Joseph Ratzinger: After the separation between sexuality and motherhood was effected, sexuality was also separated from procreation. The movement, however, ended up going in an opposite direction: procreation without sexuality. Out of this follow the increasingly shocking medical-technical experiments so prevalent in our day where, precisely, procreation is independent of sexuality. Biological manipulation is striving to uncouple man from nature (the very existence of which is being disputed). There is an attempt to transform man, to manipulate him as one does every other ‘thing’: he is nothing but a product planned according to one’s pleasure.
(LifeSiteNews) — The abortion industry’s ugliest secret is that babies are regularly born alive after attempted abortions and left to die by the medical professionals who had just tried to kill them. There are frequent and documented examples of this in just the past several years in the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, and in Ireland, where abortion has only been legal since 2019. Now government data has confirmed that in New Zealand, babies are being born alive after attempted abortions at least once a month and, as is standard practice, are dying without being provided medical care. Abortion is legal on demand until 20 weeks of pregnancy and is frequently perpetrated afterwards if a doctor signs off that it is necessary for “health” reasons. “Family First New Zealand reported they were able to obtain government data after filing an official request, and discovered preborn children survive attempted abortions on a regular basis,” Live Action News reported. “Since …
(LifeSiteNews) — Oregon Right to Life (ORTL) scored a victory for the unborn last Friday when a three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled in its favor. In June, ORTL filed a complaint arguing that the Appeals Court should throw out a Clinton-appointed district judge’s ruling last year that denied its request to be exempt from a 2017 Oregon state law that would have forced it to pay for abortions and contraception. Lois Anderson, ORTL’s executive director, argued that covering abortions via health insurance was an attack on their religious liberty. “The attempt by the state to force Oregon Right to Life to finance abortion — the precise human rights violation we are dedicated to opposing — is blatantly unconstitutional and obviously unjust,” she said this past summer. Trump-appointed Circuit Judge Lawrence VanDyke wrote the 2-1 majority opinion for the Appeals Court. Obama-appointee Circuit Judge John Owens agreed with him that the case should …
Cardinal Kikuchi told UCA News he “cannot approve measures that may take human life without adequate moral education”. He added that while he understands this move as contributing to the respect and promotion of a “woman’s right to self-determination”, it remains essential to recognise that “life is a gift from God”.
This file picture shows a pharmacist putting a box of morning-after pills into a fertility control kit at a pharmacy in Tokyo. (Photo: AFP) Cardinal Isao Kikuchi of Tokyo has spoken out against the over-the-counter sale of an emergency contraceptive pill in Japan, allowing women in the country to take the medication without a prescription for the first time. The “switch to OTC [over-the-counter] use of the emergency contraceptive pill commercialized under the trademark Norlevo,” was announced by its manufacturer Aska Pharmaceutical in a statement on Oct. 20. The move marks a major policy shift in a country where access to birth control has long been restricted. A date for the pill to go on sale has yet to be announced, but women of any age can buy it, though they must take the pill in front of a trained pharmacist to ensure proper use and safety, the company said. Kikuchi told UCA News he “cannot approve measures that may take human life without adequate moral education,” although “…
The condemnation of abortion is an infallible doctrine of the Catholic Church with the same authority as all the Marian dogmas and the founding of the Catholic Church by Christ. There is nothing to discuss.
Bishop O’Connell voted against a 2021 document on Eucharistic coherence. He was one of 55 US bishops to do so because he thought it would lead to greater polarization.
Pope Leo XIV on October 20 appointed Monsignor Mark O’Connell as Bishop of Albany, New York, and accepted the resignation of Bishop Edward Scharfenberger. Born in 1964, in Scarborough, Ontario, Canada, Bishop O’Connell was ordained for Boston in 1990 and holds a Doctorate in Canon Law. He has served in parish, seminary, and diocesan tribunal roles. Francis appointed him auxiliary bishop of Boston in June 2016. Holy Communion to Pro-Abortion Politicians In July 2021, Bishop O’Connell voted against a U.S. bishops’ motion to draft a document linking reception of Holy Communion to public adherence to Church teaching. He said the proposal could be seen as a call to deny Communion to pro-abortion politicians, stating, “It is not up to me to deny anyone Holy Communion.” Speaking to CatholicNewsAgency.com, Bishop O’Connell added that the discussion focused “too heavily on abortion”. He suggested there were “more appropriate ways” to address then-President Biden. However, he did not elaborate …Mehr
Important for pro-life work or any other form of apostolate in which Catholics are involved: "Therefore, it is very important to recall frequently this great principle: the interior life is the soul of the apostolate. A deep interior life will generate intense love and intimate union with God, and, therefore, from it will spring a fruitful apostolate, a true sharing in Christ’s work of saving souls; on the other hand, a mediocre interior life can produce only a feeble love and union with God; hence, the resultant apostolate cannot have an efficacious influence on souls."

Uruguay’s Senate passed a euthanasia bill today that was previously passed in August in the Lower House. Sadly, Uruguay’s passed a euthanasia law that is similar to Canada’s law. According to the Associated Press article: The legislation permits euthanasia, performed by a healthcare professional, but not assisted suicide, which involves a patient self-administering a lethal dose of prescribed medication. Unlike laws in U.S. states, Australia and New Zealand restricting euthanasia to those with a life expectancy of no more than six months or a year, Uruguay sets no time limits. It also not does require a waiting period, and allows anyone suffering from an incurable illness that causes “unbearable suffering” to seek assisted death, even if their diagnosis is not terminal. Similar to Canada, the person who is killed is not required to be terminally ill and there is no waiting period, which means that once approved a person can have a same-day death. The Associated Press also reported …
Some, when they find themselves with child through their sin, use drugs to procure abortion, and when (as often happens) they die with their offspring, they enter the lower world laden with the guilt not only of adultery against Christ but also of suicide and child murder." ~St. Jerome
Women’s HealthIn Crisis. denied breast cancer surgery due to BMI. It’s a feeling of helplessness that Cherise Basque will never forget: bleeding out in a hospital surrounded by health-care professionals, who she says wouldn’t intervene. “It was heartbreaking because it felt like a nightmare,” she said. “You’re in a crowded room with all these professionals crying, begging for help, and nobody’s helping you.” When the mother of five found out she was pregnant with her sixth child, she was told by her family doctor it wouldn’t be safe to carry to term because her previous pregnancies had complications with bleeding and required medical intervention. About a month ago, Basque was provided with a medical abortion — a total of five pills that she would be able to take at home. But when she began bleeding excessively, she travelled from her home in Paqtnkek Mi’kmaw Nation to the emergency department at St. Martha’s Hospital in Antigonish, N.S. She recalls how she was bleeding through …
Really just a continuation of Ruth Bader Ginsberg's, "there were types of people we did not want to have too many of." It is called euthanasia/eugenics and it is still going on today.
Professor John Rist strongly criticizes Pope Leo XIV’s handling of abortion, particularly in relation to Cardinal Cupich’s proposal to honor pro-abortion Senator Dick Durbin. He argues that abortion lies at the core of left-liberal ideology, making it a fundamental issue for Catholic ethics and justice. Rist notes that Catholic bishops and even popes have long been ambiguous: while condemning abortion verbally, they often fail to act decisively against it, fearing backlash from media and elites who brand opponents as extremists. He points to Pope Francis as a model of this ambiguity—condemning abortion in words while befriending pro-abortion figures—and claims Pope Leo XIV is continuing this pattern. According to Rist, Leo’s recent silence and comments downplaying abortion as “one of many” moral issues amount to a refusal to confront its unique gravity. He sees this as a betrayal of pro-lifers, equating Leo’s stance with Pope Francis’s “Bergoglian” approach. Ultimately, Rist …Mehr
(LifeSiteNews) — Renowned Catholic professor John Rist shows that Pope Leo XIV, in his recent interview comments regarding the Durbin case, is “following in Bergoglio’s footsteps.” He even calls Pope Leo’s comments “shameful.” The American Pope, in September 30 comments to journalists, declined to criticize the fact that Cardinal Blase Cupich of Chicago had the intention of awarding Senator Dick Durbin even though this politician is a strong supporter of abortion. On the contrary, the Pope insisted that one has to look at a politician’s entire work and career, adding that there are other important issues he believes are contrary to life, such as anti-immigration sentiment and the death penalty. According to Rist, “when Cupich proposed to honor Senator Durbin, he remained silent while the dispute raged, then intervened in an exactly Bergoglian manner: we should put abortion in its context; there are other serious life issues. Thus he both finessed the seriousness of the deaths of …
In his statement yesterday, Cardinal Cupich quoted this from John Paul II: "...Is present-day America becoming less sensitive, less caring towards the poor, the weak, the stranger, the needy? It must not! Today, as before, the United States is called to be a hospitable society, a welcoming culture. If America were to turn in on itself, would this not be the beginning of the end of what constitutes the very essence of the ‘American experience’?” Cupich then added: "We need to listen to these prophetic words in this moment of our nation’s life." Compare to the full text of John Paul II's homily, which, in the next paragraph, says the following: "To a great extent, the story of America has been the story of long and difficult struggles to overcome the prejudices which excluded certain categories of people from a full share in the country's life: first, the struggle against religious intolerance, then the struggle against racial discrimination and in favor of civil rights for everyone. …Mehr
This is in response to the Pope who recently said: “Someone who says I’m against abortion but is in favor of the death penalty is not really pro-life,”
