Unmasking Gender Confusion

Question:

Hello Jesse.   I agree with you on certain points, but as a nurse who has worked with the transgender community for 18years, they understand they do not become biological women, which is why the word transgender women/men is used. I can also assure you that these individuals do suffer emotionally until the issue of identity is resolved. As a Catholic woman, this issue or political opinions do not have a place on your show, which I understood was to bring people closer to God. Let us allow God, to judge these and other individuals and spare the righteous attitude that many of us develop.

Answer:

Here is the article I drew from:

http://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2015/06/09/pope-francis-slams... Francis attacks gender ideology AS DEMONIC. Why? By confusing boys and girs about nature and what nature’s God has ordained, only trouble can follow from this confusion.  

Admonishing sinners (also known as fraternal correction) is an act of mercy according to the Catholic Church.  The Catechism, paragraph 2447, says that the works of mercy are, “charitable actions by which we come to the aid of our neighbor in his spiritual and bodily necessities.”  One of the spiritual works of mercy recognized by the Church is to “admonish the sinner.”  The Catholic Encyclopedia notes, “Mercy as it is here contemplated is said to be a virtue influencing one's will to have compassion for, and, if possible, to alleviate another's misfortune.”  In referencing the work to admonish sinners, it cites Matthew 18:15, where Jesus says, “If your brother sins (against you), go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have won over your brother.”  It also notes the episode in which St. Paul publicly reprimanded St. Peter and held him accountable for the sin of hypocrisy (Galatians 2:11-14).

The overriding principle behind this entire article is this: Love the sinner, hate the sin.  We are commanded to love all, and yet we are also commanded to oppose sin.  If we can come to understand this very important distinction, we will better understand why Jesus can say, “Judge not,” and also, “Judge justly.”  The Catholic Church is the family of God. The reason we do not judge a person’s soul is because all of us are on the same boat—we’re all sinners.  The reason we judge a person’s actions is because all of us want the family on the boat to end up in heaven.  It is all based on the motive of love, which is the greatest of all virtues (1 Corinthians 13:13).
