Alex Jurado (Voice of Reason) Scandal

Alex Jurado, a rising star in Roman Catholic apologetics and founder of the media platform Voice of Reason, is now facing serious allegations of moral failure, including grooming a minor and sending sexually inappropriate messages to multiple women. These revelations—as reported by Protestia—underscore the necessity of personal holiness, theological soundness, and pastoral accountability, especially for those who teach and influence others in the name of religion.

As Christians committed to the authority of Scripture and the sufficiency of Christ, we believe these events demand both clarity and compassion: clarity in discerning truth from error, and compassion for those harmed by spiritual manipulation and abuse.

Alex Jurado Allegations

Despite his rapid rise, allegations have now emerged that cast serious doubt on Jurado’s character and fitness for any spiritual leadership. Whistleblowers within the Catholic community shared screenshots showing alleged conversations between Jurado and a 14-year-old girl when he was 21 years old. These messages—many of which have been circulated publicly—show him acknowledging her youth while simultaneously describing her in sexualized terms and fantasizing about a future relationship.

In one screenshot, Jurado allegedly says he sees her as a “sexy” woman despite calling her a “child,” comments that reveal a deeply troubling and sinful mindset. The context of these conversations appears to be spiritual mentoring, further amplifying the use of his platform for this behavior. But this does not appear to be an isolated case. Allegedly least eight women have now come forward alleging that Jurado sent them flirtatious, inappropriate, or sexually explicit messages over the past year or several years. These accusations stand in direct contradiction to Jurado’s public claims—made just weeks ago on Pints With Aquinas—that he was embracing celibacy for the sake of ministry.

History of Voice of Reason

Jurado launched Voice of Reason as a Roman Catholic apologetics platform and quickly garnered a following of over half a million across YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. His CatholicSpeakers bio celebrated him as a teenage prodigy, beginning his work as a catechist at age 16—teaching not only youth but also adults in parish settings.

His public visibility increased dramatically after a formal debate in July 2024 with Reformed theologian Dr. James White. While many in the Catholic community saw the outcome as a surprising victory for the young apologist, discerning listeners recognized a rhetorical style lacking theological depth and gospel clarity. Nevertheless, the debate catapulted Jurado into national recognition.

In March 2025, he appeared on The George Janko Show, a massively popular podcast. There, Jurado shared and defended Roman Catholic doctrine in a way that reportedly persuaded even the Protestant host toward Catholic views—an episode many Catholics hailed as a historic moment in ecumenical influence. Since then, Jurado’s teachings have reportedly led “thousands” to consider or return to Roman Catholicism.

A Biblical Response to Moral Failure in Ministry

For Christians these events serve as a sobering reminder of several truths:

1. No one is above accountability.
   Regardless of age, influence, or apologetic skill, the qualifications for spiritual leadership remain fixed and uncompromising: above reproach, self-controlled, not given to sin, and morally upright (Titus 1:6–9, 1 Tim 3:1–7).

2. Moral failure often follows theological error.
   Jurado’s Roman Catholicism—centered on ecclesial authority and sacramentalism—lacks the gospel power that transforms the heart. The biblical gospel alone, received by grace through faith in Christ alone, produces lasting holiness (Gal 2:16; Heb 12:14).

3. False teachers will arise.
   Jesus warned that many would come in His name but deny Him by their works (Matt 7:15–23; Titus 1:16). The church must be vigilant, discerning not only theological error but also moral character.

4. Victims must be protected, not ignored.
   Those who raise alarms—especially vulnerable women and minors—must be heard and cared for. The church must not cover up or excuse sin in the name of reputation or unity (Prov 17:15; Eph 5:11).

Call to Prayer, Discernment, and Gospel Clarity

Let judgment begin with us

This is not the time for triumphalism or Protestant gloating. These events must lead us to deeper humility, repentance, and renewed commitment to gospel integrity in our own lives and churches.

Pray for the alleged victims—for healing, justice, and restoration. Pray also that Alex Jurado would come under conviction by the Holy Spirit and be granted true repentance, not just public damage control. Above all, pray that the true gospel of Jesus Christ would be clearly proclaimed—not a gospel of works or institutions, but one rooted in Christ alone, grace alone, and faith alone.
