Bishop Urges Action on Catholic Hospitals' Role in Gender Surgeries for Children | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

A Church leader in the United States is calling for a special meeting of the USCCB. He wants the bishops to discuss a recent report showing scores of Catholic hospitals have provided gender identity surgeries and treatments for minors. Bishop Thomas Daly of Spokane, Washington says it is time to confront the role being played by Catholic hospitals in immoral procedures on children. His comments come after a medical watchdog group published a database of public hospital records. It catalogues around 14,000 sex-change related treatments for patients age 17 and under, and among the public hospitals providing the so-called care, nearly 150 were Catholic hospitals. Bishop Thomas Daly from the Diocese of Spokane, Washington, joins to share his reaction when he saw the report on the number of transgender surgeries and treatments for minors and then saw how many Catholic hospitals participated. Bishop Thomas Daly is calling for the US Conference of Catholic Bishops to address this. He discusses what the response has been so far. Bishop Daly tells us whether there is any way to know how and why so many Catholic hospitals are providing these treatments and surgeries, which clearly go against Church teaching and increasingly large amounts of scientific research. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
