The Recovering Catholic: What's Really behind the Christian Obsession with Homosexuality

Jun 7, 2026 | Why are so many Christians concerned with gay people while often ignoring other issues the Bible discusses far more frequently? In this video, we explore the history, theology, culture, fear, and social factors that have made homosexuality one of the most debated topics in modern Christianity. You'll discover why this issue became such a focal point, what the Bible actually says, and whether the focus reflects the teachings of faith or something deeper within religious culture. If you've ever wondered why LGBTQ issues generate so much attention in Christian circles, this conversation offers historical context, spiritual insight, and a fresh perspective.

These simple people who call themselves “Christian” have a very poor understanding of the Bible and of what Christianity teaches them. For starters, a Christian is supposed to believe that God is the Creator — the Creator who created everything, including homosexuals.

If we are to believe the Christian message, then we humans are an integral part of God’s creation — we are, in fact, God’s children. Ergo, if a homosexual is one of God’s creation then God clearly intended for that person to be that way. Or are we also to believe that God makes mistakes, believe that God errs?

But this cannot be! Why? Because we are also implored, nay commanded, to believe that God is all-knowing, omniscient, and infallible. He is therefore inerrant. So, if God is infallible, one can come only to one conclusion, and it is this: God created homosexuals that way because He wanted them to be that way. So, who are we, as mere mortals, to argue with God’s intentions and about His Creation?

The conclusion: It is Christian's bounden duty to accept homosexuals just as they are, for that is how God intended them to be. We might argue about the nature of behaviour; but we cannot, and should not, argue about the nature of being.

Hence, homosexuals should be PROUD of their God-given nature, and both homosexuals and heterosexuals alike should be tolerant and accepting of each other. This will lead to PEACE and UNDERSTANDING in the community. And God is, after all, the God of love and of peace. Indeed, Jesus, who Christians are supposed to believe is the ‘Son of God’ and be part of the Triune God, is often called the ‘King of Peace’.

It is interesting to note that Jesus never talked about the concept of same-sex attraction and same-sex love. Had this been a problem for Him, He surely would have said something about it. — © Mark Alexander

How Christianity Shaped the American Presidency

Lawrence: Trump, Who Failed to Buy Stormy Daniels’ Silence, Now Seeks Iran Deal He Ripped Up

Apr 17, 2026 | Pope Leo issued a warning against those "who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economical, or political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth." MS NOW's Lawrence O'Donnell explains why most of the world interpreted that as a description of Donald Trump, the irreligious man in the White House.

How could American voters have been so stupid and naïve as to not only elect, but also re-elect, Trump into office? How could they not have had the foresight to see and to imagine the misery that man would bring them if voted into office? One look at Trump should have been enough to put any switched on American off voting for him. After all, Trump’s character flaws are there, written all over him, for all the world to see. — © Mark Alexander

Chris Hedges Exposes How America’s FAKE Christian Right & Billionaires Are Destroying Us! | Reupload

Feb 11, 2025 | Marc Lamont Hill sits down with Chris Hedges, the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and former New York Times Middle East bureau chief, to break down America’s looming future under a toxic mix of corporate greed, religious extremism, and fascist politics. Hedges calls out the “Christian Right” for its deep ties to the billionaire class, claiming they're using "magic Jesus" to distract the masses from real economic collapse. The conversation goes deep into how the system is rigged against the working class, how “boutique activism” misses the point, and why the fight for true justice can’t be won without confronting economic inequality head-on. The explosive talk covers the dangerous rise of Christian nationalism, the genocide in Gaza, and why the left is too weak to stop the chaos ahead. You won't hear this anywhere else.

Chris Hedges is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, author, and social critic. With a long career covering war and global injustice, Hedges brings his deep insights into the collapse of the American empire, economic inequality, and the rise of authoritarianism. He's the author of several books, including America: The Farewell Tour and Wages of Rebellion, and a fierce critic of both political parties.

Trump Signs Order to Fight ‘Anti-Christian Bias’

THE NEW YORK TIMES: The president convened a task force to “prosecute anti-Christian violence and vandalism.” Critics said he’d turned religious freedom on its head by singling out one faith.

President Trump signed an executive order on Thursday aimed at eradicating “anti-Christian bias” in the federal government by having agencies review policies and practices that he says have tried to squelch religious activities and activism.

Mr. Trump, who announced the order at the National Prayer Breakfast, appointed his new attorney general, Pam Bondi, to lead a task force at the Justice Department to spearhead the effort. Mr. Trump said the task force would “fully prosecute anti-Christian violence and vandalism in our society” and “move heaven and earth to defend the rights of Christians and religious believers nationwide.”

“You’ve never had that before, but this is a very powerful document I’m signing,” he said. “You got it now — first time you’ve had it. If we don’t have religious liberty, then we don’t have a free country. We probably don’t even have a country.”

The executive order is meant to reverse what it calls an “egregious pattern of targeting peaceful Christians, while ignoring violent, anti-Christian offenses” under President Joseph R. Biden Jr. It cited the convictions of anti-abortion demonstrators for blocking access to abortion clinics. » | Erica L. Green | Reporting from Washington | Friday, February 7, 2025

A Move Toward Christianity Stirs in a Muslim Land

THE NEW YORK TIMES: Christian converts in Kosovo, where the vast majority of people are Muslim, hope to revive a pre-Islamic past they see as a key to their European identity.

Two men chatting in front of a church in the village of Llapushnik, Kosovo, where a baptism ceremony took place in November. | Armend Nimani for The New York Times
The Catholic priest stood at the altar in the hilltop church for the mass baptism, dunking dozens of heads in water and tracing a cross with his finger on each forehead.

Then he rejoiced at Christianity’s recovery of souls in a land where the vast majority of people are Muslim — as the men, women and children standing before him had been.

The ceremony was one of many in recent months in Kosovo, a formerly Serbian territory inhabited largely by ethnic Albanians that declared itself an independent state in 2008. In a census last spring, 93 percent of the population professed itself Muslim and only 1.75 percent Roman Catholic.

A small number of ethnic Albanian Christian activists, all converts from Islam, are urging their ethnic kin to look to the church as an expression of their identity. They call it the “return movement,” a push to revive a pre-Islamic past they see as an anchor of Kosovo’s place in Europe and a barrier to religious extremism spilling over from the Middle East. » | Andrew Higgins and Fatjona Mejdini | Reporting from Llapushnik, Podujevo and Pristina, Kosovo | Saturday, Jan 4, 2025

The Churches Response to Islamisation in Europe | Panel Discussion

Sep 27, 2024

Islam is seductive to young men, especially because Islam is a muscular religion. It is muscular and masculine. Islam has no concept of “turning the other cheek”; rather, it preaches an “eye for an eye’. It is easy to see its attraction for young men.

Go to a church on a Sunday these days and you are likely to find not many young men, but many elderly ladies. – © Mark Alexander

Angels and the Festival of Michaelmas

Sep 24, 2024 | Rupert explores the significance of Michaelmas, the Feast of Saint Michael and all angels, celebrated on September 29th. He discusses the role of angels in various religious traditions, and how modern beliefs about angels persist despite materialist skepticism. He touches on encounters with angels in dreams and altered states, questioning whether they are real or products of imagination. Drawing on figures like Carl Jung and Saint Thomas Aquinas, Rupert reflects on angels' place in the collective unconscious and their roles in Western thought.
