Vatican: Pope Francis says surrogacy is a dishonorable arrangement and should be banned. Surrogacy affects the dignity of both mother and child. This is reprehensible. Therefore, he expresses hope in the efforts of the international community to ban this practice globally’ – the Pope said. The Pope was addressing Vatican accredited diplomats.
Surrogacy is currently illegal in Italy. The government has also introduced a bill to extend the current ban to penalize those who travel abroad and receive surrogates. Meanwhile, same-sex couples who want children rely on surrogacy. There was criticism that the Pope made a statement that affected the LGBTQ community.
Meanwhile, the Pope had previously allowed priests to bless the heavenly couple without a sacrament or liturgy. The position is that those who want to seek blessings and stay close to the Church should not be stopped by excessive moral trials. The new document was released as an explanation of the Pope’s letter to the cardinals.
