In a major announcement recently released by the Vatican, Pope Francis expressed strong principles regarding gender reassignment and gender theory. His statements sparked lively debates and raised crucial questions about human dignity and the fundamental values of modern society.
The Pope clearly stated that gender theory represented an attack on what he saw as the God-given dignity of human beings. According to him, every human being, whether unborn or not, possesses a sacred and inviolable nature, thus affirming the sanctity of each individual.
The Holy Father also addressed the issue of abortion, calling it a denial of human dignity to the most vulnerable beings. The Church strongly condemns all forms of abortion, emphasizing that it amounts to denying the very dignity of unborn human beings.
Additionally, the Vatican has drawn a parallel between abortion and surrogacy, where a woman carries a child to give it to someone else after birth. According to this statement, the child then becomes a “mere object” and the dignity of the woman is violated in the name of profit. The Catholic institution has thus taken a clear position against gender reassignment.
This document, entitled Dignitas Infinita (Infinite Dignity), was developed by the Vatican after years of preparation by the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, under the direction of Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernández.
The Pope’s statements on gender reassignment and human dignity raise essential questions about contemporary society and invite deep reflection on the fundamental values and rights of each individual. By promoting the sacredness of human life and condemning any form of violence or denial of dignity, the Vatican seeks to defend the ethical principles that underpin all of society.
