Rachel Mastrogiacomo was groomed for predation while studying theology in Rome to serve the Catholic church. Her predator was a deacon at the time, and later was ordained a priest, serving in San Diego. On two occasions, this now-former priest, Jacob Bertrand, held private masses with then-24 year-old Rachel, during which he raped her. He told her that in complying with her rape she was becoming Christ’s special bride. Rachel suffered devastating life consequences because of the Satanic Ritual Sexual Abuse by Bertrand. After years of silence and shame, Rachel told her diocese of the abuse, but to no avail. Her pleas for help and justice from the Diocese of San Diego, led by Bishop Robert McElroy, were ignored, denied, and deflected. Finally she was forced to go public and take her abuser to court. Bertrand ultimately confessed and was convicted of ritual rape. What triggers Rachel now and provokes revictimization is the promotion of Bishop McElroy from San Diego to the cardinalate, for he failed to act when s

Dr. Morse and Father Rob Jack discuss the troubling new statistic coming out of Great Britain: for the first time since records were kept, more births occurred out of wedlock than within. The statistics show that women whose first birth is out of wedlock tend to have their subsequent children with men unrelated to the father of the first child. In those circumstances, the first child is at higher risk of physical and sexual abuse.

Dr. Morse and Fr. Rob Jack discuss.

Spurred on by the recent interview with Jordan Peterson on Dave Rubin's podcast, Dr. Morse and Fr.

Passing the Pill: Who’s Responsible for Abortifacient Mishaps?   Conversations with Consequences Originally published Feb. 26, 2022 by The Catholic Association.   You’ve heard of passing the buck. But Planned Parenthood has given us a new expression: passing the pill. In this episode of the Ruth Institute Podcast, Dr. Grazie Christie interviews Dr. Donna Harrison, on her show “Conversations with Consequences.” Dr. Harrison, president of the American Association of Pro-life Obstetricians and Gynecologists (AAPLOG), and a friend of the Ruth Institute, spoke at Ruth Institute’s 2021 Summit for Survivors. They discuss chemical abortions, but specifically the drug Mifeprex. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) originally put regulations on this drug, but caving to political pressures, they recently backtracked. But was this a wise decision?

Utopian Dream of the Sexual Revolution   Originally published May 12, 2022 by Driving Home the Faith.

Dr. Morse emphasizes that kids need their parents and that the battle for Christian sexual ethics is the battle that is most needed for securing the rights of children. Also, Fr. Jack and Dr. Morse discuss the explosion of violence across the country against Catholic churches. It seems that the Sexual Revolution’s utopian dream is at stake for once. Mayor of Chicago, Laurie Lightfoot says, referring to the pregnancy care center in Wisconsin, that abortion clinics are now being bombed in retaliation. This is an overt lie. Lightfoot also pledged that the city of Chicago will use $500,000 of city funds for the promotion and safeguarding of abortion in the city. Dr. Morse posits that sexual revolutionaries have always soug
