Pope Francis Denounces Surrogacy and Gender-Affirming Surgery
Condemns Threats to Traditional Values
In a recent address to the Vatican's Pontifical Academy of Sciences, Pope Francis denounced surrogacy and gender-affirming surgery as major threats to the traditional family structure and human dignity.
The Pope emphasized the importance of protecting the sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman, stating that any attempt to redefine it goes against the natural order created by God.
Condemnation of Surrogacy
Pope Francis condemned surrogacy as a form of "exploitation" that undermines the dignity of both the woman carrying the child and the child itself. He argued that it violates the natural bond between a mother and her child and can lead to serious psychological and emotional consequences.
Rejection of Gender-Affirming Surgery
The Pope also rejected gender-affirming surgery as a legitimate solution to gender dysphoria. He stressed that human sexuality is a gift from God and that any attempt to alter it is a form of self-mutilation.
Conclusion
Pope Francis's address has sent a clear message that the Catholic Church will not tolerate any threats to its traditional values. His condemnation of surrogacy and gender-affirming surgery has sparked controversy but has also reinforced the Church's commitment to upholding the sanctity of the family and the dignity of human life.
