If it would not cause scandal or confusion among other Catholics, ‘a transsexual, even one who has undergone hormone treatment and gender reassignment surgery, may receive baptism under the same conditions as other faithful,’ said a document from the Vatican’s Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith.

The Roman Catholic Church, started by the Roman Empire on or around 325 AD, has for the past 1,700 years claimed to be the only ‘authorized representative of Jesus Christ’ on this Earth. A mighty big claim to say the least. But leaving that aside for just a moment, you will take note of the fact that just about everything they stand for goes against what is revealed to us in the pages of the Holy Bible. Such is the case with the latest edict of Pope Francis as he continues to create his affirming church.

“For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.” Acts 20:29-31 (KJB)

If Jesus were walking the Earth in His earthly ministry today, He absolutely would minister to the LGBTQ+ people including the transgender and the transsexuals. He would tell them that their sin, like all sin, needs to be repented of, and He would invite them to trust in Him as their Saviour. But He wouldn’t for one second confirm anyone in the sins of the LGBTQ+ Movement, He would compare what they were doing to Sodom and Gomorrah who were destroyed for doing such things. The Roman Catholic Church is a lot of things, but being the church started by Jesus Church is not something they can claim.

Vatican: Trans persons can be baptized as Catholics, serve as godparents

FROM THE NATIONAL CATHOLIC REPORTER: The document, signed Oct. 31 by Pope Francis and by Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández, prefect of the dicastery, was posted in Italian on the office’s website Nov. 8. A note published with it said the document was a response to a letter submitted in July by Bishop José Negri of Santo Amaro, Brazil, “containing some questions about the possible participation in baptism and weddings by transexual persons and homo-affective persons.”

The questions about weddings involved whether trans persons or other LGBTQ+ persons could be witnesses at a Catholic wedding. The response to both questions was that “there is nothing in current universal canonical legislation that prohibits” either from serving as a witness at a Catholic marriage.

Responses to the questions about baptism were longer, more nuanced and urged pastoral prudence to minister to the people in question, safeguard the sacrament and prevent scandal.

Whether deciding to baptize a person or to permit him or her to serve as a godparent, “due pastoral prudence demands that every situation be wisely pondered, in order to safeguard the sacrament of baptism and especially its reception, which is a precious good to be protected, since it is necessary for salvation,” the document said.

Special care must be taken, it said, when “there are doubts about the objective moral situation in which the person finds him- or herself, or about his or her subjective dispositions toward grace.”

The church teaches that when baptism is received without repentance for serious sins, it said, he or she receives the “sacramental character” but not “sanctifying grace.”
The Catechism of the Catholic Church, the Vatican’s note said, affirms that “this configuration to Christ and to the Church, brought about by the Spirit, is indelible, it remains forever in the Christian as a positive disposition for grace, a promise and guarantee of divine protection, and as a vocation to divine worship and to the service of the Church.” READ MORE
