Transgender people can be godparents at Roman Catholic baptisms, witnesses at religious weddings and receive baptism themselves, the Vatican's doctrinal office said on Wednesday.
The “caveat” could so easily come with qualifiers to prevent scandal or disorientation but it doesn’t.
Just like prostitution, abusiveness etc transgenderism and homosexual acts are sins. We are all sinners but we must renounce our sin when we enter the Church and try our best to live a repentant life that reflects such things. E.g. No same-sex unions or living as the opposite sex.
I’m not Catholic so this doesn’t directly affect me but it seems like an unhealthy ecumenism with sin not the sinner. With the Catholic church being so large it’s sad to see this happening. This follows after the other “innovation” of blessing same sex unions.
