Fox News
Brother Christian Matson, 39, a Catholic monk in Kentucky, has come out publicly as transgender and says he is the first person in his position to ever do so.
Michael Dorgan is a writer for Fox News Digital and Fox Business.
"On Pentecost Sunday, Brother Christian Matson, a professed hermit in the Diocese of Lexington, has made it public that he is a transgender person," the diocese said. Pentecost Sunday is the day on which the Holy Spirit descended upon early Christians, the Bible teaches. You can send tips to michael.dorgan@fox.com and follow him on Twitter @M_Dorgan.
Matson converted to Catholicism in 2010, four years after transitioning while in college, Matson told Religion News Service (RNS) last week ahead of the pending announcement. In 2022, Matson took vows as a hermit under Bishop John Stowe of the Diocese of Lexington in Kentucky. Stowe was aware of Matson being trans, according to the outlet.
