The prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith said a ‘new text’ had been recently prepared having already had ‘several versions.’
A Vatican document on the theme of “human dignity” is almost complete and will be published early next month, the prefect of the Vatican’s Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith has confirmed.
Cardinal Victor Fernández, who is overseeing the writing of the document, told the Register March 7 that the document has had “several versions” but that the “text is almost finished and will be published in early April.”
The Argentinian cardinal, who began his work as dicastery prefect last September, said that a “new text” had been “prepared in the past few months and discussed by the dicastery’s cardinals and bishops at the Feria IV” — a regular Wednesday meeting of the dicastery’s senior members.
“At this moment, we are incorporating some suggestions proposed by them at the Feria IV,” the cardinal added.
His comments follow his disclosure in a Jan. 12 interview that the dicastery was preparing “a very important document on human dignity” that contains “a strong criticism” of immoral trends in contemporary society.
Cardinal Fernández told the Spanish news agency EFE that the new document would include “not only social issues but also a strong criticism of moral questions such as sex-change surgery, surrogacy, and gender ideology.”
