From Pennsylvania-Three Pennsylvania bishops — one Eastern Orthodox and two Roman Catholic — have signed a letter expressing compassion for transgender individuals but criticizing “gender ideology.”
The Pennsylvania signatories to “Created Male and Female” were Scranton Bishop Joseph C. Bambera and Philadelphia Archbishop Charles J. Chaput, as well as Pittsburgh Archbishop Melchisedek (Pleska) of the Orthodox Church in America.
They were among 20 U.S. religious leaders to sign the statement, representing Lutheran, Presbyterian, Anglican, Southern Baptist, Roman Catholic, Orthodox and historically black churches. Signatories also included a Muslim representative and an elder from the Bruderhof community.
The letter, posted on the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' website, critiques the transgender movement in light of Scripture and traditional religious teachings on human sexuality.
