Catholic News Agency reports on November 13, 2025, that the “U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops” passed a directive forbidding transgender surgeries at “Catholic” hospitals. The article claims this measure “preserves the integrity of the human body” by prohibiting procedures that “aim to transform sexual characteristics,” citing the 2024 Vatican document *Dignitas Infinita*. The “Catholic Health Association” applauds the move as consistent with “clinical practices” that treat transgender-identifying individuals “with dignity and respect” while refusing interventions absent an “underlying condition.” This bureaucratic gesture masks five decades of doctrinal treason and collaboration with the culture of death.
Too Little, Too Late: A Half-Century of Complicity in Bodily Desecration
The directive’s prohibition of surgical mutilations—mutilationes corporis humani (mutilations of the human body)—comes 50 years too late, after countless irreversible damages inflicted on souls and bodies under the watch of these same “bishops.” As Pius XII condemned in Allocution to Midwives (1951): “Direct sterilization… is forbidden by divine law, natural and positive”. Yet the conciliar sect’s hospitals have until now practiced chemical sterilization through puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones—equally grave violations of natural law never mentioned in this directive. The silence exposes calculated complicity: By condemning only surgical interventions while ignoring pharmaceutical mutilations, these pseudo-shepherds perpetuate the very evils they feign to oppose.
The Poisonous Root: Dignitas Infinita as Modernist Trojan Horse
The appeal to Bergoglio’s 2024 document Dignitas Infinita reveals the bankruptcy of the directive. This modernist manifesto claims to defend human dignity while systematically undermining it through:
“all attempts to obscure reference to the ineliminable sexual difference between man and woman”
—a phrase dripping with ambiguity. As St. Pius X warned in Pascendi Dominici Gregis (1907), modernists use orthodox-sounding language to mask heresy. The document’s simultaneous endorsement of “accompaniment” and refusal to condemn civil unions creates theological loopholes wide enough to drive a Pride parade through. By anchoring their directive in this contaminated source, the “bishops” ensure its eventual collapse into full-blown gender ideology.
Natural Law versus the Gnostic Revolt Against Creation
The directive’s shallow appeal to “the fundamental order of the human body” ignores the philosophia perennis (perennial philosophy) articulated by St. Thomas Aquinas: “The soul is the form of the body” (Summa Theologiae I, q.76, a.1). Transgenderism constitutes metaphysical rebellion against God’s creation—a gnostic denial that the body participates in the soul’s ontological reality. Yet the “bishops” reduce this demonic ideology to a medical “condition” requiring “appropriate resources.” Contrast this with Pope Pius XI’s uncompromising stance in Casti Connubii (1930): “No reason, however grave, may be put forward by which anything intrinsically against nature may become conformable to nature and morally good.” The absence of excommunication for perpetrators and collaborators in these hospitals proves the directive’s worthlessness.
Catholic Health Association: Wolves in Sheep’s Clothing
The article quotes the “Catholic Health Association” claiming these rules “reaffirm the Church’s teaching.” This organization—a key promoter of the 2010 ObamaCare mandate requiring contraception coverage—has no authority to interpret Catholic doctrine. Its statement that Catholic hospitals “do not allow for medical interventions that alter sexual characteristics absent an underlying condition” opens the door to future acceptance of such mutilations with “underlying conditions.” This is classic modernism: Establish a principle only to destroy it through exceptions. As Leo XIII decreed in Testem Benevolentiae (1899), such double-speak constitutes “the heresy of Americanism”—the adaptation of doctrine to corrupt societal norms.
Omissions That Condemn: Silence on Mortal Sin and Eternal Consequences
Nowhere does the directive:
1. Declare transgender surgeries intrinsically evil acts under Veritatis Splendor 80 (John Paul II, 1993—itself a compromised document)
2. Warn medical practitioners they risk eternal damnation for participating
3. Mandate reparations for victims of “Catholic” hospitals’ past mutilations
4. Condemn the civil laws enabling these atrocities
This silence proves the directive’s authors remain captive to the conciliar sect’s foundational error: The cult of man has replaced the worship of God (Paul VI, Closing Speech of Vatican II, December 7, 1965). As Pius XI taught in Quas Primas (1925): “When once men recognize, both in private and in public life, that Christ is King, society will at last receive the great blessings of real liberty, well-ordered discipline, peace and harmony.” The refusal to demand Christ’s social kingship—including the abolition of all “gender identity” laws—renders this directive spiritually inert.
A Hierarchy in Apostasy: From Negligence to Formal Cooperation
The article notes that “nearly 150 Catholic hospitals” provided transgender procedures to minors between 2019-2023. This statistic indicts the entire conciliar sect’s hierarchy. Canon 188 §4 of the 1917 Code automatically deprives officeholders who “publicly defect from the Catholic faith.” By permitting these mutilations for decades, these “bishops” have incurred latae sententiae excommunication. Their belated directive—limited to surgical interventions and ignoring chemical sterilizations—constitutes not repentance but damage control. As St. Robert Bellarmine taught: “A manifest heretic cannot be Pope” (De Romano Pontifice, II.30). How much less can manifest collaborators with child mutilation remain bishops?
The true Catholic response? Shutter all hospitals collaborating with this genocide. Establish underground clinics refusing all state licensing that mandates compliance with transgender ideology. And restore the Mandatum (Oath Against Modernism) for every medical professional—as Pius X commanded in 1910. Anything less mocks the Cross.
