"Vatican Warns Against Gender Fluidity and Surrogacy as Threats to Human Dignity"

The Vatican released a new declaration, Dignitas infinita, which criticizes gender fluidity as a temptation to make oneself God and opposes gender reassignment surgery, while distinguishing it from procedures for genital abnormalities. It also condemns surrogacy as a violation of women's and children's dignity, reaffirms its stance on abortion and euthanasia, and denounces violence against women. The document, approved by Pope Francis, also addresses issues such as poverty, migrants, and homosexuality, with the Vatican's doctrinal office including these themes in its assessment of threats to human dignity.

"Pope Francis Urges Worldwide Ban on Surrogacy, Denouncing Exploitation"

Pope Francis called for a universal ban on surrogacy, labeling it as "deplorable" and based on the exploitation of women and children. He emphasized that a child should never be the basis of a commercial contract and urged the international community to prohibit the practice universally. The Catholic Church has long opposed surrogacy and in vitro fertilization, citing ethical concerns. This stance aligns with the Pope's previous strong positions on issues such as abortion and LGBTQ+ rights, despite facing opposition within the church for his more progressive approaches.
