Report: Spanish Bishop Changes Mind, Permits Transgendered Person to Be Godparent
Catholic Culture ^ | 8/7/15

Posted on 08/08/2015 11:04:36 AM PDT by marshmallow

Reversing a decision made less than two weeks before, Bishop Rafael Zornoza Boy of Cádiz and Ceuta has determined that a 21-year-old woman who identifies herself as a man may serve as a godparent at the baptism of her nephew, Diario de Cadiz reported.

The woman, Alex Salinas, has not yet undergone a sex-change operation, according to previous Spanish media reports.

Salinas said that the priest of the parish in which the baptism will take place told her that the bishop realized he had made a mistake and that Salinas could serve as a godparent.

So bishops no longer care about the souls of the children they baptize.

Drag queens ok but divorced spouses barred from communion...doesn’t seem right especially if those who divorced repented and now live out the faith.

There is no such thing as “transgendered.” Rather they are people who have a mental disorder.

Papa Tango is well known for his feeble attempts at surreptitious phone calls.

What better person could their be for the CHURCH to endorse to raise the child in the ways of our Lord and Savior in the case of the parents untimely demise than a sexualy confused, pre-mutilated pervert who believes that God got it wrong?

This bishop said he got “counseling” from another bishop, but he won’t say whom. Maybe the Bishop of Rome, who had already undermined another Spanish priest by inviting a “transsexual” in the priest’s parish to visit him (the pope) at the Vatican. The Pope also forced the bishop of the diocese to pay for the trip.
