Recapping the recent Minnesota Legislation session
In this bold and eye-opening episode of Catholic in America, Jason Adkins is joined by Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse, founder of the Ruth Institute, to expose the institutional forces behind the sexual revolution—and how the Church's teachings are not only relevant, but prophetic. Dr. Morse, a trained economist and former professor at Yale and George Mason, dives deep into how elite ideologies—disguised as progress—have systematically dismantled family life through no-fault divorce, contraception, and gender ideology. From propaganda in U.S. foreign aid to the ideology embedded in public schools, Dr. Morse explains why the Sexual Revolution is not grassroots—but an elite-driven, top-down campaign of cultural colonization. Together, Jason and Dr. Morse discuss: Why the Church has been right all along about sexuality and marriage The myth of “neutral” sexual education and its real agenda How population control and foreign policy shaped feminism and gender ideology Why stories from survivors of the Sexual Revolution are changing the conversation What it means to raise a family in a world ruled by “The Sexual State” Dr. Morse doesn't hold back—and neither should we. If you're concerned about the future of children, family, and faith, this conversation is a must-listen.
