Vatican Issues Document During Pride Month Denying Concept Of Gender Identity
< < Go Back
The Vatican department charged with overseeing Catholic education released an extensive document Monday decrying what it calls a “crisis” on whether gender can be an individual choice rather than being set by God or biology.
The document describes a culture-wide “disorientation” that serves to “cancel out” the natural difference between man and woman, as well as “destabilise the family as an institution.”
The Congregation for Catholic Education says the goal of the 31-page guide is to “support those who work in the education of young people, so as to help them address in a methodical way (and in the light of the universal vocation to love of the human person) the most debated questions around human sexuality.”
The document entitled “Male and Female He Created Them” does not deviate from traditional Catholic teaching.
