Skye reacts to recent comments by Pope Leo about the danger of assuming the church only cares about sexual morality and the backlash to his remarks from conservative evangelicals. He explains the origin and widespread acceptance of what Skye calls "crotch Christianity," why the over-correction by more progressive Christians is also problematic, and how Pope Leo points us to a healthier, more biblical vision of Christian ethics.
