Roman Catholic bishops in the U.S. are going to to vote this week on issuing guidance to Catholic hospitals prohibiting transgender procedures and puberty-blocking drugs.
At a meeting this week, the US Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) will vote on proposed amendments to their “Religious and Ethical Directives of Catholic Health Care,” providing guidance for Catholic health-care institutions regarding treatment for “transgender” patients.
The U.S. Catholic bishops will vote on whether to amend their official directives for Catholic health care institutions to mandate that they cannot provide gender-affirming medical treatment.
