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.
