In 2019, Räsänen criticized the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland for its involvement in an LGBT Pride event, questioning, “How does the doctrinal foundation of the Church fit in with shame and sin being raised as a matter of pride?” She referenced a Bible passage from Romans 1, which speaks on the consequences of sin. This led to her being charged with “agitation against a minority group” in 2021. Now, Räsänen’s case is set for a Finnish Supreme…
