The Vatican’s top doctrinal office issued a declaration on human dignity today on behalf of the pope. It addresses numerous practices which are incompatible with human dignity. Among other things, it called for the abolition of surrogacy.

In the declaration, the dicastery cautions against threats to human dignity that begin at the moment of conception, that exist in the process of procreation, and that threaten humanity toward the end of life.

The practice of surrogacy is attacked on the grounds that “the immensely worthy child becomes a mere object” in the process.

“I express my hope for an effort by the international community to prohibit this practice universally”, Pope Francis said.

As many Western nations accept gender ideology and debate whether minors should be able to access transgender drugs and surgeries, the document states that the ideology “intends to deny the greatest possible difference that exists between living beings: sexual difference.”

“This foundational difference is not only the greatest imaginable difference but is also the most beautiful and most powerful of them.”
