Transgender people can’t be baptized unless they’ve ‘repented,’ Catholic diocese says

A Catholic diocese in Michigan has instructed its pastors to deny baptism, confirmation and other sacraments to transgender and nonbinary people unless they have “repented” — possibly the first diocese in the United States to issue such a sweeping policy about those who identify with a gender other than their sex assigned at birth.
The guidance issued by the Diocese of Marquette also stipulates that transgender people may not receive Communion, in which Catholics believe the body and blood of Jesus Christ are truly present. In most circumstances, they cannot receive the anointing of the sick, which is meant to provide physical or spiritual healing to those who are seriously ill. The guidance was issued in July but only recently sparked a debate after a prominent priest and advocate for LGBTQ Catholics shared it on Twitter.
“The experience of incongruence in one’s sexual identity is not sinful if it does not arise from the person’s free will, nor would it stand in the way of Christian Initiation,” reads the document. “However, deliberate, freely chosen and manifest behaviors to redefine one’s sex do constitute such an obstacle.”

The Catholic Church should fix their pedo problem before they go saying who can and can’t be baptized.

No, the church should do both

Then they can go over to the Episcopal Church and get baptized. (And given how the membership is declining there, they can use all the help they can get.)
Most Protestant churches -- specifically, those in the fundamentalist and evangelical camps, along with a large number of the Pentecostal/charismatic ones -- won't baptize them either.

Hopefully the Catholic church makes the same determination regarding those who support abortion.

I can't wait for all the athiest trannies to be outraged at the opinions of a religion they don't believe in.

This entire “transgender” debate is a dividing line for both our culture and nation. Are we going to align with hysteria and barbaric witch-doctory or with reason and science?
Progressivism is a cult of ritualistic death and destruction — indeed many of the core tenets of progressivism are increasingly rooted in child sacrifice. There really is no other way to describe it.

So should the public school system which takes billions in taxpayers dollars.

I don’t think it really matters. There is no way someone that believes in changing their assigned birth believes in God anyway.

Don’t know for sure it’s a sin, but personally believe it’s a mental illness and contributes nothing positive to families and society

This is what happens to churches when they stray from their traditional spirituality and give in to the secular passions of their human leaders and congregants.

Repent for what? They're mentally ill. Do we expect schizophrenics to repent?

Right. That’s why I said this impacts 0 actual Catholics but Twitter “allies” will predictably go bonkers

Pope Francis can't wait to weigh in on this, I'm sure

Not a LGBTQRSTUV guy but the Catholic Church really should periodically pipe down on public ethical/moral commentary. Maybe get their own house in order first.

And for what? Less than 1% of the population?
Again…inmates running the asylum.

As it should be.
