Ireland is experiencing a demographic catastrophe
Due mainly to Covid-19, Ireland saw a significant drop in the number of births in the second quarter of this year compared with the same period last year. At 14.6pc, it was the second biggest fall in Europe, and would have been even worse were it not for the number of non-Irish nationals having...

A harsh light is shone on the fertility industry
The fertility industry has often been like the Wild West, totally unregulated with doctors often abusing their power and the hopes of people to bring children into the world with little or no knowledge of their natural origins. The Guardian newspaper has a long article which lists many of the...

Once Euthanasia Is Introduced, The Grounds Always Expand
Laws allowing the direct (euthanasia) or indirect (assisted suicide) killing of a patient by doctors are rare in the world. They only exist in six countries, in one Australian state and in nine US states. Nonetheless, in all those places we see a common pattern: legislation is initially…

A New Vatican Document Firmly Condems Assisted Suicide And Euthanasia
The Vatican has published a new document decrying euthanasia. It is very timely as an assisted suicide bill currently before the Dáil. The document describes euthanasia as “an intrinsically evil act, in every situation or circumstance”, as it directly causes the death of an innocent human being.…

Why Leading Doctors Oppose Assisted Suicide
The last time when assisted suicide was discussed in Leinster House, three years ago, some of the strongest opposition came from the members of the medical profession and disability advocacy groups. It’s worth recalling what they said because it is still completely relevant.

Assisted Suicide Bill Is Fatally Flawed
The debate about assisted suicide is heating up in Ireland.

Growing Support Among Doctors For Infanticide
The vast majority of pro-abortion doctors working in neo-natal units in Flanders, Belgium, support being allowed to kill a newborn baby if it has a serious disability. This can only be described as a further descent into barbarism as the culture of death strengthens its grip in that country.

A Debate On How To Tackle A Shrinking Population Is Long Overdue
The world population will peak and then decline by the end of this century, according to a new study. Countries with low fertility rates will suffer economically. We are running out of options to stop this "demographic winter".

Do restrictive abortion laws reduce abortion rates?
A new study claims that more restrictive abortion laws do not reduce the incidence of abortion. In fact, the opposite may be the case, it says. If true, this would be a big blow to the pro-life movement which obviously fights for more restrictive laws. But a closer look at the study shows no such...

Two Victories For Religious Freedom
Does a religious school have the right to employ only staff who will uphold the school’s ethos? Should a religious employer be forced to pay for contraception and the ‘morning-after pill’? In two separate rulings considering these matters, the US Supreme Court has ruled in favour of religious...

The Religious Will Inherit The Earth
Demographic trends are increasingly showing that it is the religious, not the secular, who will inherit the Earth. This is very different to the popular impression.

The failure to protect our nursing homes
Something went very wrong with Ireland’s Covid-19 policy for nursing homes. Five months from the beginning of the Coronavirus crisis, the failure of the health authorities to properly protect the care homes has become evident. It is now seems clearer than ever that the needs of nursing homes and...

Marriage In Ireland Continues To Decline

6666 abortions performed in Ireland last year
We now know how many women had an abortion in Ireland last year; 6666. If you add in the 375 women who went to England for an abortion in 2019, despite our new law, it adds up to 7,041, a horrible figure. The official figures were published today. If we allow for (a high estimate) that about 5000...

Programme For Government Will Ban Pro - Life Vigils Outside Hospitals
The newly agreed Programme for Government includes a commitment to impose ‘exclusion zones’ which would stop even silent pro-life vigils outside hospitals and GP surgeries where abortions take place or are facilitated. This is an extreme measure and, as a national law, would be unique in Europe....

Safety Above All Things Is Not A Christian Virtue
The Christian world view never equates the good life with self-preservation and excessive risk aversion. Obviously, in the face of a real threat, we have to respond with prudence and respect the gift of life but, on the other hand, the accomplishment of the good requires a certain inevitable risk...

How Religious Sisters Are The Real Founders Of Modern Nursing
We suffer from a big case of historical amnesia when it comes to the massive and positive Christian contribution to society down the ages. We are deluged by news of scandals, but the good news is left out. Recently, for example, we celebrated International Nurses’ Day, which coincides with the...

Ethical Questions In A Pandemic
Why do we need a debate about ethics now? In the current exceptional circumstances, it seems that many decisions are not free choices, but they are rather dictated by necessity. Nonetheless, practical deliberations are always inspired by values. Either consciously or unconsciously, we all operate...
