Vatican Releases 'Dignitas Infinita' Document Addressing Modern Ethical Issues

The Vatican's comprehensive document reiterates the church's stance on gender theory, surrogacy, and other ethical concerns, emphasizing the dignity of human life.

The Vatican issued 'Dignitas Infinita,' a document developed over five years, outlining its position on modern ethical issues including gender theory and surrogacy.
Pope Francis approved the publication of the document, which reaffirms the church's teachings on the ontological dignity of the human person.
The document criticizes gender-affirming surgeries and surrogacy, labeling them as violations of human dignity.
Bishop Robert Barron highlighted that the document transcends political categorizations of left and right, addressing a wide range of issues from poverty to gender ideology.
The church's stance on surrogacy and in vitro fertilization is rooted in the belief that every child has the right to a fully human origin and life.
