Pastor Jason Winslade's affair with Brendan Malone, a Catholic, in the fight against abortion is no mere collaboration; it’s a theological betrayal that trades the true gospel for a compromised alliance. Scripture thunders, “Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers” (2 Corinthians 6:14). Like mismatched oxen straining at a plow, Jason’s entanglement with Malone, whose Catholic theology clings to Mary, purgatory, and penance, can only lead to spiritual ruin and a ministry that will not be blessed. Hence abortion laws have only got worse while these two have been folicking about. Jason’s flirtation with Rome threatens to undermine the very truth he’s sworn to preach and the unborn he desires to rescue.

​Like most affairs, usually they begin with a discontentment with the people we are supposed to be yoked with. God’s church—Jason's true yoke-fellows—have failed to love their unborn neighbours adequately and have therefore failed to confront abortion with gospel clarity. So Jason, instead of remaining steadfast to scripture and obeying God's commands, he compromised and traded Christ's gospel power for a seat with Rome. He could have worked within God's providence, but Rome has providence too and its providence comes with more donors and more people who will march the street, so the compromise is made and the affair begins

Some defend Jason, shrugging, “It’s not ministry; we’re just united against abortion.” That’s a lie.​ Abortion is not just a social issue; it is sin, a grievous rebellion against the God who knits life in the womb (Psalm 139:13). Every terminated pregnancy is an act of murder, a defiance of the sixth commandment, “Thou shall not murder” (Exodus 20:13). Sin, and therefore abortion, by its nature, separates humanity from a holy God, and its only remedy is the gospel—the good news that Christ’s death and resurrection provide atonement for those who repent and believe (Romans 3:23-25). This is not just politics; this is ministry. Jesus declared, “Apart from me you can do nothing” (John 15:5)—nothing eternal, nothing that lasts. Partnering in ministry with those who reject sola scriptura and justification by faith alone dilutes the gospel’s power.

The Reformation wasn’t a casual disagreement; it was a war against Rome’s false gospel. Martin Luther roared, “The righteousness of God is revealed in the gospel, received by faith alone, not by works, as the Papists falsely teach.” John Calvin condemned Rome for “corrupting” justification with works. Charles Spurgeon called the Church of Rome a tool of “hell’s mischief.” These giants of our faith drew a line in the sand, and Jason, as a Reformed pastor, should stand firmly on their side. Yet, he’s soo entangled himself with Rome he has found himself praising the catholics instead of rebuking them. Below is Jason's recommendation of Brendan Malone on his website Lifenet
