US cardinal says ‘Dignitas Infinita’ clarifies that LGBTQ Catholics are loved but the Church’s moral teachings still apply

ROME – Cardinal Wilton Gregory of Washington, DC, has praised the new Vatican document on human dignity as a “welcome summation” of Church teaching, espeically on issues such as gender theory and transgenderism.

Speaking to Crux, Gregory said the document, published 8 April and titled Dignitas Infinita, does a good job at summarising the Church’s moral and doctrinal teaching, and that when it comes to the LGBTQ+ community, Pope Francis has “made it clear that he has great love and affection and respect for people who have a different sexual orientation”.
