LGBTQ: Vatican says transgender people can be baptised, become godparents

The announcement was in response to the six questions sent by Bishop Jose Negri of Santo Amaro, Brazil, to the Vatican’s doctrinal office in July, asking about the LGBTQ people and their participation in sacraments of baptism and matrimony.

On October 31, the three pages of questions and answers signed by the department’s head, Argentine Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernandez and approved by Pope Francis – they published on the Italian department’s website on Wednesday.
