Pope Francis has denounced abortion and the bearing of children by surrogate mothers as grave offences against human dignity.<\/p>\n
In a declaration of principles published by the Vatican on Monday, the head of the Catholic Church also condemned gender reassignment and gender theory\u2019.<\/p>\n
The Pope said gender theory is an offence against what he said was the God-given dignity of human beings.<\/p>\n
A human being whether born or not is sacred and inviolable, according to the document.<\/p>\n
The termination of a pregnancy means nothing other than denying human dignity to the \u201cmost defenceless\u2019\u2019 beings, it added.<\/p>\n
The Vatican\u2019s latest declaration draws a parallel between abortion and surrogacy, when a woman carries a child on behalf of someone else and then gives it to them after the birth.<\/p>\n
In this way, the declaration says, a child becomes a \u201cmere object\u2019\u2019 and the dignity of the woman is violated for reasons of profit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
