Devout Catholic’ Biden Disagrees With Pope’s Declaration That Gender Ideology Is “Deeply Harmful”

[Michie]

Vatican states that modern gender ideology is aimed at “eliminating the basis of family.”

The White House quickly responded Monday following a declaration published by the Vatican that denounces ‘gender affirming’ surgery and gender ideology as “deeply harmful,” a “violation of human dignity,” and aimed at “eliminating the basis of family.”
The 20 page declaration approved by Pope Francis outlines that a person’s gender is a “gift from God” and that any attempt at gender reassignment infringes on God’s creation.

The document further asserts that attempts to introduce new rights in relation to gender theory in recent years have “led to instances of ideological colonization,” which the Catholic Church regards as “extremely dangerous.”

“Human life in all its dimensions, both physical and spiritual, is a gift from God. This gift is to be accepted with gratitude and placed at the service of the good,” the declaration states.

It continues,”Desiring a personal self-determination, as gender theory prescribes, apart from this fundamental truth that human life is a gift, amounts to a concession to the age-old temptation to make oneself God, entering into competition with the true God of love revealed to us in the Gospel.”

The push for allowing people to identify as any gender they choose, rather than accepting the gender given to them by God denies “the greatest possible difference that exists between living beings: sexual difference,” the Church further decrees, adding that modern gender ideology “envisages a society without sexual differences, thereby eliminating the anthropological basis of the family.”

The document further clarifies that it is not possible to “separate the masculine and the feminine from God’s work of creation, which is prior to all our decisions and experiences, and where biological elements exist which are impossible to ignore.”

The Church states that only in accepting the difference between genders “each person can fully discover themselves, their dignity, and their identity.”

TAKE ACTION: Contact Bishop William Koenig at bishop@cdow.org or 302.573.3100 and demand he excommunicate Joe Biden, thereby stopping the scandal of allowing Biden to present himself as a ‘devout Catholic.’​

Man, this April 8th declaration is what the Catholic church needed. Hopefully politicians listen, and focus on the real issues, such as poverty (which the April 8th declaration by the Vatican pointed out).


Here is a summary of the article:

In an article published on April 9, 2024, Steve Watson reported that the Vatican, under Pope Francis, had issued a declaration denouncing gender affirming surgery and gender ideology as "deeply harmful," a "violation of human dignity," and aimed at "eliminating the basis of family." The document, which is 20 pages long, asserts that a person's gender is a gift from God and any attempt at gender reassignment infringes on God's creation. It also decries attempts to introduce new rights related to gender theory, which the Catholic Church views as "ideological colonization" and a threat to the anthropological basis of the family. The document emphasizes that human life is a gift from God, and we should accept it and protect our humanity. Pope Francis has previously criticized gender theory as an "ugly ideology of our times" that denies the difference between genders and eliminates the basis of the family.

The White House responded to this declaration with a statement from press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, who acknowledged that the document furthered the Vatican's call for protecting LGBTQ+ individuals from violence and imprisonment around the world. However, Jean-Pierre also affirmed President Biden's support for the rights, safety, and dignity of the LGBTQ+ community, including transgender people in the United States. A reporter asked Jean-Pierre about Biden's stance on gender theory specifically and she reiterated the president's commitment to protecting the transgender community.

The declaration and White House response sparked criticism from some commentators questioning Biden's claim to be a devout Catholic, as his stance on gender theory is in direct opposition to the Pope's condemnation of gender altering surgery for children. Others have criticized Biden for prioritizing liberal politics over God, referring to his Easter Sunday declaration of Transgender Day and his previous statements on gender theory. The controversy has led some to question why Biden has not been excommunicated from the Catholic Church for his stance on transgender issues.
