The German Synod's Awful Gender Document

In this episode Trent breaks down the German Synod's recent document supporting transgender ideology and shares what the Church can really do to help people with sexual identity disorders.

As a catholic, raising my daughters with my wife in Germany, I feel sad and angry because of these developments in the local church… deeply worried about the future - Please pray for the German bishops and the Church of Christ here.

That one Bishop who voted No, you my friend are a hero. We need to hold him up!

I am from germany and i had no idea that this was going on. I think it's time for the church to take a clear and definitive stance on this whole gender and lgbt nonsense; to call out and condemn heresy when it tries to sneak its way into our sacred tradition.

Not the first time Germany has given rise to a protesting church..

[diannalaubenberg]

There is something seriously wrong in Germany.

“The church should be a place where everyone is welcomed, AND ENCOURAGED TO SEEK HOLINESS.” That second part is what a lot of progressive Christians (if you can even call them that) miss out on. They fundamentally miss the one of the big points of the church. You don’t go to church to be “accepted” You go to Worship GOD and encourage one another to be holier. And to transform yourself and your life and ideas about life.

The rosary was initially given by Our Lady to combat heresy. How many Catholics today truly believe this and how many will pray it everyday for the situation in Germany? I'm not sure tbh but it's a great place to start 👍

Is this a church document, or a Teen Vogue article?

[duartedias]

As a protestant, I feel compasionate towards my catholic siblings. I hope this situation sorts itself out and it doesn't escalate into a schism

[Gooey]

As a German Protestant strongly considering Catholicism I feel I'm back to square one. Nowhere to go.

The problem is that it's a waste of time deconstructing these documents, we know their complete nonsense. What we should focus on is what rot has affected the Church that documents like this are even taken seriously. We have to call out heresy

Thank you for addressing the concerning issues in the German Synod’s gender document. It's disheartening to see how far some leaders are willing to go in distorting Church teaching. I appreciate the way you explained the Church's consistent teaching on human sexuality and the importance of remaining faithful to Scripture and Tradition. We need to pray for the unity of the Church and for our leaders to remain steadfast in the truth. Keep up the great work Trent!

Heresy and Germans who think they know better... name a more iconic duo

[garysibio]

You said that gender is assigned at birth. I've heard a lot of people say that but it is simply not true. Gender is assigned at conception, not birth.

[ChristianTrinity]

I don’t understand why these German bishops, and folks like James Martin, still have a job. Why are they not sternly warned, and then fired if they do not heed the warning? Like, what does the pope do all day?

[stanleyigboanugo]

What a Shame!

Thank you for all you do, Trent.

My sister (lapsed Catholic and active participant in a local Baptist church) recently got her hair cut short for the specific reason of being disgusted by being referred to as a lady with she/her pronouns. She experiences same-sex attraction but has a boyfriend, so she has identity issues on the sexuality and gender identity fronts. I ask all who view this comment to please pray for her that she may accept that she is a daughter of God, not a son, not a non-binary child, a daughter. Pray for her to grow in the virtue of chastity and that she will be able to act on her desires in a healthy way in the context of marriage, God willing.

Thankfully Pope Francis through this ill-defined process of Synod on Synodality, whether wittingly or unwittingly, has allowed many Bad Shepperds to finally reveal themselves. Matter of fact, it has been said that this Synod on Synodality is the movement of the Holy Spirit. Perhaps this is the way the Holy Spirit has decided to cleanse the Church.

Trent you made a mistake at 2:20 the Haiga Sophia was built in Constantinople modern day Istanbul not Antioch.

Male/female siblings quickly see the characteristics that distinguish each other.
