About this sermon
A new law against so-called hate speech has taken effect this week. The measure makes it illegal to stir up hatred based on age, disability, religion, sexual orientation or transgender identity. Some are applauding its implementation. Others say it will infringe on free speech and religious liberty. The Catholic Bishops Conference of Scotland has also been critical of the new law, saying in a statement "There should be no threat of prosecution for expressing the belief that, for example, there are only 2 sexes or genders... that a man cannot become a woman and vice versa, or that marriage can only be between one man and one woman." Scottish Commentator and Senior Legal Communications Officer for Alliance Defending Freedom UK, Lois McLatchie Miller, joins to share her thoughts on this new law in her home country. She discusses what the penalties are for violating this law. While this law may be well intended it seems pretty subjective and open to interpretation when it comes to stirring up hate. Some one who is a bit critical of this law is JK Rowling. Miller tells us about what happened recently with her and one of her posts on X as it relates to the new law. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
