QUOTES FOR REFLECTION “We have smoothly transitioned from one form of feminine subservience to another, but we pretend that this one is liberation.” “…Western sexual culture in the twenty-first century…promotes the interests of the Hugh Hefners of the world at the expense of the Marilyn Monroes.”~Louise Perry, British journalist in The Case Against the Sexual Revolution “For we were the purpose of [Christ's] embodiment, and for our salvation he so loved human beings as to come to be and appear in a human body.” “He became what we are so that he might make us what he is.”~Athanasius of Alexandria (c.296-373), On the Incarnation “The dignity of human nature, fashioned in the divine image, is such that God can take it for himself—and keep it.”~Nigel Cameron, bioethicist “[The] central doctrines of Christianity prompted and sustained attractive, liberating, and effective social relations and organizations…. [P]erhaps above all else, Christianity brought a new conception of humanity to a world saturated with capricious cruelty and the vicarious love of death…. [W]hat Christianity gave to its converts was nothing less than their humanity.”~Rodney Stark (1934-2022), Professor of Sociology and Comparative Religion “It is a serious thing…to remember that the dullest most uninteresting person you can talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship, or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare…. There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal…. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub, and exploit….”~C.S. Lewis (1893-1963), The Weight of Glory “Christianity's success is to be found in its inclusiveness. More than any other of its [ancient] competitors it attracted all races and classes…. Christianity, too, was for both sexes…. The Church welcomed both rich and poor…. No other [religion]…took in so many groups and strata of society.”~Kenneth Scott Latourette (1884-1986), historian at Yale UniversitySERMON PASSAGEselected passages (ESV)Genesis 1 26 Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. 28 And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” Matthew 22 15 Then the Pharisees went and plotted how to entangle him in his words. 16 And they sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that you are true and teach the way of God truthfully, and you do not care about anyone's opinion, for you are not swayed by appearances. 17 Tell us, then, what you think. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?” 18 But Jesus, aware of their malice, said, “Why put me to the test, you hypocrites? 19 Show me the coin for the tax.” And they brought him a denarius. 20 And Jesus said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” 21 They said, “Caesar's.” Then he said to them, “Therefore render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.” 22 When they heard it, they marveled. And they left him and went away.... 34 But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. 35 And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him. 36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” 37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.” 1 Corinthians 6 18 Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body. 19 Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, 20 for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body. Hebrews 2 14 Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, 15 and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery. 16 For surely it is not angels that he helps, but he helps the offspring of Abraham. 17 Therefore he had to be made like his brothers in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.

The assassination of American Charlie Kirk has led much of our society to examine what a civilization is and to ask what creates a civilized society. Charlie Kirk was a strong and determined advocate for Judeo-Christian values, committed marriage, and the well-being of children and families. One of the most destructive moral influences upon American civilization was, and continues to be, Alfred Kinsey. In the span of his lifetime, Kinsey managed (with the aid of Deep State forces through the Intelligence services) to extensively upend the ethical forces that held in check baser human instincts. Civilization is in many ways the management of human appetites to maximize freedom for all members of the community. The mores of American culture in the 1940s, rooted in Judeo-Christian values, emphasized the respect and even sacredness of marriage, as well as the encouragement and affirmation of marital fidelity. Kinsey tore through these traditional values with a chainsaw—promoting promiscuity and declaring that if a sexual act could be physically performed, it was acceptable and natural. He included both adult sex with children, as well as sex with animals, in this definition. Kinsey's books: Sexual Behavior in the Human Male(1948), followed by Sexual Behavior in the Human Female (1953), included chapters purporting to prove the sexuality of infants and prepubescent children with charts documenting what he called children's orgasms. His sources for large portions of his data were predatory pedophiles, from whom Kinsey collected data for his hypotheses rather than reporting them to the authorities. These pedophiles, in turn, have been protected by the Kinsey Institute, a nonprofit affiliated with Indiana University. The data he collected from the sources he protected has continued to be locked away, supposedly to protect the privacy of the reporters who were abusing children. What an irony! That Kinsey, who advocates the removal of all boundaries upon sexuality, has one ironclad boundary of privacy protecting his research against the independent examination of the foundational sources of his data, including child abusers. Kinsey's work inspired Hugh Hefner and spawned the entire Playboy empire, leading to the explosion of pornography, pedophilia, and the hook-up culture so prevalent in America today, and shaking the civilizational foundation of marriage and family to its core. The unraveling of the American family has, in turn, fractured the foundations of our very civilization. Even worse, Kinsey encouraged sexual acts and engagement between adults and children, including infants. As we reported in our earlier column on Alfred Kinsey: The [Kinsey] institute contains, in its archives, the stories of hundreds, if not thousands, of acts of sexual abuse against children. Many of these accounts involve the physical rape of very small children. These reports include precise details of the children crying, resisting, and making other efforts to fend off their assailants. These details are included because Dr. Alfred Kinsey, the Father of the Sexual Revolution, believed in collecting detailed “scientific” accounts of every kind of sexual act between human beings, including violent sexual acts committed upon children by adults. On their official website, the Kinsey Institute denies that Kinsey and his colleagues hired, collaborated with, or persuaded people to carry out experiments on children. But Dr. Reisman's research and evidence, along with the evidence of others, prove otherwise. Furthermore, a 1995 Washington Post article reported: Yesterday, the director of the Kinsey Institute revealed that Kinsey's conclusions on the sexuality of young children were based not on scientific study but on the secret history of a single pedophile who kept a diary of his experiences with 317 pre-adolescent boys. The Kinsey Institute director in 1995 was John Bancroft, who “clarified” Kinsey's research approach at a press conference in Washington, DC, called by a Representative of Congress investigating Kinsey's methods of research, their legality, conclusions, and effects upon school curricula and American culture. Bancroft went on to declare that no one will ever know what happened to the children whose orgasms are reported in the Kinsey Tables in the Sexual Behavior of the Human Male. The Post article continued quoting Bancroft: “There was no contact with any of the boys by anyone at the institute, only with the man's notes,” he said. The institute “has never carried out sexual experiments on children.” As for the pedophile — who was not paid — he is catalogued at the Kinsey Institute under a pseudonym, which could be decoded but will not be if Bancroft has anything to do with it. “The man is long dead. He died around 1955,” the director said. The 50th Anniversary edition of the Sexual Behavior in the Human Female includes eighteen closely typed pages in justification and defense of Kinsey's work, written by the Director of the Institute at that time, John Bancroft. Kinsey believed in a concept he termed ‘total sexual outlet.' Bancroft declared: The fact that he [Kinsey] combined orgasms from six principal sources, masturbation, nocturnal emissions, heterosexual petting, heterosexual intercourse, homosexual relations, and intercourse with animals, to derive his ‘total sexual outlet,' in no way means that he regarded each of these sources of orgasm as of equal value in social or interpersonal or emotional terms, for either men or women. His lack of comment on the moral value of any form of sexual behavior was central to his non-judgmental approach, without which his long-running project, which he envisioned as continuing for many years longer than it did, would not have been viable. We regret that he made no such moral comparisons, because without them he describes sexual behavior in something of a moral vacuum which others have been quick to fill with their own interpretations of Kinsey's moral standpoint… Bancroft goes on to discuss critics of Kinsey's work. What he fails to observe is that in this vacuum, which he describes, many new liberties and assumptions were indeed taken, and many moral protections, however imperfect, which had been in place for generations for women and for all children (and for that matter, animals) were gravely weakened. Most egregiously, Kinsey declared in 1953 in Sexual Behavior in the Human Female: There are, of course, instances of adults who have done physical damage to children with whom they have attempted sexual contact… But these cases are in the minority, and the public should learn to distinguish such serious contacts from other adult contacts that are not likely to do the child any appreciable harm if the child's parents do not become disturbed. Our radio guest, Rhonda Miller, is CEO of Purple for Parents, a nonprofit dedicated to protecting children from the harmful agendas in government schools, from indoctrination to sexual grooming. She is leading members of her organization along with other international groups with shared goals to lobby in Washington, DC in order to finally have the Kinsey Institute and the institute's foundational sex research locked away within the institute fully investigated.

Father Rob speaks with Father Paul Sullins, a sociologist and Senior Research Associate at the Ruth Institute, about a groundbreaking re-analysis of the controversial 2012 Regnerus study on same-sex parenting. Father Sullins explains how researchers recently applied a “multiverse of analysis” approach—running over 2 million statistical permutations—to the original dataset. Their goal was to debunk the study, but instead, they found overwhelming confirmation: in every model, children raised by same-sex parents consistently fared worse than those raised by a married mother and father. Father Sullins discusses how this re-analysis not only validates the original study's findings but also highlights the deep ideological bias in academia, where research that supports traditional family structures is often suppressed or ignored. He recounts how journals have retracted studies under activist pressure and how scholars who challenge the dominant narrative face professional retaliation. The conversation also touches on broader implications: the Catholic Church's understanding of the human person, the erosion of academic freedom, and the potential legal and cultural consequences, especially regarding adoption laws and same-sex marriage rulings. Despite the challenges, Father Sullins sees signs of hope, including honest scholars beginning to push back against ideological censorship. Together, the two priests explore how faith and honest science converge, reinforcing timeless truths about family, parenting, and the well-being of children.

The Western world has been shaped by two sexual revolutions. In a previous lecture, we saw how early Christianity ushered in the first revolution with a cosmic sexual code that overturned the oppressive sexual code of the ancient world. In this lecture, we'll explore how the sexual revolution of the twentieth century overturned the Christian code, resulting not in liberation but in disintegration of intimacy, trust and of our very humanity.To listen to the first lecture in this series click below.Please note that the ideas expressed in this lecture do not necessarily represent the views of L'Abri Fellowship.For more resources, visit the L'Abri Ideas Library at labriideaslibrary.org.

We're taking a small break this summer to gear up for season six of the Strong Women podcast. During this break, we'll be re-airing episodes we think you'll enjoy! Our world is so confused about what it means to be male or female. Some speak as if men and women are interchangeable, and others as if we're totally different species. But God's creation of men and women is bigger and better than these false extremes. This week, Dr. Abigail Favale joins me to talk about biblical sexuality, the goodness of our bodies, and the interdependence that God designed us to live out. The Genesis of Gender by Abigail Favale Pope John Paul II on the Theology of the Body The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self: Cultural Amnesia, Expressive Individualism, and the Road to Sexual Revolution by Carl Trueman Essays on Woman by Freda Mary Oben The Strong Women Podcast is a product of the Colson Center, which equips Christians to live out their faith with clarity, confidence, and courage in this cultural moment.
