Analysis of Transgenderism from a Catholic View Amid Trans Shooter Investigation | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

New information is emerging about the gunman responsible for the recent attack at Annunciation Catholic Church. Authorities report the shooter was a 23-year-old biological male who identified as a woman and died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound at the scene. The shooter allegedly mocked Christ and left messages—including one that read, “Where’s your God now?” The FBI says he left numerous anti-Catholic and anti-religious writings, both in a so-called manifesto and on his weapons. He also expressed hatred toward Jewish people. Preliminary details paint the shooter as someone with an inclination for violence. One media outlet reported a confession video in which the shooter expressed being “tired of being trans” and wished he had “never brainwashed himself.” Jason Evert, founder of the Chastity Project and author of Male, Female, Other?: A Catholic Guide to Understanding Gender, joins the conversation. He addresses transgenderism from a Catholic perspective and shares his thoughts on what role the shooter’s transgender identity may or may not have played in this tragedy. He also discusses what he’s heard from individuals who identify as transgender. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
