By Steven Ertelt, LifeNews - Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion company, is expanding its reach into selling trans hormones by instructing teenagers on evading parental consent and medical safeguards... That’s according to a recent workshop exposed by critics who warn it endangers vulnerable youth. The abortion organization, which operates nearly 600 centers nationwide, has positioned itself as the leading seller of cross-sex hormones for so-called gender transitions, treating 40,000 patients last year alone, with 40% aged 18 to 22.

By Matthew McDonald, The National Catholic Register - Toledo Bishop Daniel Thomas’ new document ‘The Body Reveals the Person’ rejects gender transitioning, but not the gender transitioner... Attempting to change gender is “medically assisted self-harm” and should be rejected, but people experiencing pain over gender identity should know that God loves them and wants to bring them to himself through their sufferings, an Ohio bishop says in a new document.

By Thomas Gallatin, Patriot Post - When tragedy strikes, the most appropriate initial response is to pray. It’s an acknowledgement of our finiteness and reality that ultimately only God is truly in control; only God is sovereign over everything... It was and is fitting for us to pray, to call on God, after this most recent atrocity, the assassination of Charlie Kirk. Indeed, given that he was an outspoken Christian, that is precisely the response Kirk would have wanted.

Fr. Gerald E. Murray, National Catholic Register - In his new book, Building a Bridge: How the Catholic Church and the LGBT Community Can Enter Into a Relationship of Respect, Compassion and Sensitivity (HarperCollins), Jesuit Father James Martin has written a critique of the Catholic Church’s dealings with what he calls the “the LGBT community.”... What is the “LGBT community”? This acronym describes three groups of people: those who engage in, or feel drawn to engage in, homosexual activity (lesbians and gays); those who engage in, or feel drawn to engage in, both heterosexual and homosexual activity (bisexuals); and those persons who reject their sexual identity and think that they are in fact a member of the opposite sex (transsexuals/transgendered persons)... Is this, in fact, a community? Not really.
