New Vatican document lists ‘grave violations’ of human dignity - Vatican News

The Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith’s new document 'Dignitas infinita' took five years to complete, and builds on the papal magisterium of the ...

This transphobic, anti-gender theory, anti-abortion doctrine of theirs has me completely done with them.

I’m not a rageaholic, but you wouldn’t know it when I heard this story come on my news feed. Profanities that came out of me were full-throated, long-winded, and unbecoming.

I was raised Catholic and for a long time since they decided to bless same-sex marriages I was okay with the Catholic Church but what do you know? Just like that. Now I’m anti-Catholic.

They’re basically saying that everyone is made perfect in God’s image and that by changing your sex your violating that perfection and somehow violating your own dignity? Like, they’re trying to say that changing your gender is separating yourself from your soul somehow? I’m done with these people.

Here is a link to the actual document that they produced. Would you believe it took him 5 years to come up with this garbage?

Forgive me if this is the wrong place to post this.

    I’ve been done with them for most of my life by now but I really didn’t think they could sound much more bigoted, at least not this loudly. Joke’s on me, I guess! This tacitly endorses several major human rights issues going on right now.

    They’ve been saying the quiet part out loud for a while when it comes to gay people while also trying here and there to pay lip service to them since it’s not as socially acceptable to hate on that particular minority anymore. This though, is as official and hateful a middle finger as it gets with no punches pulled, particularly at gender diverse folks. At this point I can only hope it leads to more followers realizing the institution is rotten to the core and distancing themselves from them, much like yourself.

      I think we’re really gets me is that they’re trying to play both sides right? They’re willing to have priests bless gay marriages but that’s as far as it’ll go. They stand up for human rights… until it comes to abortion, surrogacy, and bodily autonomy.

      They’re just hell-bent on being on the wrong side of history.

        Yeah, at the of the day whatever they claim comes from dogma is king so being gay/women having bodily autonomy will always be considered some form of sin, regardless of how much they try to be “welcoming” to the people whose actions they claim are inherently sinful.

        As a queer person I’m definitely biased, but I’ve always seen acts like those as empty gestures, a mockery of what actual empathy and acceptance are supposed to be. I just don’t see how those can truly flourish within organized religion as I’ve known it, my way or the highway is how it all works by design so it’s a lost cause as far as I’m concerned.
