By the end of the 20th century there had been a veritable deluge of philosophical essays and books about children’s rights, adultery, family violence, the ethics of divorce, the limits of state intervention in the family, gay marriage, filial duties, and the right to have and raise children.

While sorting through the past 45 years of my own research and writing about family law and family ethics, I discovered that most of it fits into one of four thematic areas: children’s ...

Kant published this work in 1795, during the aftermath of the American Revolution and the French Revolution. The high hopes of the European Enlightenment had been dampened by the Reign of Terror in which tens of thousands of people died, and the perpetual cycle of war and temporary armistice seemed to be inescapable. Kant's essay is best known as an early articulation of the idea of a league of nations that could bring an end to all hostilities. Today, the United Nations continues to pursue that dream, but lasting peace still seems to be wishful thinking.

Written ...

Why does salvation begin with embryonic human children? Because this is where God began – both in the case of Mary’s Immaculate Conception and in the Incarnation of the Son of God. So we are following the initiative of God Himself who, having thought of us from all eternity, longs to bring each one of us to give glory to God for calling us to exist in relationship to Him and to others. And, just as St. John XXIII said that human life is sacred because of the action of God, so all these different, glowing, golden threads, show that God seeks us before we are born. And, therefore, we are ...

A wound is a rupture of a person’s physical and/or spiritual integrity, and a wound that remains open cannot heal. The gender ideologue surgeon’s experimental cut that creates a facsimile organ opposite to a person’s sex is, in reality, the deliberate opening and maintenance of a wound. This reflects the broader trajectory of gender ideology, whether expressed through name changes, invented pronouns, or a chemically and surgically altered appearance. As we will see in this book, interpreting studies on transgenderism requires realism: the apparent rise in youth identifying as ...
