Helen Alvaré on Religious Freedom and Sexual Liberationism

In this video from the Franciscan University of Steubenville's Distinguished Speakers Series, Dr. Helen Alvaré convincingly argues that the ideology of "sexualityism" (or sexual liberationism or sexual libertinism) is the biggest opponent of religious freedom in the West today.

Content Warning: This video contains frank discussions of sexuality and sexual morality, and would not be appropriate for children.



Here is the video description from YouTube:

Dr. Helen Alvaré, professor of law at George Mason School of Law, delivers the annual Henkels Lecture at Franciscan University of Steubenville, as part of the Distinguished Speakers Series. Her talk, "Religious Freedom and Sexual Liberationism," looked at how secular society's interpretation of birth control, co-habitation, and abortion as the new norms has generated an incredible mistrust among the sexes.

World Youth Day Video: Freedom of Religion and Other Topics

Several speakers are featured in this video from this year's World Youth Day in Madrid, including Archbishop Charles Chaput, Carl Anderson (supreme knight of the Knights of Columbus), Fr. Thomas Rosica, Helen Alvaré, and a filmmaker whose name I missed. The topics include religion and the media, freedom of religion, secularism, and legal issues around family and sexuality.

UPDATE: I watched this video in another browser without ad-blocking software, and indeed it does have advertisements (a short commercial at the beginning, and a pop-up ad that displays at the bottom of the video, but that you can close). The ones I saw were not objectionable, but different people may see different ads. If you want to block the ads, you can try using Mozilla Firefox with Adblock Plus; that has worked for me.
