Bishops state transgender concerns

CATHOLIC bishops are “deeply concerned” about confusion caused by transgender ideology.

Following a meeting in Leeds, the Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales said they “recognise that there are people who do not accept their biological sex”.

While acknowledging “the idea that the individual is free to define himself or herself dominates discourse about gender… our human instinct is otherwise,” the bishops said in a statement.

They added: “We are deeply concerned that this ideology of gender is creating confusion.”
