Notice that the phrase sex assigned at birth is *not* included in the quote:
The sex a person is assigned at birth, the document argued, was an “irrevocable gift” from God
And is this not necessarily what the document says. And so we look at what the document does say (below) and see it uses the phrase “from the moment of conception.
People undermine not only themselves but others who hold similar ideas by criticizing what was not done. That is the level I expect fron those one the other side, let’s try to be better than they, shall we?
From the document:
Sex Change
60. The dignity of the body cannot be considered inferior to that of the person as such. The Catechism of the Catholic Church expressly invites us to recognize that “the human body shares in the dignity of ‘the image of God.’”[106] Such a truth deserves to be remembered, especially when it comes to sex change, for humans are inseparably composed of both body and soul. In this, the body serves as the living context in which the interiority of the soul unfolds and manifests itself, as it does also through the network of human relationships. Constituting the person’s being, the soul and the body both participate in the dignity that characterizes every human.[107] Moreover, the body participates in that dignity as it is endowed with personal meanings, particularly in its sexed condition.[108] It is in the body that each person recognizes himself or herself as generated by others, and it is through their bodies that men and women can establish a loving relationship capable of generating other persons. Teaching about the need to respect the natural order of the human person, Pope Francis affirmed that “creation is prior to us and must be received as a gift. At the same time, we are called to protect our humanity, and this means, in the first place, accepting it and respecting it as it was created.”[109] It follows that any sex-change intervention, as a rule, risks threatening the unique dignity the person has received from the moment of conception. This is not to exclude the possibility that a person with genital abnormalities that are already evident at birth or that develop later may choose to receive the assistance of healthcare professionals to resolve these abnormalities. However, in this case, such a medical procedure would not constitute a sex change in the sense intended here
I was commenting on what I believed to be a quote from the left-wing NYT reporter/commentator, though they won’t let me read the article without paying money. I was taking the word from a previous reply that it was an accurate quote - which does fit the usual NYT perverted position.
I was not referring to the document itself.
