Intricately woven by the Lord
A pastoral reflection on gender by the bishops of England and Wales
The Catholic Bishops of England and Wales have issued a pastoral reflection on gender, highlighting the teaching of the Church but stressing that accompanying those struggling with gender dysphoria is “a complex but essential pastoral task.”
Executive Summary
The human person, intricately woven in secret, by a loving God.
The wonder of the human person is grounded in the mystery of God who, as the psalmist relates, formed us and knows the depths of who we are. (Ps. 139:13-15). The image of God, shines forth in every person and is with this in mind that the Bishops, building on the statement issued in April 2018, offer this pastoral reflection.
