For a Life-Affirming Consensus
EPPC's Catholic Women's Forum

Dozens of Catholic women who are medical professionals—doctors, physician assistants, mental health counselors, nurses, and nurse-midwives—affirmed their support for Catholic teaching on abortion in a newly-released statement that responds to the “open letter” on “reproductive justice” previously released by the advocacy group, Faith in Public Life.

In the statement released May 4, 2023, the Catholic medical experts urged those who signed the Faith and Public Life statement to “follow the science,” highlighting how their combined years of experience treating and caring for women and children had only strengthened their support for the Catholic Church’s “unchanged and unchangeable” teaching on abortion.

Brad Littlejohn writes for WORLD Opinions about "something curious about today’s culture wars: Both sides seem to think they are losing."

Also for WORLD, "Catastrophic rhetoric is dumbing down the culture," warns Carl Trueman.

And for Fairer Disputations, Carl reviews a new book by British author Mary Harrington, Feminism Against Progress.

And at Public Discourse, you can read Alexandra DeSanctis' comments from a panel with Harrington last week.

In his column this week, George Weigel writes about the movement to beatify Henri de Lubac, one of the central theologians of the Second Vatican Council.

Steve White writes for The Catholic Thing about Saint Joseph as an exemplar for men and fathers.
