'I'm a Catholic Nun. I'm Standing Up for Trans People' Read more:
Part of our life commitment is to reach out to the people that are pushed aside and to those who are being made to feel like they are less than whole.
Initially, we would have signed off the letter as"Catholic Women Religious" because that's how we identify ourselves. But after some feedback, we decided to have gender-neutral terms in the whole document. We left out the word"woman" and the statement is just as valid; we signed off the letter as:"Vowed Catholic Religious Honor."
A touching one was a postcard I got mailed from somewhere in New Jersey. It said:"Thank you for your statement. It means so much to us. You'll never know how much this has meant that you were willing to do this." They signed their first names. I don't know them, and I may never meet them, but it was so touching to see.
Of course, other people told us that they were praying for our souls because we were so misguided, and some insisted that we were going against church teaching by standing with the LGBTQ+ community.I hope that as a global Catholic Church, we are able to have the confidence to speak up and use our power to influence people positively. All persons belong in the church. Everyone is welcome.
