Transgender Catholics — as well as a priest who welcomes them to his parish — expressed disappointment Monday with a new Vatican document rejecting the fundamental concept of changing one’s biological sex.
In essence, it was a restatement of longstanding Catholic teaching, but the dismay was heightened because recent moves by Pope Francis had encouraged some trans Catholics to hope the church might become more accepting.
The pope has welcomed a community of transgender women to his weekly general audiences. And last year, the Vatican said it’s permissible, under certain circumstances, for trans people to be baptized as Catholics and serve as godparents.
“A document like this is very hurtful to the larger LGBTQ+ community but especially to the trans community,” said Maxwell Kuzma, 32, a lifelong Catholic transgender man working as a film editor and writer in rural Ohio.
You mean the Republican Party?
You mean the same fucking political party? They’re all the same… if it’s politics it’s the same… you did not make a point there. Republicans and Democrats are the same effin thing… be original.
Ahh gee, angry at everything. How original. Have fun with the results of your protest vote.
I’m not angry at everything I just know that both political parties are playing the same game and you’re not getting anywhere with either of them
What aren’t you angry about
