The War on Free Speech

Silencing Truth: The War on Free Speech in the UK

In this bold and timely episode, Dr. Marcus Peter takes aim at the escalating crackdown on free speech in the United Kingdom, as highlighted in the Deseret News report.

With piercing insight, Dr. Peter explores how this troubling trend undermines human dignity, moral responsibility, and the pursuit of truth—not just politically, but theologically and spiritually.

🔍 From Catholic teaching to natural law and classical liberalism, this episode draws on the deep well of Christian tradition and reasoned philosophy to expose the moral dangers of silencing speech in the name of ideology, security, or conformity.

💬 As Dr. Peter explains: “Freedom is not mere license—it’s the capacity to pursue truth, anchored in the good and ordered toward God.” — Inspired by CCC §1731–1733 This episode will cover:

🕊️ Catholic moral tradition on human liberty and how it demands the responsible exercise of speech

📜 Cicero, Aquinas, and John Stuart Mill on why freedom of speech is essential to civilization and justice

🚫 What happens when governments decide what can be said—and how this threatens not only democracy, but salvation history itself

📖 Scriptural insights into the call to speak the truth in love (Eph. 4:15) and to proclaim the Gospel boldly in the face of opposition (Acts 4:20).

Whether you’re Catholic, a lover of liberty, or just concerned about the future of open society, this episode will help you see the spiritual stakes of a silenced world.
