Children among the dead as heavy rains flood tents and shelters in Gaza
An infant reportedly drowned and five Gazans were killed - including three children - when a sand dune collapsed on their tents as the first heavy rains swept across the enclave at the weekend, according to the UN aid coordination office (OCHA). Keep men out of the Hampstead ladies' pond
A group of women stood outside the Royal Courts of Justice in London in their bathing suits last week. Their aim? To remind the public that men are still allowed to swim in Hampstead Heath's Kenwood Ladies' Pond, despite a landmark Supreme Court ruling that should have put an end to that. It was a brilliant publicity stunt. My first thought when I saw the photograph was: good for them, but they must be freezing. My second was: why should they have to? The gift of adoption: One mother's love can change two families forever
Imagine how we could build up families if more organizations were to encourage every abortion-minded mom to choose adoption instead of death for her child. Pope Leo XIV Addresses Gender Ideology
Human life does not begin in a vacuum. It is born of the love between a man and a woman who, giving themselves to one another, open themselves to the gift of a new life. A child is the fruit of this communion, not a product, and from the very beginning bears within the mark of the relationship of origin. This most fragile beginning is nurtured in the mother's womb, the first place of welcome, where the initial bond becomes closeness and protection. According to the Creator's plan, the human person is conceived and grows within this web of relationships. Thus, the dignity of nascent life finds its proper place in the family. Some Facts, For a Change, About Climate Change
A fresh challenge to conventional climate-change thinking examines ocean temperatures, atmospheric energy flows and historical climate patterns, questioning the science behind catastrophic warming predictions. What Killed Off Newspapers Is Killing Your Parish
If you lived in the age of newspapers, then you probably have memories of reading them regularly, even if it was just the Sunday comics. Flash forward to today and we have had a sharp decline in the number of newspapers that still operate. In fact, nearly 40% of all U.S. newspapers have closed in the past 20 years. Some may say the internet killed newspapers, but that isn't the full story. What killed most newspapers is they forgot their mission and confused it with their method. Beneath the Surface: Exposing the Abortion Pill Drug Cartel
This report seeks to expose the abortion pill drug cartel and prove there is no such thing as an abortion-free state in the US (Appendix IV). It also seeks to detail other more conventional methods of obtaining these pills. Finally, the report will shed light on the lack of action for this crisis, leaving us to ask: Why are state and local governments turning a blind eye to baby killing? Pope on AI: Decisions affecting human life must never be delegated
Addressing participants in a meeting dedicated to AI, Pope Leo stresses the importance of keeping the human person at the heart of this technology to avoid the danger of threatening the common good and reducing people to data points. Ukraine: WFP provides hot meals to Oleshky evacuees as UN pushes to restore power before winter
The UN World Food Programme (WFP) is providing emergency food assistance to more than 400 people who were able to leave the Russian-occupied city of Oleshky, in Ukraine's Kherson region, during a brief local ceasefire. Who Are the Groups Fighting to Mutilate Children and Keep Boys in Girls Sports?
Most adult Americans oppose mutilating and sterilizing children who struggle with sexual identity confusion, and they also know it's wrong to allow boys and men to invade girls and women's sports, showers, locker rooms and restrooms. But a well-funded, extremist coalition of groups - including LGBT activists, pro-abortionists, teachers unions, leftist legal groups and environmentalists - support harming children and denying girls equal opportunities.

Editorial
Sometimes, in the busyness of our daily lives, we forget the beautiful moment when we first said, "Yes" to God. For those of us who have spent many years following Christ, that little word has taken us on a journey we could never have imagined. During a recent four-day retreat, the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate in Japan and Korea were invited to rediscover that first "Yes," to reflect on God's faithfulness through the years, and to renew our commitment to His mission. I invite you to join us on this spiritual journey through eight reflections that remind us of something deeply personal: God took our "Yes" very seriously, and He continues to do so today. This message reaches far beyond our Oblate family. Every Christian is invited to listen to God's call and respond with trust.

Hate isn't the opposite of love; indifference is. Hate is love gone wrong, and how easily that happens.

Hatred of Jews in the West has not stemmed from any peculiar moral trait of all Jews or all gentiles, but from the complicated vicissitudes of man's history and his mysterious relationship with evil. Michael Cook
The first reported case of euthanasia under the Netherlands' expanded rules for children under 12 has reignited ethical concerns about disability, suffering and the protection of vulnerable lives. Stefan McDaniel
At this critical time, we have lost our knowledge of what it means to be human. Only if we can regain this knowledge can we hope to find our place in the world and mature into confident and fulfilled human beings. Antonio Lemos
To what extent can migration be legitimately regulated and enforced, and under what circumstances may migrants already residing within a country be returned to their place of origin?

For decades the Indian government has been encouraging women to be voluntarily sterilized - and they have coopted state and local governments to help persuade the women. Tom Bartolomeo
The problem today we will do nearly anything to avoid a confrontation or argument. 'Play nice', we are told, like small children, compromise, negotiate and keep the peace at any cost sacrificing even the Gospel. We become so accustomed to evil it hardly moves us. Is religious liberty more important, for example, than religion, a right relationship with our government rather than a right relationship with God? The First International Congress of the Histopathology of the Nervous System took place in Rome in 1952. The ethical questions to which the clinical experimentation of those years gave rise were a cause of grave concern to many doctors, to the point that the organizers asked the Pope to make a pronouncement on the moral limits of biomedical research.

A new report from the Dartmouth Atlas Project finds that although the use of hospice care for Medicare patients with advanced cancer is increasing, many patients do not receive it until they are literally on their deathbed, within three days of the end of life. Michael Cook

To try to portray abortion as a positive empowerment for women, Planned Parenthood has tried various campaigns to increase abortion support and activism. Now Planned Parenthood has another strategy for increasing abortion support and activism originally published in MS Magazine on 4/12/2022 and titled "A Firsthand View of the Crisis Ahead for Abortion Rights - and What We Should Do About It" Dianne N.

Either you're Catholic or you're not Catholic. And if one is not Catholic or is Catholic but doesn't know Catholic teachings or dissents from them, then how does one even know how to teach and administer accurately and objectively what the Catholic Church teaches and requires? Given the noted propensities of the CP report, and the reality of GU as a Pontifical Faculty of the Roman Catholic Church, Georgetown University has some hard choices to make. They really can't have it both ways.

The results of New Zealand's first census in seven years (it is usually every five years but was postponed due to the Christchurch earthquake) have been awaited with anticipation for some time now. The results show a significant shift in population from the provinces to the country's largest city, Auckland. Carolyn Moynihan
A rebellion against transgenderism has broken out on the hugely popular British parenting website Mumsnet after some users were banned for "misgendering" and "transphobia" in referring to certain persons, it seems. A UK parenting website has to give 'transphobists' a say. Steven Mosher
The proportion of India's population 65 or over will go from 5% today to 15% by 2050. The imbalance between boys and girls in India is increasing as Indian couples abort female infants in the womb in order to have more desirable boys without going over their two-child quota. Though sex-selective abortion is illegal in India, it's rarely prosecuted and widely acknowledged to be prevalent.
