Controversy over the words of the Bishop of Alicante about trans at WYD: "God is not wrong, no one is born in the wrong body"

The Bishop of Orihuela-Alicante, José Ignacio Munilla, stated in a catechism during World Youth Day (WYD) that “nobody is born in the wrong body” because “God is not wrong”.

“Ecology has to begin with respect for ourselves, God has created us well, God does not make mistakes, no one is born in the wrong body,” Munilla stressed this Wednesday, in one of the catechism that Spanish bishops gave to groups of young people. in different locations in Portugal.

In a reflection on integral ecology, the theme chosen by WYD for this first catechesis, the Bishop of Orihuela-Alicante has warned that ecology, if it is not integral, “is not Christian”, it is “ideology”, and has warned of some “blatant contradictions” of environmentalism that is not comprehensive.

Among others, he has criticized that environmentalism “denounces transgenics, but “at the same time” defends “the transgender, that one can suddenly change from being a man to being a woman”. “It is a contradiction that makes an ideology clear,” he said.

Likewise, he has denounced that ecology of “those who defend and save whales, seals and penguins” at the same time that they defend “abortion”. As he has specified, “it is one thing to have respect for animals” and another thing is to say that “they have rights.”

In this sense, he has also criticized how “carts” that look like babies but carry “a dog” are currently seen on the streets.. “That they let the dog be a dog, the existence of 'perrhijos' is a drama,” he lamented.

Among other issues, the bishop also rejected that people “get stuck” against fertility and, on the other hand, warned of the problem of “consumerism”, specifying that the issue “is not only how to recycle plastic” but also the lack of “austerity”.
