The Catholic Church Never Acknowledges Others Have Rights

Catholic Bishops are in support of a Tennesse law that comes down hard on the rights of trans children and adults. The brief filed on behalf of Bishops carries on about how the Bishops and fellow travelers should not have to go to court repeatedly to ensure Biblical rules are put into law. That the rights of others might be walked upon by what the Bishops' demand never mentioned.

Heterosexual people mostly cannot understand completely homosexual attractions. Homosexual people cannot understand completely hetero. Surely with trans we are dealing with the same thing, the unexplainable. Conservative have made up this medical theory that if trans people, especially children, are prevented from deciding for themselves their gender they will be better off. Apparently, if the government decided all the Bible-thumping men in Congress are actually women the lives of these men (now women in stilettos) would be improved. This would be all the truer if some Bible verses were recited.

It remains a mystery why the Catholic Church, along with conservative Protestants, spends so much time hammering away in politics. Wouldn't it be more popular if it did what the Pope often promotes, be the pastor and listens and supports? I suppose the bigger money is in the political sphere.

I'm reading about the native peoples who live in the Americas before we European white people arrived. They had some kind of spiritual lives, perhaps many. They also had some other things figured out that still baffle white people. They, at least some of them, revered the people with uncertain genders. They were thought to be spiritual people living among the less gifted men and women. Today, trans people have an experience that can help all of us understand the mysteries of gender. 

But that gift cannot be unlocked if Catholic Bishops hold the key.
