Trump’s Second Term Points to Tensions, Possible Cooperation With Pope Francis
ANALYSIS: The two world leaders have clashed on migration but could find common ground on a push for a negotiated peace in Ukraine.
One potential area of convergence is opposition to what Pope Francis calls “gender ideology ... a troubling ideology of our time,” which he says erases differences between men and women. Earlier this year, the Vatican’s Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith stated that “any sex-change intervention, as a rule, risks threatening the unique dignity the person has received from the moment of conception.” Transgender issues, including the question of transgender athletes in women’s sports, were also prominent in Trump’s campaign. The matter is a delicate one, however, since the Pope takes a highly pastoral approach to transgender individuals, whom he has met with on a number of occasions at the Vatican.
