Gender Ideology...
is having a devastating impact on
children and teens
ignores God as Creator and
promotes a view of individual
autonomy which is simply incorrect
redefines the parent-child
relationship, casting parents as
"oppressing" children by raising
them as boys or girls
undermines basic Christian
anthropology by defining the
person as a disembodied mind and
the body as mere instrument
Aiming to serve key personnelinvolved in Catholic Charities,
Catholic Schools, SeminaryFormation, Counseling and Diocesan
staff, we will present the issuesinvolved and discuss ways to prepare
a proactive, truthful andcompassionate response to gender
ideology when these issues arise. Wehope to equip participants to be
catalysts for advancing this discussionand preparing to respond to gender
ideology at their level.
