Unwanted infants in ancient Rome were abandoned outside the city walls.

Are you kidding me?

Some sports star who just literally gave birth and threw her infant in a trash can.

Deadbeat parents who don't feed, who abuse their children.

The fact that there's universal outrage.

When a child dies from starvation and neglect in the land of the free and the home of the brave,

they can be abused

and dismissed any time we need to if I had told you 10 years ago that that would be not just

happening, but it would be escalating. You would not have believed me. Did you know that abortion was a super hip and popular practice in ancient Rome?

Yep.

What did Christians in Rome do to combat abortion? Did they say,

that's wrong, but you do you? In the Roman Empire, the cultural and political norm was that the

father had to accept the child into his family when they were born. The child only gained

rights if their parent claimed

them. Sound familiar? Today, we're diving into what the culture of death looked like in ancient

Rome and how the early church prevailed against evil. You may have never heard any of these

stories before about the early church

heroes and ancient evils that we see as a renaissance in modern culture today. But how can we

stop what we're seeing if we don't remember who we are and where we came from. What does Chris and dumb mean?
