The father of Alfie Evans met late Wednesday with Pope Francis at the Vatican and asked him to help speak out on behalf of his son’s life. Alfie’s parents are currently embroiled in a massive legal battle against Alder Hey Children’s Hospital that claims Alfie’s medical condition is too far gone and is threatening to remove his life support over his parents’ objection. Alfie’s parents have lost their battle at every court level, as judges have sided with the hospital and its decision to remove Alfie’s life support despite their desire to provide him appropriate medical care and treatment and…

DIVORCE….Why not?
1. Divorce in the Philippines is not legal but it looks like there are more couples getting an annulment. Isn’t this enough reason to legalize divorce?

The media loves to elaborate on the details but no one seems to be paying attention to the millions of good marriages around, which do not see print. In Defense of Marriage: Why is divorce no good? 2. The Philippines is…

Whatever I do in my marriage, the circle keeps increasing, keeps widening, until it covers the whole world. Marriage is beyond us. It’s about the society. It is your own project for the world. Ify’s statement is pure gold, displaying immense truth and…

CBCP STATEMENT ON THE DIVORCE BILL
The fact that we’re one of the last few countries without a divorce law until now speaks volumes about us as a nation. No doubt, those who associate divorce with being progressive would laud our legislators who are currently raring to pass a divorce bill in Congress. With due respect to them, we beg them to make room for more reasoned debates on the issue. Since they act as representatives of the people who elected them in office, we humbly suggest that they submit their personal opinions to a further consultation with their constituents. Perhaps they can also consult experts…

MANILA – A few days before Valentine’s Day, young people will be giving away candy not just to promote true, chaste love but to speak up against pornography, what many consider an “enemy of true, self-giving love.” “Porn is the enemy of true love because the end point of porn is almost always masturbation, or self-pleasuring, while love needs both men and women, but especially the men, to be selfless and to…
