Show notes:
In the first segment, our panelists discuss the persecution of Christians in Nigeria, focusing on the case of Rhoda Jatau, a Christian mother facing trial for alleged blasphemy. Her case highlights the broader issue of violence and discrimination against religious minorities in Northern Nigeria, where blasphemy laws perpetuate societal tensions and violence.
In the second segment of the show, we explore the court case Joseph Parish v. Nessel, examining how a new Michigan law threatens the religious freedom of St. Joseph Catholic School. The law, which prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, challenges the school’s ability to operate according to Catholic teachings on marriage and sexuality.
