In this episode of the Social Doctrine of the Church podcast, Dr. Robert Fastiggi and CMF’s Michael Vacca, J.D., talk with Fr. Paul Sullins about how gender ideology impacts the dignity of the person.
They tackle tough questions like:
- What has the Catholic Church taught on gender ideology? Has the Church’s position been adequately expressed in documents such as the 2024 declaration, Dignitas Infinita, of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith? What more needs to be done or said?
- Some people argue that the Church should accept sex-change operations because of the increased risk of suicide for those who are denied sex-transition procedures? What is your perspective as a sociologist?
- What further research still needs to be done regarding sexual transitioning?
- How are the Church’s teachings on marriage, contraception, abortion, homosexuality and gender identity related?
- Sociologically, how are sexual orientation confusion and gender identity confusion related to the decline of marriage?
- What do the Incarnation and the Eucharist suggest to us about gender identity?
