This is a special edition of Faith On Trial

About a week ago the Bishop of Des Moines, William Joensen, published a document, “Gender Identity Guide and Policies,” which dealt with the issue of transgenderism, the Catholic approach, and pastoral care for those suffering from gender dysphoria. This week we tried to explain the document, from the diocese we had John Huynh, director of Faith Journey, and from the National Catholic Bioethics Center we had one of the foremost experts on Catholic bioethics, Fr. Tad Pacholczyk, Ph.D. Our program airs at 2 p.m. on Saturday and 9 p.m. on Sunday, Central Time.

The program will be posted as a podcast around noon on Saturday and it can be found at our podcast site: https://iowacatholicradio.com/faith-on-trial/. The podcasts are listed in order with the most recent always on top. The document itself is only six pages and can be found at:

This is a growing issue around the country and we hope this program and the document will aid in your understanding of matter. Feel free to share.
