Vatican Condemns Gender-Affirming Surgeries and Surrogacy
TL;DR Summary
The Vatican released a doctrine declaring transgender surgeries as an affront to God and surrogacy as a violation of human dignity, stating that a person's sex at birth is a gift from God and that gender theory risks making oneself God. The doctrine also discusses issues of poverty, abortion, and the death penalty, and has sparked concern among LGBTQ+ activists who fear a step back on transgender and same-sex rights despite recent gestures of inclusivity from Pope Francis.
