Fr. James Martin Turns Sodom Into Migrant Tale
In a chilling exposé that pulls no punches, Catholic commentator Anthony Stine sounds the alarm on what he describes as an audacious attempt by Fr. James Martin, SJ, to twist sacred scripture itself. As faithful Catholics prepare to hear the story of Abraham pleading with God over Sodom and Gomorrah in this weekend’s liturgy, Stine warns that Fr. Martin is exploiting the moment to promote a false narrative—that the destruction of those cities was solely due to a lack of hospitality, rather than the grave sexual immorality plainly condemned in Genesis, Ezekiel, and Jude. Stine rebukes the selective reinterpretation, pointing out that the Hebrew Scriptures unmistakably condemn the "detestable" acts of Sodom, a term synonymous with moral perversion and used consistently in reference to homosexual acts. In a time when truth is under siege—even from within the Church—Stine calls on the faithful to cling to Scripture and sacred tradition, not to the dangerous innovations of clerics rewriting the Word of God to fit modern ideologies.

In 1858, Jex-Blake enrolled in college against the wishes of her parents.
