"There's a long downward slope for children in this country over the last 60 years, starting with the sexual revolution," said John Bursch, senior counsel and vice president of appellate advocacy with Alliance Defending Freedom. "Kids become objects, mere commodities....and children aren't given the dignity and respect that human beings made in the likeness and image of God are supposed to have and gender ideology is the last bastion at the end of that line." Bursch has argued 12 U.S. Supreme Court cases and three dozen state supreme court cases, and he has successfully litigated six matters with at least $1 billion at stake. He's also the author of the new book, "Loving God's Children - The Church and Gender Ideology."

In this new book, Bursch helps explain what the Catholic Church teaches about the human person and why modern culture’s embrace of “gender ideology” is not only wrong but terribly dangerous for parents and families, female athletes, medical professionals — and especially those experiencing gender confusion. Drawing from Church documents and extensive scientific research, Bursch answers numerous questions that confront Catholics living in a culture that promotes gender fluidity. He covers a range of topics including how to approach the use of pronouns in the workplace, whether transgender individuals can receive the sacraments, and ways to accompany those struggling with gender confusion.
