught Buying Aborted Baby Parts, Altering Paperwork to Hide It
Liberty Counsel Founder and Chairman Mat Staver said, "The fetal organ harvesting business murders innocent babies for profit. These public records obtained by the Center for Medical Progress show that the work must continue to expose these heinous acts by these abortionists, harvesters, researchers, universities, and companies. The barbaric slaughter of babies for profit must stop."

The Moral Problem With IVF: Human Beings Aren't Property

Hospitals Profited From Harmful Surgeries on Minors

"Give Them Something to Eat": The Hungry Children of Asia

Who are the Poor? It is difficult for me to look at a photograph of a hungry child and simply turn the page. Perhaps it is because I have spent so many years working with young people at Kochi University and traveling across Asia to share the pro-life message. When you look into the face of a child who does not have enough to eat, hunger is no longer just a statistic. It has a face. It is a little boy or girl who is hungry today and whose parents may not know where tomorrow's food will come from. How many children worldwide suffer from hunger? The numbers are staggering. According to the latest estimates from UNICEF, the World Health Organization, and the World Bank, 42.8 million children under five... Continue reading at Fr. Jerry's Blog...

Ethical Perspectives

New! AI, Automation, and the Meaning of Work

Jordan J. Ballor
Abuse is no argument against proper use. But AI's challenges and opportunities are bound up with identifying the scale and scope of proper use as well as the consequences of abuse, and how to distinguish one from another.

Toward an Understanding of Suicide

Ronald Rolheiser
Every year I try to write an article on suicide because it is perhaps the most misunderstood of all deaths and it wreaks a unique havoc among the family and the loved ones left behind.

New! Love My Neighbour - and My Enemy?

Ann Farmer
Today, despite the progressive emphasis on a multiplicity of 'communities', there is less community feeling than ever before. If not for this progressive policy of 'divide and rule', our own times might be just as neighbourly as in the past, when we were encouraged to prize what we had in common rather than dwelling on our differences.

New! The Death Spiral Continues: France Legalizes Euthanasia

Shenan J. Boquet
The new law permits an adult to request death if he or she is a French citizen or stable legal resident, suffers from a serious and incurable illness that is advanced and life-threatening, experiences physical or psychological suffering deemed unbearable or resistant to treatment, and is judged capable of making a free and informed decision.

The Peace in the Storm Project: Ministering to Caregivers and Those Suffering from Chronic Pain and Illness

Lori Hadacek Chaplin
Understanding that both the suffering and their caregivers experience loneliness and isolation, a new Catholic ministry called The Peace in the Storm Project aims to accompany them both to help foster faith, fellowship, and peace. The project, founded in 2023 by Catholic author Maureen Pratt, is available to dioceses, parishes, and individuals.

East Asian islands of fertility: Okinawa and, amazingly, North Korea

William Huang
When the champions of human rights promote rights that are not grounded in natural law, they undermine their credibility to speak for all human beings. Those who understand the truth about human rights - as every rational person has the capacity to do - will cease to trust the human rights community.

Cyberbullying in Japan: A Growing Emergency

*Offsite Article
I'm a third-year junior high student in Japan. My name is Aoi. Every morning I wake up and check my phone before I get out of bed. I use LINE to talk to my classmates, Instagram to see pictures, and occasionally Twitter when I want to see what people are saying about school or shows. I like being connected - it helps me stay close to friends and know what's happening. But sometimes the messages and posts don't feel friendly. On one occasion, an individual posted derogatory comments about a girl in our class. People started replying and laughing. It spread quickly, and the girl looked hurt and stopped going to club activities. On another occasion, a classmate created a fake media profile mocking a shy 13-year-old boy, posted altered photos, and spread false rumors. The boy withdrew from his friends, missed school, and developed anxiety. These incidents show how online behavior can hurt people's feelings, change their daily lives, or even lead to suicide.

India: Acquittal of Pramod Muthalik and others is a shocking travesty of justice

Asia Human Rights
The incident, which took place on January 24, 2009, involved women being slapped and dragged out from the pub by their hair; the assailants, who were allegedly members of the group, also verbally abused the women as "loose". The assault was captured on camera, and the existence of video evidence was considered as irrefutable proof of the accused's guilt.

Pornography and the Attack on the Living Temple of God

Official Documents
We stand at a threshold - either we can continue to allow this plague to spread with fewer and fewer checks, or we can take concrete steps to uproot it in our lives, our families, our neighborhoods and our culture. A free people can combat the tremendous moral, social and spiritual danger of pornography with great courage. My fervent prayer is that Catholics, other Christians, and all people of good will understand this threat, confront it, facilitate true healing, and ever more fully live out our God - given use of human sight.

Ethical Treatment after Rape

While I fully agree with the Catholic Church's teaching against abortion, what is the moral teaching regarding the rape of a woman and the treatment of rape?

The Biggest Lie Yet!

*Offsite Article
Think of a little unborn child fighting for life in its mother's womb. A beautiful scene of God's creation- the growing process. Then consider the biggest lie to hit the news in the previous presidential race. Hillary Clinton stating publicly that babies are people but don't have human rights. What? "The unborn person doesn't have constitutional rights," she said. Having conceded that pregnant mothers are carrying the life of another person, she did not feel obligated to protect that life.

Diabolical Language of an Abortion Disciple

Nancy Pelosi, grand dame of the pro-aborts in Congress, recently shepherded a new bill through Congress known as the Equality Act.
