AFN recently reported that a church in Montreal has been fined $2,500 for hosting a service featuring Sean Feucht, a worship leader who has been declared "persona non grata" by at least six Canadian cities for his outspokenness about the Bible's teachings against homosexuality.
At the Hispanic church in Montreal, police did nothing when protesters showed up and set off a couple of smoke bombs.
"Sean Feucht is really being persecuted for being a Christian – period," says Dr. Charles McVety, president of Canada Christian College and the Institute for Canadian Values. "They then demonize him by calling him MAGA, as if that's some kind of wickedness that deserves to be punished. And then they drum up all kinds of false charges of him being a homophobe."
"This is nonsense," McVety adds, wondering what Feucht has ever said that is homophobic.
He says this persecution flies in the face of Canada's Constitution, which "guarantees freedom of religion and freedom of conscience and freedom of expression."
"Christ promised all of us that we would be hated, that we would be persecuted for [His] name's sake," McVety remembers. "That persecution is alive and well in Canada."
