The Vatican condemned sex change operations and surrogacy, equating them with abortion and euthanasia. The declaration reinforces traditional doctrine on gender and reproduction while demeaning LGBTQQIP2SA (abbreviated LGBTQ+) people’s dignity.
On Monday (April 8), the Vatican, officially known as the Vatican City State, an independent city-state enclaved within Rome, Italy which serves as the headquarters of the Roman Catholic Church, declared that sex change operations and surrogacy violated God’s plan for human life.
The Vatican’s doctrine office issued “Infinite Dignity,” a 20-page declaration that has been in the works for five years, The Associated Press (AP) reported.
