Christianity in China remains under systematic pressure even after this week’s release of Pastor Ezra Jin, a house church leader who spent more than 266 days in a Chinese prison for practicing his faith, according to a Washington-based nonpartisan policy institute.
Jin’s release came weeks after President Donald Trump raised his case with Chinese leader Xi Jinping. The move was “a carefully calibrated political decision” rather than a change in Beijing’s underlying approach, according to Foundation for Defense of Democracies research analyst Mariam Wahba.

The Herald Sun reported on Nagappa’s scandal, which seemingly became public after a Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal hearing, in which he was found guilty of three counts of professional misconduct.
Nagappa and the patient, who was not named, were in contact between 2016 and 2020. According to the Australian Medical Board, the woman was his patient first, and though she was known to be addicted to amphetamines, as well as financially insecure, Nagappa still prescribed her addictive drugs, such as diazepam and oxycodone, without there being any medical reason to do so. Additionally, he began paying her for sex, making 548 payments totaling $119,000.

Love thrives in the ordinary, not the extraordinary
Relationships don’t live or die from the major events that happen in our lives. They thrive or dissolve on a series of Tuesday afternoons.
I like to talk to my clients about Tuesdays, because they are the days that no one remembers.
We remember the outliers: the proposal, the wedding, the birth of a child, the special vacations. We also remember the devastating argument when someone mentioned breaking up, the day our partner wasn’t there for us when we desperately needed them, or the moment we wondered if our relationship would survive. Those moments matter. They shape us. They deserve our attention.

Sustained declining fertility violates God’s first command to humanity to not only be fruitful and have children, but to actually multiply – to have more children than the couple themselves. A demographic truism is that a population that is not moderately multiplying is slowly dying. That is the present fact of global fertility.
Leading UPenn demographer Jesús Fernández-Villaverde has explained, “Humanity has entered a new era of rapid population decline.” He adds, “If we are unable to address our fertility crisis, the US will face an existential economic crisis driven by a steep decline in fertility rates – one that could have an impact measured in the quadrillions of dollars.”

This November, Virginians will be presented with two monumental questions on their voter ballots that directly impact the respect for human life and family within the commonwealth. The first question asks Virginians if they want abortion to be enshrined as a “right” in the state’s constitution. The second question asks Virginians if they want to redefine marriage in Virginia’s constitution from the current language that states that marriage is a union between one man and one woman to a “right” between two consenting adults, regardless of sex and gender. What is proposed in both amendments is radical and troubling for a multitude of reasons, but most especially for Catholics.

When Hank Williams recorded “Your Cheatin’ Heart” in 1953, it was one of those songs that inspired you to stop and listen because his voice matched the melancholy of the lyrics. My dad loved that song, and he strummed his guitar as he sang along with Hank.
