VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - In case anyone had any doubts, the Vatican believes that transsexuals should not become priests, monks or nuns.
According to the Catholic news agency Adista, the Vatican has sent a note to heads of Roman Catholic bishops' conferences and religious orders around the world on the subject of sex change operations.
The confidential document written by the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, its doctrinal watchdog, says those who undergo sex change operations have a "pathological personality situation."
It advises bishops and heads of religious orders not to allow transsexuals to become priests, nuns and monks and any who have already made it through the admissions process should be expelled if discovered.
