While Helen Joyce’s Trans: When Ideology Meets Reality succeeds in marshalling evidence of the concrete harms that stem from gender ideology, it fails to wrestle with the underlying worldview that got us here.

In an email interview, Anderson discussed with the National Catholic Register the recent federal court blocking of the transgender mandate, the need for conscience protections, and how orthodox believers can be best equipped to take on the nonstop onslaught of gender ideology.

In what will prove to be the most watched – and most important – Supreme Court case in nearly half a century, the court will have an opportunity to correct a grievous error, one that has not only lent legal, indeed constitutional, cover to the elective killing of unborn children literally by the millions, but has also deeply corrupted American constitutional jurisprudence.
