38:15Now PlayingThe Vatican has made a significant stride in inclusivity by stating that transgender individuals can be baptized in the Catholic Church and serve as godparents, albeit with conditions to prevent public scandal or confusion among the faithful. This pronouncement, approved by Pope Francis and published by the Vatican's doctrinal office, signifies a notable shift in the Church's approach towards transgender individuals, allowing them to participate in key Catholic sacraments. Francis DeBernardo of the US-based New Ways Ministry hailed this development, saying, "It is big and good news. It is a major step for trans inclusion." The document, responding to queries from a Brazilian bishop, clarifies that transgender adults may serve as godparents, subject to the local priest's discretion and assurance of no risk of scandal. This move contrasts with previous restrictive policies in some dioceses and represents a broader effort by Pope Francis to create a more welcoming environment for LGBTQ+ individuals in the Church, despite traditional doctrines. The Vatican's stance, however, remains complex on issues like same-sex marriage and sexual activity, illustrating the ongoing tension between longstanding religious doctrines and contemporary societal shifts towards inclusivity and acceptance of diverse identities.
