Show notes:
In the first segment, our panelists delve into the alarming trend of the criminalization of Christianity abroad and the looming question: Could it happen in America? Highlighting cases from Europe and beyond, including the apparent persecution of individuals like Matthew Grech and Adam Smith-Connor, the discussion explores the implications for religious freedom and civil liberties, urging vigilance to prevent such encroachments on American soil.
In the second segment of the show, we dissect the pivotal court case Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo, examining the controversial Chevron doctrine’s impact on religious liberties. With Chevron deference granting unprecedented power to executive agencies, religious groups like the Little Sisters of the Poor have faced legal battles over mandates conflicting with their beliefs. Will this case prompt a re-examination of Chevron’s far-reaching implications?
