On November 23, Hudson Byblow, a former same-sex attracted man with transgender inclinations, now a faithful Catholic living chastely, spoke at the Saint
Pius X Church Center in Rochester, New York, to an enthusiastic audience.
This event, co-sponsored by The Ruth Institute and The Station of the Cross Catholic Radio Network, was in response to a recent interfaith Rochester
event featuring Fr. James Martin, a priest known to advocate for homosexuality. The Ruth Institute worked with a group of local Catholics, at their
request, to bring Byblow to Rochester.
Ruth Institute President Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse, Ph.D., said, “Catholics must respond to people like Fr. James Martin. Evangelicals must respond
to people like Pastor Josh Harris. The best response to fuzzy thinking is clear, unambiguous positive thinking,especially on the ancient Christian
teachings about marriage, family and human sexuality.”
“It was a great blessing to welcome Hudson Byblow to our diocese to share his story and proclaim the fullness of truth on the virtue of chastity,”
said Jim Havens, General Manager of The Station of the Cross Catholic Radio Network.
“In our time, when grave lies about human sexuality have largely captured the culture, and have even gained a strong foothold within the human element
of the Church, faithful lay-led events such as this are no longer merely beneficial, they have become necessary,” Havens said.
Local pro-life leader John White said, “In his talk, ‘Something more beautiful,’ not only did we hear about the mercy of Jesus Christ, we also felt it through the story of Hudson Byblow. Once feeling inadequate and not one of the boys, he is now a leader of men. He leads them to Christ.”
Byblow is a teacher and public speaker. He shares his journey from feeling like he didn’t belong and that he must be “gay” (and then transgender) to
joyfully living a life of chastity in the freedom of Christ.
