Fri, 26 Jan 2024 - 53min - 3765 - African Bishops Reject Same-Sex Blessings
Pope Francis’ declaration allowing priests to bless same-sex couples puts Roman Catholics who accept the biblical definition of marriage in a tough spot. Though the document doesn’t officially change doctrine, it has sown confusion and emboldened heresy.
However, earlier this month, a group of African bishops released a joint statement explaining why they will not bless same-sex couples. Led by Congolese Cardinal Fridolin Ambongo Besungo, these bishops insisted that such unions are “contrary to the will of God,” and that the pope’s statement created “misconceptions and unrest in the minds of many lay faithful.”
It’s hard to miss a pattern here: As churches in the Global North abandon truth, churches in the Global South, especially Africa, stand firm. It brings to mind Jesus’ words to the church of Philadelphia: “I know that you have but little power, and yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.”
Thank you, African Christians, for being faithful. Please pray for the rest of us.
Fri, 26 Jan 2024 - 3764 - A Detransitioner's Story
Sascha Bailey, son of a world-renowned photographer father and a fashion model mother, appeared to “have it all.” Rather than saving his life, Bailey now believes that his attempts to adopt a new sex was, in reality, suicide with extra steps: “Transitioning was a way of killing myself without dying, because I was so unhappy with my life.”

Fri, 26 Jan 2024 - 05min - 3763 - Finnish Double Jeopardy
Over the last year, we’ve reported on the (literal) trials of Finnish parliamentarian Päivi Räsänen, who was accused of “hate speech” for sharing Bible verses in support of traditional sexuality. Twice already, she has been found “not guilty” by the courts. But as our friends at ADF reported last week, prosecutors are now trying to get that verdict overturned. According to Paul Coleman of ADF International, the attacks on Räsänen have been relentless. “As is so often the case in ‘hate speech’ trials,” he said, “the process has become part of the punishment.”
Recently, a progressive Christian author argued that since Räsänen is “only” threatened with a fine and not prison, it’s not really a big deal. But censorship is a big deal. The loss of freedoms that are good for everyone is a big deal. Christians and others who care about human flourishing and about loving our neighbors should stand against persecution of any degree.
