US EditionUS bishops officially ban gender-affirming care at Catholic hospitals
The U.S. bishops formalized a ban on gender-affirming care at Catholic hospitals treating over 1 in 7 patients daily, aligning policy with Vatican guidance.
- On Wednesday, U.S. Catholic bishops voted to ban gender-affirming care at Catholic hospitals, approving revisions to ethical directives from a Baltimore hotel ballroom.
- The move follows Vatican and U.S. bishops' guidance, formalizing a yearslong effort that incorporates the Vatican's 2024 document and the U.S. bishops' 2023 doctrinal note.
- More than one in seven patients are treated daily at Catholic hospitals, which are sometimes the only local medical centers, while major medical groups support gender-affirming care that most Catholic institutions do not offer.
- Diocesan bishops will decide how to implement the rules, and Catholic providers will continue to welcome and treat transgender patients with dignity, according to the Catholic Health Association.
- Some Catholics and parishes, however, have taken a different stance, with heads of religious denominations supporting trans people and Michael Sennett stating `Catholic teaching upholds the invaluable dignity of every human life, and for many trans people, gender-affirming care is what makes life livable.
