If you are here you have an open mind and listened to the podcast. I want to believe that Sam on his moral teachings, especially in view of the horrors inflicted by Hamas on Oct 7, but my desire does not make it so. Thus, one should brush aside Sam's soft tones and understand the limitations of his reasoning.

The past criticisms of Sam's previous work are evident in this podcast where he gets to briefly rehash criticisms of Catholics:

Considered pedophile Priest scandal: One can argue that Catholic teaching is partially to blame for this scandal; follow the causality: by making abortion and contraceptives taboo ensures more out-of-wedlock babies and stigmatizing unmarried women, both of this ensures more children in orphanage that can be preyed upon by unhealth sexual men.

Statistics in the US; In 1980, some 18 percent of all women in the United States who gave birth were unmarried. As of 2021, the percentage of births to unmarried women has increased to 40 percent.

Making abortion and contraceptives taboo did not increase the number of out-of-wedlock babies.
