Marriage Is a School of Love: Becoming the Right Person for Your Spouse
Marriage is one more school you need to graduate from - a school of love - except you will never graduate from marriage. There will always be new lessons to learn. Canada May Consider Euthanizing Disabled Newborn Babies
This past September several international media stories on Canada's MAiD program have re-ignited the baby MAiD debate. The British newspaper Daily Mail asked the CMQ for an update on its stance and was told the organization now believes "medical assistance in dying may be an appropriate treatment for babies suffering from extreme pain" and that "parents should have the opportunity to obtain this care for their infant." The FDA and the Dangers of Chemical Abortion
Audio recording of Dr. Ryan Anderson, President of the Ethics and Public Policy Center on the topic of dangers of chemical abortions. Debunking the Myth of the Transgender Child
Mia Hughes: "This devastating convergence of medical, political, and cultural forces ensured that countless innocent children--rather than being given the freedom to grow, mature, and explore different identities--were locked into a lifetime of medicalization, embodying an identity imposed on them before they were old enough to understand what was at stake."

The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has surged in recent years, with users of AI platforms now numbering in the billions around the globe. Despite this growth, little attention has been paid to how AI technologies may impact real human relationships. In particular, very little is known about how the emergence of AI relationship platforms that replicate romantic and sexual interactions may impact dating and marriage relationships, as well as the personal well-being of the users of these technologies. A deeper understanding of these trends is needed, as a recent IFS study recently found that 1 in 4 young adults think AI boyfriends and girlfriends could replace real-life romance. New Study Finds Lasting Effects of Divorce on Kids
The relationship between divorce and kids has always been a hot button in the discourse. That kids are affected by divorce is quite clear. But while the immediate effects of divorce go mostly undisputed, many doubt that divorce has a lasting impact into adulthood. Five Reasons Porn is Bad For Your Marriage
Viewing pornography has become one of the most common sexual behaviors among modern adults. Recent estimates suggest that anywhere from 50 to 70% of adult men and women view pornography on a regular basis. This has made pornography use an increasingly "normal" behavior and led many men and women and even some experts to question whether pornography use is really that big of a deal. The argument goes something like this, "How can something so common be harmful to relationships?" and "People in relationships who use porn often seem on the surface to be perfectly happy and healthy, so what's the big deal?"

Since the birth of the first "test-tube baby" in 1978, in vitro fertilization (IVF) has provided hope and a path to parenthood for many couples who cannot conceive naturally. The Catholic Church, however, has consistently rejected IVF - not out of hostility to suffering couples, but because of deeper beliefs about marriage, human life, and the dignity of the human person. The Church opposes IVF largely because the process usually creates multiple embryos in a laboratory. Some are implanted, but others are frozen, discarded, or destroyed. Since the Church views each embryo as a human life, this loss of embryos is considered morally unacceptable. The inherent dignity of a human person deserves full moral and legal respect and protection. The Church teaches that embryos must never be treated merely as a means to an end.

As I approach my eighty-sixth year, the twilight of life is bringing new challenges. Beyond the increasing aches and pains, psychological sufferings have come to the fore and demand greater attention than before, with loneliness the most prominent. In some societies this trend is starkly visible: for example, in Japan in 2025, people aged 65 and older make up nearly 30% of the population, and an estimated 70% of them report feelings of loneliness. What is loneliness? Even though it walks beside us, does it define who we are?

Holiness, unfortunately, is often confused with sanctimony, and sanctimony tends to get mixed in with perfectionism, which in turn is usually a means of shaming others - children in particular. But holiness is not perfectionism. Holiness is love; holiness is charity. Ann Farmer
In a post-Christian society, the revolution's message is pleasure without limits, but unlimited debauchery has led to diminishing returns, a reminder that the hungry man appreciates food more than the glutton; that the Victorian factory worker appreciated his annual day out at Blackpool more than modern man and woman enjoy their endless foreign vacations. However, according to sexual revolutionaries, the fall of man began with Christianity; consequently, humanity must return to a more civilized paganism. But although pre-Christian societies were highly sophisticated, so were their methods of torture and killing; their attitude to weakness was to trample on it. Angel Alvarado
The story of Maduro's extraction is not a tale of foreign intervention. It is a story of internal collapse, human suffering, and the eventual recognition - by Venezuelans and by the world - that a government cannot indefinitely destroy the lives of its citizens without facing consequences.

This article describes some of the recently published studies on the psychological and social effects of induced abortion. Many of these studies were on populations outside of the United States. The reason is because this is where the vast majority of research on the effects of induced abortion is being done at the present time. These studies are examples of the growing body of literature on the adverse psychological effects of induced abortion. Proclaim Sermons
This passage tells of a mission, given by Jesus to a large number of disciples. This is not the first formal mission of followers of Jesus. One has already been assigned and carried out earlier in Luke, by the 12 apostles. What we see here is a "progression in mission," from 12 apostles to 72 disciples, and on to us, today.

Fearmongering abounds about climate change. Doomsayers predict an environmental apocalypse. Exactly when and how this will unfold is "unclear" (media-speak for don't know). Back in 2021, the UN issued an environmental "code red for humanity". Climate change angst has fueled an anti-natalist movement to "save the planet" by not having children. Extreme? What else is new?

The Southern Poverty Law Center and other LGBT organizations seek to end civil rights for people with same-sex attractions who freely desire therapy rather than to continue in their current lifestyle. Equality in civil rights demands that no one should be unjustly stripped of their lawful, rightful access to effective therapies. *Offsite Article
On October 3rd, 2020, Pope Francis' new encyclical, "Fratelli Tutti," does something that some Catholics believed could not be done: It ratifies a change in church teaching. In this case, on the death penalty. In August 2, 2018, Pope Francis ordered a revision to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, updating it to describe the death penalty as "inadmissible" and an "attack on the inviolability and dignity of the person." In Evangelium Vitae, St. Pope John Paul II identified a contradiction in contemporary culture. "Precisely in an age when the inviolable rights of the person are solemnly proclaimed and the value of life is publicly affirmed," he lamented, "the very right to life is being denied or trampled upon, especially at the more significant moments of existence: the moment of birth and the moment of death."

Martin Luther taught that a baptized person remains a sinner, but Christ's justice is imputed to him as a coverup. Trent, in 1546, identified the novelty and refuted it.
