Summer 2026
The Journal edition is probably the most consequential one that CMF has published.
Michael Vacca, Paul Byrne, Christine Zainer, and Mary Mainland discuss the proper determination of death and how to ensure that patients are not prematurely declared dead and subjected to active euthanasia via organ harvesting. Given the utilitarian healthcare system we have, this article is vital to ensure that God remains sovereign over human life and death. The second article is a beautiful, personal reflection on how we should treat patients with dementia written by Victoria Valent. It is a beautiful and profoundly Catholic, a true testament to living in God’s love. The final article is a poignant reflection by Jen Cox on what it means to accompany people and lead them toward healing.
