A new study suggests the drop in fertility rates in the U.S. is in part related to the rise of smartphone culture. Catholic social scientists are among those who believe it is not a coincidence that smartphones became widespread in 2007, just before the fertility rate plunged. Catholic author Tim Carney and University of Virginia professor Brad Wilcox examine the study’s accuracy and the ways Pope Leo XIV and Catholic schools can help reverse the trend. Plus a closer look at the miracle “baby born twice” to Catholic parents in Florida; Oregon holds its annual rally for the unborn, which dates from before Roe v Wade; and a one-time champion pentathlete in Italy dives deeper into his faith, and being an advocate for the disabled, following a near-fatal accident.

A “Men’s Special” aimed at young men, fathers and grandfathers includes a look at a Catholic school in Illinois whose graduates leave with zero college debt and ready to enter the workforce having learned a trade.

San Damiano President Kent Lasnoski says the school is providing an alternative to “useless [college] degrees” and mountains of student debt. Plus Gates Garcia, host of the “We the People” podcast, explains why he says the American Dream is not dead; Adm. Brian Christine from HHS says his background as a medical doctor, mostly treating men, will impact his work in advancing men’s health agendas without compromising those in place for women; and a look at faith-based initiatives for grandfathers.

A new report says many abortion businesses are violating federal rules designed to protect women. Charlotte Lozier Institute says more than a half-dozen online abortion businesses are shipping abortion drugs into states with pro-life laws prohibiting their distribution. The group also says more than 80% of abortion drug sellers make the dangerous drugs available after 10 weeks of pregnancy, flouting FDA guidelines. Charlotte Lozier Institute’s Dr. Ingrid Skop says the study reveals major concerns, and little oversight from the FDA. Plus, Pope Leo delivers pro-family and pro-motherhood messages to a group of lawmakers from the European Parliament. He also ties in the continent’s demographic struggles with Europe’s shift toward anti-Christian policies. Dr. Joseph Meaney from the National Catholic Bioethics Center goes inside the numbers on Europe’s aging population and its increase in both abortion and euthanasia. Several U.S. states push back on so-called “Pride Month” by inaugurating pro-family and pro-life initiatives for June. And how the National Shrine of Our Lady of Champion in Wisconsin is celebrating America’s upcoming 250th anniversary with a Catholic twist.
