Justice Served: Unveiling the Names of Brianna Ghey’s Teenage Killers

The perpetrators responsible for the murder of trans schoolgirl Brianna Ghey, identified as Scarlett Jenkinson and Eddie Ratcliffe, both 16, have been publicly named as they receive life sentences for their heinous crime. Mrs Justice Yip revealed their identities after lifting the anonymity order, given the severity of their actions. Throughout the trial, the duo had been referred to as Girl X and Boy Y, with their disturbing shared interest in violence, torture, and serial killers highlighted during court proceedings. Their joint planning of “dark fantasies” was a chilling aspect discussed by the jury. At the time of Brianna's tragic murder on February 11 last year, Jenkinson and Ratcliffe, both 15 then, had compiled a “kill list” that included four other teenagers. During the sentencing at Manchester Crown Court, Brianna's father, Peter Spooner, expressed his devastation, describing Jenkinson and Ratcliffe as “pure evil.” In his victim impact statement, he remarked, “Now...

National Catholic Magazine ‘Newsmaker of 2023’ Is Jeannine Gramick, The LGBTQ+ Catholic Advocate

There are many ways in which the Catholic Church of 2023, now more than 10 years into Pope Francis’ papacy, looks very different from the Catholic Church of 2013. But this year we have seen extraordinary, if tentative, movement in one area in particular: how the Catholic Church includes and ministers to its LGBTQ+ members. Things have happened in the past 12 months that would have once seemed the work of a novelist untethered from reality. In February, days before a trip to the Democratic Republic of the Congo and South Sudan, Pope Francis condemned the continuing criminalization of homosexuality in some African countries. However, over the past five decades of American Catholic experience, perhaps no single person has had the kind of impact on our LGBTQ+ community members as Loretto Sr. Jeannine Gramick. She has borne the scars of abuse by church authorities with uncommon dignity. When the Vatican in 2000 pressured Gramick’s first religious congregation, the School Sisters of Notre Dame, to order her to cease speaking publicly about her LGBTQ+ ministry, she simply moved to another congregation, and, again, kept going. This October, Francis and Gramick met in person at the Vatican. Gramick made sure to alter the arrangement of the room to slide her chair a little closer to the pope’s. We cannot say exactly what has made Francis more open and aware this year of the needs of LGBTQ+ Catholics. But certainly, that sister scooching her chair forward has had an outsized impact.

Federal Judge Says DeSantis Spread Misinformation To Get Anti Trans Restrictions

A federal judge who heard a lawsuit challenging Florida 's restrictions on gender-affirming care says Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis repeatedly spread false information to push through policies that would limit access to various transition-related treatments. U.S. Judge Robert Hinkle, of the Northern District of Florida, made the remarks during the final day of a trial, finding that Florida health authorities and DeSantis initially cast the state's law barring minors from accessing gender-affirming treatments as a necessary step to prevent children from being mutilated. But, Hinkle said, the law actually prevents transgender individuals from accessing any health care treatments that affirm their gender identity. The restrictions on gender-affirming care were first enacted in March after the Florida Board of Medicine and Florida Board of Osteopathic Medicine approved rules to limit the accessibility of hormonal and surgical interventions. DeSantis subsequently signed a bill in May...
