FTC Sues WPATH as Catholic Bishops Challenge Transgender Deception on Children
The National Catholic Register reports that on June 17, 2026, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission sued the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH) for allegedly making “false and deceptive claims” that misled parents about the risks of transgender medical interventions for children. The article notes that the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops had previously urged the FTC to investigate such claims in October 2025, expressing concern that parents were not informed of risks and were being told the services are “lifesaving.” The article quotes Joseph Meaney of the National Catholic Bioethics Center stating WPATH operates as “more of a pro-transgender activist organization than an objective healthcare association,” and Father Tadeusz Pacholczyk warning that “science itself lacks qualifications to fully address and answer some of the most important ethical questions of our day, especially those related to the dignity of the human person.” That the civil authority must now intervene to stop the mutilation of children merely confirms that the conciliar sect’s silence and complicity in this evil has been total and catastrophic.
