Kathleen Gilbert and I attended our first ever Pontifical Academy for Life Assembly in Rome last weekend. We did not expect all the controversy that occurred which you will read about in Kathleen’s Wednesday report. The conference held much promise regarding the growing problem of infertility in both the developing and developed world.
However, something went very wrong last weekend, as has happened a number of times in the past few years with the PAV due to decisions by its clergy leadership. Hopefully, our report will help Vatican authorities to finally end these recurring problems within this much needed Academy initiated by Pope John Paul II that deals with the all-important life issues.
Note that we have added an interesting brief audio recording (middle of story) of a few lively excerpts from the Q&A at the end of the conference.

Why abortion is the opposite of love - Fr. Frank Pavone
And, so, the war CONTINUES.
Nothing new with that.
Skimmed the article. Let me get this straight. They said IVF is OK?
There's a strong strain of misogyny in all this - it seems there's always just something *wrong* with a woman, fertile or infertile. When people want to insult a woman who has had a large number of children, a common term is "baby factory." However, it's the artificial reproduction mindset that really treats women as machinery, just a walking uterus - like a microwave oven, just pop in an embryo, doesn't matter whose it is.
It's the world turned upside down: natural reproduction ... husband and wife are fond of each other, and then there's a baby ... is considered debasing and distasteful, while artificial reproduction is "a miracle."
