While Pope Francis is usually at least somewhat in line with President Joe Biden’s views on sensitive subjects like abortion, that changed this week on the gender issue after a highly anticipated report from The Vatican was published
According to The Hill, “the Vatican labeled gender-mutilation surgeries as a grave threat to human dignity Monday,” sparking outrage among radical progressives around the world.
The Vatican placed the issue as a threat as severe to humanity as “abortion, war, human trafficking and violence against women.”
It was noted that the report, called “Infinite Dignity,” took a more “conservative stance” on the subject, which wasn’t totally in line with the pope’s often-radical and unprecedented views on such issues.
The bombshell report was reportedly five years in the making.
The Hill noted:
The document cited Francis’s teaching of “the need to respect the natural order of the human person,” and the need to “protect our humanity, and this means, in the first place, accepting it and respecting it as it was created.”
The document specifically called out gender-mutilation surgeries, saying, “It follows that any sex-change intervention, as a rule, risks threatening the unique dignity the person has received from the moment of conception.”

Notably, the document carved out a small exception, saying that it didn’t apply to those born with “gender abnormalities,” which are often addressed via surgery later in life.
Pope Francis is undoubtedly taking fire for the document’s contents, as it veers off course of his previous takes on various LGBTQ issues as they concern Catholics.
In addition to condemning gender-mutilation surgeries, The Vatican also strongly condemned surrogate pregnancies, going as far as labeling surrogacy one of the “grave violations of human dignity.”
The Hill explained:
The document said surrogacy turns a child into “a mere object” and condemned the practice as “deplorable” and one that “represents a grave violation of the dignity of the woman and the child, based on the exploitation of situations of the mother’s material needs,” adding, “A child is always a gift and never the basis of a commercial contract.”
Various Catholic organizations that prioritize LGBTQ issues torched The Vatican and the pope over the document.
The report received mixed reactions across social media, with many saying it’s about time, and others who were furious over its contents.
