Trumpite Evangelicalism or Bidenist Catholicism?
It is surely a time for Christians to remember St. Paul’s call to focus on heavenly things.
Given the extremity of the president’s rhetoric and the confident damning of any who might demur, it seems legitimate to ask (yet again) how much gender theory and gender “science” Joe Biden has read. One has to assume he is an expert, given that he feels comfortable dismissing anyone who dissents as motivated by hate... Continue Reading
Religious Need not Apply, Says Oregon
State officials strip state funding from Oregon youth ministry for its hiring practices.
In July, the Department of Education awarded 71Five several grants worth over $400,000. But three months later, a state official notified the nonprofit by email that their grants were being taken back, saying that the nonprofit was disqualified from the grant programs because of its hiring practices. An Oregon youth ministry is challenging state... Continue Reading
Orthodoxy Is Not Optional
Neuhaus’ law remains undefeated—and a challenge for the faithful.
Whenever voices make a push to make orthodoxy optional, the faithful have a choice: to relent or to fight. And, if they fight, they will inevitably be painted as Big Meanies. When Christian colleges fire liberalizing faculty members, or when denominational authorities uphold church discipline against pastoral officers who violate ordination vows via heretical teaching...

Abortion Is Shameful, Act like It
Return to normalcy.
Most abortions are committed by women destined to remain childless. A vast majority of normal American women intend never to commit an abortion, never do, and instead want to start a family. Rejecting abortions is normal. Having abortions is not. Recently in Ohio, a constitutional amendment to allow some abortion-on-demand narrowly passed a popular... Continue Reading
Surgical and Sexological Practices? Not Today, Satan
Andrew Sullivan, Judith Butler, and C.S. Lewis
Fortunately for us, Satan lacks self-control. He can’t keep anything within reasonable proportion. He can’t be content with transing just some of the kids. He must trans all of them. He must destroy every human body on the way to devouring every precious soul. And so, eventually, all the confused speech becomes such a deafening... Continue Reading
When “Helping” Kids Hurts Them
Why the generation accessing the most mental therapy is the most mentally unhealthy.
For Christians who understand that human beings are more than matter that can be molded and medicated, the need for a book like this is even more obvious. Divine revelation and millennia of insight suggest that much of what passes for “psychological trauma” today is spiritual brokenness. Spiritual healing can take the form of counseling...

Steeped in Fragility
Jonathan Haidt describes how a smartphone-based childhood works against making children resilient.
For the vast majority of children, mental-health treatment will not be necessary. Kids are resilient. Just as a smoker who quits will immediately boost his life expectancy, kids who spend less time and attention on platforms designed to be addictive and anxiety-inducing have a chance to bounce back. Haidt’s proposals can help give them that... Continue Reading
Assisted Suicide and the Happiness Imperative
The West’s moral revolution collides with itself.
Where once bodies were givens that decisively shaped our identity, now they can be reconstructed if their sexed nature is a hindrance to a sense of psychological well-being. Inevitably this plays into all issues of life. Abortion is considered a right because the baby in the womb can be a hindrance to the happiness of the... Continue Reading
How a Handful of Billionaires Created the Transgender “Movement”: An Interview with Jennifer Bilek
The medical-tech sector is trying to confer human rights upon a group who are seeking to disown their humanity.
The primary catalysts driving the gender industry are rooted in technological developments entwined with an unfettered market. Medical-sex identities, along with technological reproduction, are at the forefront of attempts to advance our species beyond our current human borders. The strategic linking of an agenda aimed at deconstructing reproductive sex with a civil rights movement centered... Continue Reading
When Evil Is Unmasked
Andrea Long Chu’s New York essay reveals the true motivation behind trans activism.
From Ryan Anderson to Jesse Singal, all were guilty in Chu’s eyes of “compassion-mongering” and “gatekeeping,” disagreeing only on “how the gate is to be kept.” Maybe trans “affirmation” surgery would make some people happy, and maybe it wouldn’t, but for Chu, that wasn’t the point. The point was that “surgery’s only prerequisite should be... Continue Reading
