Pro-Life

By Dr. Jeff Mirus, Catholic Culture - Many couples do not want to have children nowadays, having been conditioned by the psychoses of a society which fears the restriction of our ability to exercise the fullest possible autonomy. I wish more of those who have gone down this essentially barren path would write honestly about their sense of emptiness as they age. Of course, this wish does not imply that everyone is called to marriage and family. A vocation, to be discerned well, must be discerned in prayer.

By Matt Lamb, LifeSiteNews - In vitro fertilization (IVF) is “unjust and morally wrong” and promotes eugenics, according to Arlington Bishop Michael Burbidge... The Virginia prelate recently released a pastoral letter titled ‘The Christian Family, In Vitro Fertilization, and Heroic Witness to True Love.”... Bishop Burbidge noted that infertility is a difficult topic and urges his flock to “proceed with care.”... “Whether or not we are aware of it, we know or encounter others who have experienced fertility challenges or whose lives have been affected by IVF in some way,” the bishop wrote in his Jan. 22 letter.
