The Vatican on Monday declared gender-affirming surgery and surrogacy as grave violations of human dignity, putting them on par with abortion and euthanasia as practices that reject God’s plan for human life.
The Vatican’s doctrine office issued “Infinite Dignity,” a 20-page declaration that has been in the works for five years. After substantial revision in recent months, it was approved March 25 by Pope Francis, who ordered its publication.
In its most eagerly anticipated section, the Vatican repeated its rejection of “gender theory,” or the idea that one’s gender can be changed. It said God created man and woman as biologically different, separate beings, and said people must not tinker with that plan or try to “make oneself God.”
“It follows that any sex-change intervention, as a rule, risks threatening the unique dignity the person has received from the moment of conception,” the document said.
And if anyone knows about violating human dignity, it’s the Pope.
But touching little kids was definitely part of the plan.
Remember kids: this is the leftwing darling good Pope.
Religion, not even once.
More of a liberal darling ya? Pretty sure the left is anti-pope in general.
I would basically be fine with the Pope if he stopped the child fucking. The bar is pretty low. I try to have a bit of empathy for the elderly not being very progressive.
This pope has always been nothing but a PR figurehead, he says nice platitudes, calls gay people friends, and everyone seems to buy his bullshit. Meanwhile, before he was Pope, he was a bigot, misogynistic, antiquated asshole. All the inclusive things he says are nothing but marketing.
You know what else violates human dignity? Shuffling around pedo priests so they get away with their abuses. Refusing to meet with or compensate victims of the clergy. Telling clergy not to cooperate with police etc. That’s what violates human dignity
You know what really violates human dignity? Being raped by a priest and then having the church cover it up.

I can’t say I really understand the argument against surrogacy they’re making here. It seems like the same argument would mean that adoption shouldn’t be allowed either. Their other argument on the matter seems to be that abuse of a system means a system should be eliminated, which is an interesting argument for the Catholic Church to make.
I think their skydaddy logic is it can’t be done without discarding eggs and as we all know each egg has a soul.
Meanwhile they eat eggs during lent.
Funny I felt a lot less dignity without gender affirming surgery.
And on a bitchier note, my genitals may be handmade, but I’m allowed to use them.
the vatican can blast this dick
They’d only be interested if you were a minor
Projecting as usual, are we?
No it’s not, but being abused by a priest sure as hell is.
I think offloading one’s morality to a patriarchal power-hungry cartel is an embarrassment to human dignity, but you know what I do about it?
Let people live the one life they have in whatever way they want so long as it doesn’t hurt anyone.
It’s not anyone else’s job to force their idea of dignity on people, but I guess the Catholic Church isn’t known to stop their clergy from being forced onto unwilling targets.
“Organization that has repeatedly violated human dignity by organizationally exploiting children for sexual purposes (when not outright abusing and murdering them for being the wrong color), and brutally oppressing those who it declares carrying the sin of “wrong think”, thinks its allowed to have an actual opinion on the very concept of human dignity, much less what adult individuals pursue to obtain their image of it”
Diderot said “Men will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest”. About time , if you ask me.
Not holding my breath, but I’d love to see a day when religious leaders run out of followers.
