Abstrakt: | The scientific contemplation, inspired by the publication of the new Ratio Fundamentalis,
is concentrated around the following issues: (1) accepting/not accepting to seminar, accepting/
not accepting a transsexual person to the holy orders, (2) letting/not letting a homosexual
person to the holy orders. Two assumptions accompany the detailed exploration of these issues.
Firstly, what is key for achieving reliable research results is the affirmation of the appropriate
anthropology, according to which both transsexualism and homosexuality are to be treated under
common denominator as psychosexual disorders. Secondly, if the context closer to the research
is defined by a doctrinal background, drafted for each of the mentioned phenomena, in the form
of relevant anthropological and ethical, as well as theological and ecclesiological principles and
guidelines included in numerous sources of the Church’s Magisterium, then with reference to
both transsexualism and homosexuality, an invaluable cognitive character is presented by especially
one source document, namely the Instruction of the 2015 Congregation for Catholic
Education. |
