Vatican: Transgender people can’t be godparents
The Roman Catholic Church says it will not allow transgender people to become godparents.
In June, Alex Salinas, 21, a Spanish Catholic transgender man asked to be recognised as his nephew’s godfather.
According to Newsweek, his local church denied the request on the basis that being transgender is not accepted under Catholic dogma.
The decision was reversed by Bishop Rafael Zornoza Boy of the diocese of Cádiz and Ceuta, who nevertheless asked the Vatican to review the matter.
On Wednesday, the Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith ruled that the original decision was correct.
The Catholic News Agency (CNA) reported that the Vatican insisted that it is “impossible to allow” a transgender person to become a godparent.
The church explained that Salinas’ transgender status is immoral and that he “does not possess the requirement of leading a life according to the faith and in the position of godfather…”
The Catholic Church does not accept the idea that gender identity can be separate from the body that an individual is born with.
In February, Pope Francis was quoted as saying that the belief in gender theory could destroy humanity and is as dangerous as “nuclear arms” because it does “not recognise the order of creation.”
I am not surprise at all that Catholic Church will agree with homosexuality and will allow gays, lesbians and transgenders to be part of their rituals. I won’t be surprised if Pope Francis is gay, or if he was one of the priest who raped altar boys in his younger days. He is the only Pope in the history of the church who allows homosexuality. In my opinion the majority of they priest in the Roman Catholic Church are gay and paedophiles that’s why they love to have sex with innocent boys. The Catholic Church don’t allow their priest to get married, that’s why they target boys and masturbate till they drop dead and die. Martin Luther New that they were a stupid bunch, that why he took a nun got married to her and started the Lutherine Church. In any way the Pope is not God and their religion is more of a cult. All who agrees with homosexuality will burn in hell including the Pope
Take a seat u dumb fuck.
You can do and say what you like. You are irrelevant and cannot dictate who or who can’t be parents. This thing is a total wop!
What is the most revolting form of organism on this earth? The human being of course with these so called humanists like this turd in the article as well as Gandhi , Su Ky i , Teresa , Mandela and Tutu being the most repulsive of them all.
Let me see if I understand: a man offering to provide spiritual guidance and LOVE to a child in accordance with their faith and long-standing Catholic tradition, is not allowed to do so because he was born with the wrong genitalia? Is that what they’re saying? Because that’s just dumb.
@Rev Oscar Peter Bougardt – where did you get your Theology diploma? A lucky packet? Get your facts straight before entering into a debate with grown-ups, please. Specifically, look up the difference between “homosexual” and “transgendered”. Do you see now? Shall I explain it to you, you bigoted fool?
Take a hike you dork! Wonder who he thinks he is ?
