The Catholic Church has released a new paper questioning modern conceptions of gender identity, the Euro News website reports today (June 11, 2019).
"Male and Female He Created Them" is the title of the piece released by the Congregation for Catholic Education and signed by Cardinal Giuseppe Versaldi.
The release comes during Gay Pride month and has drawn fierce criticism from LGBTQ groups.
The 31-page document is not signed by Pope Francis himself, but quotes the Pontiff and scripture within its argument. It calls for dialogue but it notably criticizes the modern understanding of gender, saying it is "often founded on nothing more than a confused concept of freedom in the realm of feelings and wants."
