The Catechism of the Catholic Church states that In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is “morally unacceptable” because it separates the marriage act from procreation and establishes “the domination of technology” over human life (CCC 2377). More children are discarded and aborted through the IVF procedure either from the petri dish in the laboratory or through an abortion procedure called “selective reduction.” In addition, there is no ethical solution for the care of the millions of children frozen as unimplanted fertilized embryos.

The Church, in its 2000-year history, has always defended human life from conception to natural death, with particular attention to the more fragile stages of existence. The rejection of both euthanasia and “over-zealous” treatment constitute an affirmation of the rights of persons. “Intentional euthanasia, whatever its forms or motives, is murder. It is gravely contrary to the dignity of the human person and to the respect due to the living God, his Creator” (CCC 2324)

Hope and Dignity: A Catholic Response to Euthanasia and Assisted Suicide is a pastoral initiative to equip Catholic to be effective witnesses in their families, parishes,  workplaces and communities.

Address of His Holiness Benedict XVI to Participants at an International Congress Organized by the Pontifical Academy for Life, Pope Benedict XVI, November 7, 2008 – Organ donation is a peculiar form of witness to charity. Individual vital organs cannot be extracted except ex cadaver. The principal criteria of respect for the life of the donator must always prevail so that the extraction of organs be performed only in the case of his/her true death. The sale and trafficking in organs and destruction of embryos for therapeutic purposes is illicit.

“Her case illustrates that sometimes, you don’t even realized you have opened a door until something terrible has slipped in. As we leave this case, I want to say a word about yoga. I am a priest, sharing my experiences. I know that many people do yoga apart from having any religious intention. And, I don’t want to leave listeners with the impression that if they did yoga 10 years ago, that they are now oppressed. The point of my sharing this case is simply to say, that it is my belief as a Catholic priest born out by my experience as an exorcist that to do yoga is to roll the dice. And friend, take it from me, you don’t want to gamble when it comes to demons.”  [SELECT HERE for TRANSCRIPT].

Protestant Pastor Michael Miller, February 27, 2026
AUDIO:  Breaking Curses and Confronting the Enemy Ryan Bethea interviews the Pastor on The Exorcist Files – [Listen at 37:10-48:00 for his experience with Yoga]
Short Excerpt: The word yoga, it literally means to yoke to Brahman. And the poses that you do are reenactment of the war of the Hindu pantheon. You know, when you go from warrior one to warrior two, you’re cutting off the head of one god and placing it on a spike. The very first position you do is a worship to the sun god Krishna. And so they call them flows because it’s actually a dance to the Hindu gods… I find it interesting that Christians will say they do Christian yoga, so they worship Jesus the way the Hindus worship their gods. I should also indicate that worship is not arbitrarily chosen by the worshipper. There are deigned ways in which we can worship, and there are forbidden ways we can worship. I’ve come to this conclusion that yoga was idolatry. I’ve seen a number of people with sciatic pain, back problems, people who got into yoga because they had a little pain and started doing it. And once we got rid of that spirit, they no longer had those back pains. …the pastor’s mom, delivered to her from kundalini spirit that came in through yoga and she was healed of acid reflux. I’ve seen Shiva, Vishnu, Brahman, Pranayama, Kundalini, Bikram, all of those, and Pikachu, a bunch of Hindu pantheons that are attached — probably about 8 to 10 different demons that are common amongst yoga. I’m not kicking a person out of my church if they’ve done yoga or do it for exercise. Like it’s, I am very straightforward on what I think it is and what I think it does.

National Association of Catholic Nurses, U.S.A. (NACN-USA) website: “Yoga is considered one of the six branches of classical Hindu philosophy. Its goal is to reach “Kaivalya” (ultimate freedom) by releasing the soul from the chains of cause and effect (karma) which tie the person to continual reincarnation. Yoga uses physical exercises, powers of concentration and breathing techniques as well as meditation to achieve these ends and attain union with Brahman. You can’t take a Hindu practice, throw some Christian music in the mix, and call it worshiping the one True God…This isn’t the way God asked us to worship Him (Deut. 12:31).” (Source: www.nacn-usa.org).
