USCCB to draft document on transgender people in religious life

A committee of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops plans to address whether people who identify as transgender can enter religious life in the Church. The Canonical Affairs and Church Governance Committee hopes to produce a document on that question by this fall, according to Bishop Thomas Paprocki, the committee chairman. “This is likely to present itself more often, and that’s why bishops are asking about it,” Bishop Paprocki said.
