Bishop Michael Burbidge of Arlington, Virginia, recently issued "A Catechesis on the Human Person and Gender Ideology". The document takes a strong unequivocal stance against transgender ideology, down to practical specifics like telling the faithful we must not use transgender names and pronouns. Beyond that, it excels in showing how the Church's whole anthropology and theology are at stake in the transgender issue.

Today's guest, Fr. Stephen Schultz, was one of the Bishop's advisers in drafting the document. Fr. Schultz is the director of the EnCourage apostolate in the Diocese of Arlington, and chaplain at St. Paul VI Catholic High School.
