Sex Change: Physically Impossible, Psychosocially Unhelpful, and Philosophically Misguided

By

Parental Rights: A Casualty of the Transgender Revolution

By

Notre Dame Swallows the Pill

By
The University has announced it is to be the sole funder, unaccompanied proprietor, and director of distribution of what it has solemnly declared for years to be an immoral service. But the Holy Spirit is not a consequentialist. God does not want us to weigh up pros and cons of adhering to the moral truth. And the greatest respect we can show others is to bear faithful witness to the truth.

Why the Government Shouldn’t Force Bakers—Or Anyone—to Express Support for Same-Sex Marriage
