About this sermon
Last week the Supreme Chamber of Mexico upheld the guilty verdict for a Mexican Congressman and leader of the National Front for the Family. Rodrigo Ivan Cortes was convicted of gender based political violence, including digital violence for referring to a transgender colleague, Salma Luevano, as a "man who self-ascribes as a woman." As part of the verdict, Cortes was placed on the national registry of offenders and ordered to complete reparation measures, including daily social media apologies. Congressman Cortes and his legal counsel, Julio Pohl of Alliance Defending Freedom International, join to share their reactions to last week's verdict. Cortes explains whether he ever thought that his media posts would garner so much attention and controversy at the time. He discusses what he makes of how prominent this case has become. Pohl tells us what message the Mexican judiciary is sending with their verdict and why there is such a crackdown on free speech in the country right now. They fill us in on how this has impacted Cortes personally and professional as this has taken a toll on him and those around him. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
