In this episode of the Ruth Institute Podcast, we listen to Dr. Morse discussing with Fr. Rob Jack the recent appointment of Sam Brinton to the Office of Nuclear Energy.
Amongst various aspects, Dr. Morse describes that some members of the federal government use appointments to flex the sexual revolution’s muscles. Passing away are the days when the best person is chosen on account of merit. The Sam Brinton appointment is proof of that fact.
Also, Dr. Morse speaks of her interview with Susan Constantine, forensic body-language expert, who appeared on the Dr. J Show and spoke at the Summit for Survivors 2021. She teaches about duping delight and how Sam Brinton’s story of torture in conversion therapy is almost certainly false. This same false story is being used to ban sexual orientation change efforts (SOCE) across the nation.
Additionally, Morse mentions Fr. Paul Sullins research which examines statistics from the Williams Institute which demonstrates that SOCE are not harmful to individuals who receive this form of treatment.
Fr. Sullins, an associate of the Ruth Institute and convert from Anglicanism to Catholicism, published his research in early February of 2022 (Sexual Orientation Change Efforts Do No Harm – Ruth Institute). Among other things, he finds that failed attempts of individuals who were seeking to change his or her own homosexual tendencies did not lead to negative behavioral differences or trauma.

At 19, Sean Corcoran’s girlfriend told him she was having an abortion. He tried to stop it. She went through with it. The college counselor told him it didn’t affect him — because he was a man.
Eight years later he was homeless, addicted to meth, and overdosing on a hotel room floor.
He never connected the two things. Because nobody was talking about how abortion affects fathers.
Sean Corcoran is now CEO of Men for Life. In this episode he joins Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse to talk about what abortion does to men, why good men have abandoned the pro-life fight, and what it takes to get them back.
