I love Bishop Thomas. He is often referred to as “The Smiling Bishop.”
I once wrote to him about this very topic, but never heard back from him. I was concerned about how far the culture had gone in regards to this issue and how if the Bishops embrace this ideology, there will be many theological issues that will arise because of it. For instance, could a woman who identifies as a male (or mutilates her body) become a Priest (the correct answer is no). If a Priest identifies as a cat, can he preside at Mass (meowing and pretending to have paws during the Consecration)? These examples sound ridiculous, but do they really, based on where the culture is headed and how far she has fallen?
I have not yet read this document, but plan to over the coming days.
