News that Trump has signed an executive order that mandates adherence to the biological reality of two sexes, rather than multiple genders, has been welcomed Ethics and Public Policy Center boss, Ryan Anderson, a leading Catholic thinker in the US.

The author of the book “When Harry Met Sally: Responding to the Transgender Moment” posted “Thank you @realdonaldtrump” and added: “Does this mean Amazon will be selling my book again?” Sale of his book had been banned by Amazon.

Anderson underscored his point by also quoting Martin Luther King Jr., who said: “A just law is a man-made code that squares with the moral law or the law of God. An unjust law is a code that is out of harmony with moral law. To put it in terms of St. Thomas Aquinas: An unjust law is a human law that is not rooted in eternal law and natural law.”

Another leading Catholic thinker who welcomed some of Trump’s early decisions is University of Notre Dame professor, Patrick Deneen. He said: “We have been living under a lawless regime for quite some time,” referring to the outgoing Biden administration and praising the new president for a “common sense” approach to public policy.
