Vatican steps closer to allowing transgender Catholics to be baptized
In the United States, the national conference of Catholic bishops rejects the idea of gender transition, causing many transgender Catholics to feel excluded.
However, on Wednesday, the Vatican released a statement with a starkly different stance, indicating that, under specific circumstances, transgender Catholics can be baptized and serve as godparents.
Francis DeBernardo, the executive director of New Ways Ministry in Maryland, which advocates for greater LGBTQ acceptance in the church, described it as a significant move toward trans inclusion, considering it “big and good news.”
The document, signed on Oct. 21 by Pope Francis and Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández, head of the Vatican’s Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, was posted on the office’s website on Wednesday, the Associated Press reported.
