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?

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.
I suppose eventually their karma will run over their dogma.
