The Vatican on Monday issued a declaration, “Dignitas Infinita, ” on human dignity, warning that the practice of surrogacy, transgender surgeries, and gender theory are contrary to human dignity.
“ In the face of so numerous violations of human dignity that really threaten the future of the human family, the Church encourages the development of the respect of every human people, regardless of their physical, emotional, cultural, social, and religious features, ” the report says. The Church does this with faith, knowing that the Risen Christ, who has thoroughly revealed the important respect of every man and woman, will be able to accomplish this. ”
The Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith produced a five-year project that confirms Catholic Church training on the subjects, and the title of the file reads “Infinite Dignity.” It addresses a number of contentious issues that have entered the social circle, including infertility.
The Church also takes a position against infertility, which renders the incredibly deserving child into a simple object, according to the document.
“First and all, the exercise of surrogacy violates the integrity of the child, ” it continues. “Indeed, every infant possesses an immaterial respect that is obviously expressed—albeit in a special and distinguished way—at every phase of his or her career: from the moment of conception, at conception, growing up as a boy or girl, and becoming an adult.
The child has the right to live a life that demonstrates both the dignity of the giver and the receiver because of this unalienable dignity, the document furthers. It also includes the right to a fully human ( and not artificially induced ) birth.
Additionally, it addresses “critical issues present in gender theory, ” warning that it “intentionally denies the greatest possible difference between living things: sexual difference.” ”
According to the Vatican document,” This fundamental difference is not only the greatest imaginable difference, but it is also the most beautiful and powerful of them.” “ In the male-female couple, this difference achieves the most marvelous of reciprocities. The arrival of new people in the world becomes the source of that miracle that never ceases to surprise us. ”
As for attempted sex-change operations, “Dignitas Infinita” emphasizes that the “dignity of the body cannot be considered inferior to that of the person as such. According to the Catholic Church’s Catechism, the human body is considered to be in the same category as God’s creation. ’ ”
“Any sex-change intervention, as a rule, risks threatening the unique dignity the person has received from the moment of conception, ” the document states. This does not imply that a person who has genital abnormalities that are present at birth or develop later may choose to seek the assistance of medical professionals to fix these abnormalities. However, in this instance, such a medical procedure would not, as intended, constitute a sex change. ”
