Pope Francis did something not very usual and yesterday released a statement (7), called “Dignitas Infinita”, in which he forcefully defended the dogma and doctrine of the Catholic Church without trying to “improve” or “modernize” it.
Christians around the world celebrated him, but not – obviously – the false Catholic Joe Biden.
The president of the United States, defined as a “cafeteria Catholic”, who chooses which parts of the teaching to respect, had to side with the trans indoctrination on the pontiff – as one would expect.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked Monday about Pope Francis’ statement condemning gender theory and affirming President Biden’s support for the “transgender community.”
Fox News reported:
“A journalist pressed Jean-Pierre about the Pope’s document on Monday, which formally reaffirms and expands the Catholic Church’s assertion that attempts to alter an individual’s immutable gender are ultimately misguided attempts to play God. Jean -Pierre declined to say what Biden thought of the document specifically, but added that he supports the transgender community.
‘We are pleased to see that the document… has furthered the Vatican’s call to ensure that LGBTQ+ people are protected from violence and imprisonment around the world. However, the President will continue to defend the rights, safety and dignity of the LGBTQ+ community, including transgender people here in the United States,” Jean-Pierre said in response to a reporter asking for a response to the document.”
Reporters wanted to know more specific comments about gender theory and transgender individuals, forcing KJP to try to walk a tightrope.
“I will be very careful. The role of the president is to discuss the internal politics of the Church, it is not his role, so I will be very careful in this case,” Jean-Pierre said. “But I can speak to the position of the president, and it has always been very clear on the importance of protecting or having protections for the transgender community and the broader LGBTQ+ community, and that has been very clear from day one of his administration.”
“Infinite Dignity”, addressed a dozen contemporary issues through the lens of Scripture and Church teaching.
These include abortion, human trafficking, poverty, euthanasia and the death penalty, among others.
The name of the declaration is Latin for “Infinite Dignity”, and it was released after five years of development by the Holy Office, focusing on threats to human dignity in the modern world.
“’With regards to gender theory, the scientific coherence of which is the subject of extensive debate among experts, the Church recalls that human life in all its dimensions, both physical and spiritual, is a gift from God,’ we read in the document. «This gift must be welcomed with gratitude and placed at the service of good. Desiring personal self-determination, as gender theory prescribes, outside of this fundamental truth that human life is a gift, is equivalent to giving in to the ancient temptation to make oneself God, entering into competition with the true God of revealed love to men. us in the Gospel’”.
Pope Francis, for once, confronted the “most dangerous ideological colonizations” in the world.
“The document continues: ‘Another important aspect of gender theory is that it aims to deny the greatest possible difference that exists between living beings: sexual difference. This fundamental difference is not only the greatest difference imaginable, but it is also the most beautiful and most powerful of all. In the man-woman couple, this difference achieves the most wonderful of reciprocities. It thus becomes the source of that miracle that never ceases to surprise us: the arrival of new human beings into the world.”

If the White House correspondents were not concerned, the document also speaks of the Church’s condemnation of abortion and Francis’ harsh criticism of surrogate pregnancies, for which he has asked for a worldwide ban.
