What of the servicemen who have to fight in the wars their governments decide to wage? Do they have an obligation to make a moral judgment about these wars in light of just war criteria? The Parental Rights Paradox
"Teachers, counselors, doctors, and social workers all play valuable roles in children's lives. But they are not parents. They lack the lifelong attachment and responsibility that anchor parental authority. For that reason, American law traditionally resisted allowing outsiders to direct a child's upbringing. The presumption has long been that parents, not institutions, should guide a child's development." How Trans Ideology Demolishes Itself
Insights from the Paradox Institute's Cynthia Breheny: "Proponents of trans ideology will go so far as to claim that acknowledging sex is an erasure of someone's trans identity -- even saying something along the lines of acknowledging sex erases their very personhood. And that's where the primary contradiction of trans ideology lies: in order for it to be a groundbreaking revelation about humanity, it has to have ground to stand on - it has to rely on sex." New: IOC Policy Protects Female Sports
On Thursday, The International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced a new policy to protect the female (women's) category in Olympic sports. Eligibility for female sports will now be determined by a genetic test for the presence of the SRY gene, which triggers male sexual development and cannot change. The IOC policy is likely to have downstream positive effects on international federations and sports governing bodies. However, past Olympic medals awarded to males competing in female sports will not be rescinded. Americans Oppose Mail-Order Abortions That Kill Millions of Babies

Pope at Mass in Monaco: 'You are called to bear witness to living in peace'
During Mass in the Principality of Monaco, Pope Leo XIV urges everyone not to grow "accustomed to the clamor of weapons and images of war," and insists that the Church in Monaco is called to bear witness to living in peace. "Let us not grow accustomed to the clamor of weapons and images of war! Parental Rights Are a Cornerstone of American Law
Andrea Picciotti-Bayer: "If our institutions truly wish to strengthen justice, remove barriers, and end violence against women and girls, they should begin by recognizing the irreplaceable role of parents who are present, attentive, and committed to their daughters' well-being." Seen But Not Scrutinized: The Paradox Every Parent of a Teenager Needs to Understand
Stephanie Winn (LMFT) gives sound advice to parents: "I want to address something specific for parents of trans-identified kids. Many of you are in a situation where the only time your child shows strong emotion toward you is when pronouns come up or when something related to their trans identity is triggered. Outside of that, it's polite distance. And the polite distance feels safe enough that you don't want to rock the boat. So you pretend you didn't see the hostile look. You barrel past the moment. You keep things surface-level. I understand that instinct, but I want to challenge it." More Headlines…

There is a quiet change happening in our world. It is not loud, and many people do not notice it right away. But it matters. More and more, abortion is happening not in clinics, but at home, through pills. It is private, fast, and often done alone. I never imagined I would feel this deeply about something so often discussed in whispers, but headlines such as this, "Abortion Pills Now Kill 2/3 of All Babies Killed in Abortions," make it harder to ignore. Many people say the procedure is a good thing. They speak about freedom, control, and privacy. I understand why that sounds appealing. But as a Catholic, I cannot see it that way. For me, this is not just a social issue - it is spiritual. It raises more profound questions about life, truth, and what we believe about who we are.

Controversies are extremely prominent in the field of stem cell research, as scientists debate the different kinds and the varying benefits of each. Some stem cells are taken from adults or even from a mother's placenta. These are ethical sources. But some stem cells are taken from aborted embryos or from embryos created during IVF. We will explore why this is wrong, what the Catholic Church teaches on the subject of stem cell research, and what advancements have been made with a special kind of stem cell. Merlot Mary Fogarty
Can We Restore Hope in Women?s Healthcare? Change at all levels of healthcare, education, and policy need to be made to meet infertility upstream and to care for the health and well-being of women at all stages of life, including before they are trying to become mothers.

"Pro-life" is a controversial term among abortion advocates. Since pro-lifers advocate for the protection of human beings from the first moment of their creation, we are often called "forced birthers" or "anti-woman." We are told we care only about babies and not about the lives and well-being of their mothers. John Stonestreet

Abortion bans will expose women giving birth to "44 to 70 times higher than the mortality risk from abortion," according to a new study from the University of Maryland and Brown University.

It's only anecdotal evidence, but a BBC story from the Indian city of Chennai shows that surrogate mothers feel emotionally traumatized by the wrench of surrendering a child whom they have carried for nine months. The money they earn does not compensate them for this pain. There are a dozen or more clinics in Chennai which broker surrogate babies, employing about 150 surrogate mothers. Judie Brown
"Abortion is a lie" is a statement that was made in 1981 during a pro-life political action speech that my husband Paul was giving in Washington, DC. He was explaining how easily abortion had been mainstreamed into our society because of the language of "choice" and the idea of personal reproductive freedom, both of which he said fed on the lies surrounding abortion. Marcus Roberts
Just to stir last week's debate re "population explosion" some more, how about we have a look at the views of Robert Newman writing in the Guardian. His claim is that there is no population explosion and that any problems about the scarcity of resources are because of politics and not because of too many people. Kurt Mahlburg

The priest, who is called to Christ's side to be his chosen friend, participates in this priestly function of dedicating the universe to God. Like Christ, the priest is consecrated - set aside from secular purposes - to live the cosmic consecration to God.

New contraceptive options were supposed to bring huge improvements to "reproductive health." Their proponents looked forward to a day when STIs and accidental pregnancies were a thing of the past. It's time to admit that hormonal birth control and condoms aren't going to get us there.

Is it ethical to kill fellow soldiers in wartime to ward off worse suffering? If that's confusing, how about wounded enemy soldiers? Shenan J. Boquet
Porn is something that many people are reluctant to talk about. It makes us uncomfortable. Sometimes we don't want to talk about it because it's embarrassing. Or it's embarrassing to our children. But, with the prevalence of porn and the ease with which kids can access it, these are conversations we must have in order to protect our children.

Against the failed hopes of the Enlightenment, scientism, and modernism, Josef Pieper calls us to embrace a hope that transcends the physical and political world. Judie Brown
Senator Tim Kaine has been nominated for the position of vice president of the United States. As a nonprofit educational organization, ALL does not comment for or against any political candidate. But, as a Catholic organization, we do comment on any candidate who claims to be a faithful Catholic and publicly acts contrary to the teachings of the Church. This commentary is intended to call on Senator Kaine to obey Canon 916 and on all bishops and priests to obey Canon 915.
