By Fr. Thomas G. Morrow: A Priest’s Advice on Building a Great Marriage

By Fr. Thomas G. Morrow, Catholic Exchange - A woman once told me, “I don’t love my husband anymore.”... I asked her, “Are you concerned for his good?”... “Yes,” she answered.... “Then you love him.”... “That’s the love you vowed when you married him. That’s the same kind of love we need to be saved. The Greek word for it is agape ... It sounds like you don’t like him. You don’t have to like your husband. But if you work hard for his good and try to make him happy as best you can, he just might become more likable. However, that shouldn’t be your primary motive. Your first motive should be to fulfill the vow you made before God to pursue his good.”

What Happens When Transgenderism Is No Longer Cool? Prosecutions, Hopefully, by Elle Purnell

By Elle Purnell, The Federalist - Laughing in the face of transgenderism’s propagandists is a fine start. It would be great to live in a society where full-grown men cosplaying as toddler girls are treated with deserved mockery instead of accommodation. Exposing (pardon the poor word choice!) the movement’s absurdity can help deter would-be victims from falling for it. Studies have shown that many young people, particularly young girls, face massive social incentives to adopt LGBT identities. Reversing those incentives would surely slow the mania.

Forget IVF, Here’s a More Ethical Way to Treat Fertility, by Katrina Trinko

By Katrina Trinko, LifeNews - Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy even warned Thursday that the low birth rate poses “a national security threat.”... “When my uncle was president, the fertility rate in this country was 3.5%,” he said. “Today it is 1.6%. The replacement rate—in other words, the amount of fertility that you need in order to keep your population even—is 2.1%. We are below replacement right now. That is a national security threat to our country.”... But while IVF, or in vitro fertilization, gets much of the attention for solutions for infertility, it’s not the only option.

Embryo Adoption Can’t be Used to Bypass Infertility, by Matthew McKenna

By Matthew McKenna, Catholic Exchange - Recently, one couple shared their story about discerning the morality of embryo adoption and their final decision to go through with it because they are otherwise infertile.  A significant portion of the article centers around the moral reasoning through which they determined that it was an acceptable choice.  Sadly, and despite their best efforts to find moral guidance, there are serious issues with their reasoning and interpretation of Magisterial teachings which have led them, and may lead others, astray.
