The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops published a pastoral note on Monday condemning gender transition procedures, saying they do not 'respect the fundamental order.'
"It needs to be emphasized that 'biological sex and the socio-cultural role of sex can be distinguished but not separated.'… It is one thing to be understanding of human weakness and the complexities of life, and another to accept ideologies that attempt to sunder what are inseparable aspects of reality," the letter quotes from the pontiff."Let us not fall into the sin of trying to replace the Creator. We are creatures, and not omnipotent.
Pope Francis has been an outspoken critic of gender ideology, recently calling it"one of the most dangerous ideological colonizations." The Committee on Doctrine also specifically referenced the growing movement to allow children to undergo bodily modification as a treatment for gender dysphoria, imploring health care professionals not to proceed with such methods.
"To be sure, many people are sincerely looking for ways to respond to real problems and real suffering," the letter stated in its conclusion."Certain approaches that do not respect the fundamental order appear to offer solutions. To rely on such approaches for solutions, however, is a mistake. An approach that does not respect the fundamental order will never truly solve the problem in view; in the end, it will only create further problems.
