Pope’s document: Biden will continue to fight for rights, safety of LGBTQ+ community – White House

 The White House has affirmed President Joe Biden’s support
for the transgender community.

 

The development comes after Pope Francis’s declaration
condemning gender theory on Monday.

 

Fox News reports that White House press secretary, Karine
Jean-Pierre faced questions about Pope Francis’s declaration, which condemned
gender theory.

 

The Pope’s Monday document formally reaffirms and expands on
the Catholic Church’s assertion that attempts to alter an individual’s
immutable gender are ultimately misguided attempts to play God.

 

However, Jean-Pierre declined to say what Biden thought of
the document specifically, but added that he does support the transgender community.

 

“We are pleased to see that the document… furthered the
Vatican’s call to ensure that LGBTQ+ are protected from violence and
imprisonment around the world.

 

“However, the president will continue to be an advocate for
the rights, safety and dignity of the LGBTQ+ community, including transgender
people here in the U.S.,” Jean-Pierre said.

 

“What about the more specific comments about gender theory
and transgender individuals?” a reporter pressed.

 

“I’m going to be really careful. The president’s role to
litigate internal Church policy, that’s not his role, so I’m gonna be super
careful there,” Jean-Pierre said.

 

“But I can speak to the president’s stance, and he’s always
been very clear on the importance of protecting or having protections for the
transgender community and the broader LGBTQ+ community, and that’s been very
clear since day one of his administration.”

 

The  document
“Dignitas Infinita,” addressed over a dozen individual issues of the modern day
through the lens of scripture and church teaching, including abortion, human
trafficking, poverty, euthanasia, the death penalty and more.

 

The document was released after more than five years in
development by the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith (DDF) and focuses on
threats to human dignity in the modern world.
