A new report contains shocking revelations about the country’s largest non-profit Catholic health care system.
According to the 64-page report published by the Lepanto Institute, a Catholic organization “dedicated to the defense of the Catholic Church against assaults from without as well as from within,” details reveal how CommonSpirit Health is actively promoting transgenderism.
“The largest Catholic health system in the United States, CommonSpirit Health, is acting directly against Catholic moral teaching in direct defiance of its Catholic identity,” the institute says in the document. “This report will provide indisputable proof of gross defiance of Catholic moral teaching on the part of CommonSpirit Health.”
The report primarily centers on CommonSpirit, the largest nonprofit Catholic health system in the United States. CommonSpirit came into existence in 2019 as a result of the merger between Dignity Health and Catholic Health Initiatives, a process that underwent approval from various Archbishops. Presently, CommonSpirit proudly asserts it is “one of the nation’s largest nonprofit health care systems, with more than 1,000 care sites and 140 hospitals in 21 states.”
The Daily Wire notes:
One of the network’s hospitals is St. Francis Memorial Hospital, located in San Francisco. St. Francis Memorial Hospital has a facility it calls “The Gender Institute,” where it provides “gender affirming care.” The program is openly associated with CommonSpirit, with the Gender Institute’s email account ending in “@commonspirit.org.”
“Saint Francis Memorial Hospital is a part of CommonSpirit Health, a national health care ministry that shares the above mission, vision, and values,” the facility’s website reads.
“From our entire hospital staff undergoing pronoun training to following the guidelines set by The Human Rights Campaign Foundation, The Saint Francis Memorial Hospital Gender Institute’s best-in-class surgeons and specialists are dedicated to the gender-affirming individual experience,” the hospital states on its website.
Furthermore, the hospital released a YouTube video featuring an individual who identifies as transgender and underwent a sex change operation at Saint Francis Memorial Hospital. The video promotes the idea of gender-affirming surgeries as a means to embrace one’s “authentic self,” The Daily Wire reported.
A list of surgeries available at the facility includes “hysterectomy,” “vaginoplasty,” “phalloplasty,” “scrotoplasty,” and even a “penile preserving vaginoplasty,” as well as several other, all of which permanently disfigure the recipient.
In addition, the hospital says on its website that “Dignity Health’s Saint Francis Memorial Hospital has become the first hospital internationally to achieve accreditation as a Center of Excellence in Gender Confirmation Surgery by globally-recognized Surgical Review Corporation.”
“Though Saint Francis Memorial Hospital is identified as an ‘other than Catholic’ facility, the report found it received a total of $2,128,662 from CommonSpirit in 2019 and 2020,” the Daily Wire added.
