By Phil Lawler, Catholic Culture - In a news release celebrating the meeting, New Ways Ministry identified the people who had spoken with the Pope along with Sister Gramick: two transgender individuals, the parents of another, and the co-director of a “gender medicine clinic.” If the Pope had any moral qualms about the choices they had made, or the operations they promote, his reservations were not recorded... Nor did the Vatican make any attempt to correct the record. The Vatican has been silent on the October 12 meeting. So once again New Ways Ministry has scored a major public-relations victory, with Pope Francis sitting by, smiling quietly.
