Vatican preparing document on 'immoral tendencies': Gender theory, surrogacy and more

The Vatican announced Tuesday it is preparing to release a document examining the ethics of gender ideology and surrogate pregnancy from the perspective of human dignity.

Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández – the prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith – will be presenting the text, which he has said offers a "strong criticism of the immoral tendencies of contemporary society."

The document is expected to reaffirm the Catholic Church's established opposition to gender ideology, gender reassignment surgery and surrogate pregnancies on the basis of human dignity.
