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."

When all is said and done, God has designed the procreative acts of parents as the best and most ethical way to bring children into the world. For those who are unable to conceive on their own, there are alternatives that do not include accepting babies created in petri dishes, filtered for flaws and discarded like trash.

The very rare cases when a pregnancy poses a genuine and immediate threat to the mother's life are a source of great confusion, especially among Catholics. It is absolutely true that the Catholic Church bans direct abortion in all cases. However, the mother's life may be saved by surgery that does not directly attack the preborn baby's life, even if the child may die as an indirect result of the procedure. This ethical principle is known as the principle of double effect. Patrick T. Brown
If democracy means anything, it should mean some ability to take a deep breath before we permit Silicon Valley to hack baby-making in the same way it has remade so many other facets of our lives. Antonio Lemos
The Church has a long tradition of generous care for migrants, while allowing room for legitimate regulation.

None of us can truly gauge the impact of our lives on others. This family had no idea how much good they were doing for me and my broken family just by the way they were living their lives. Somehow, their Catholic faith, their joy, their love, and their faithfulness overflowed and cascaded into my life via my son. Charles J. Chaput
America's founding documents assume an implicitly religious anthropology -- an idea of human nature, nature's God, and natural rights -- that many of our leaders no longer share. Adapted from testimony submitted to the United States Commission on Civil Rights.

Today, traditional Catholic values have been so much compromised that many Americans including Catholics view same sex marriage and homosexuality as morally acceptable. Many may quietly acknowledge the immorality of homosexuality while disproportionately sympathizing with the 'rights' of the homosexual, a matter which is not lost on the public. Michael Cook
We must not minimize the stress of caring for invalids, especially without help from family members or governments. It can exhaust and demoralise even a loving spouse. It is an indictment of a society that allows people to bear a burden like this without help. But making a plan to kill a sick relative is still murder. What else could it be? E. Christian Brugger

"To say the Eucharist is the 'source and summit of Christian spirituality' means at least two things. First, that Christian spirituality flows from the Eucharist as its source, the way light streams forth from the sun. And second, that Christian spirituality is supremely the Eucharist as its summit or high-point that to which all of our actions should ultimately be directed."

The priesthood is the last place we would expect to find a narcissist, that is, a person with a Narcissistic Personality Disorder, and it certainly ought to be the last place where we should actually find one.

All the science in the world does not answer the deepest questions of political importance. Pretending that questions of political priority are merely technical or scientific questions is the lie of modern times.
