She's so desperate to paint Catholics as irrational nuts that she latches on to anything she can get, no matter how petty.
This is true, and it is even more stark that the subject is a major point of attack in the Church from the world.
To the world, abortion, contraception, ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖity, destruction of gender distinctions, denial of sɛҳuąƖ realities, and hatred of the family are sacraments, to liberate mankind from itself.
Right now, entire school districts, sometimes even nations are making denial of transsɛҳuąƖ fantasies a crime against humanity. For a person to call a "man to woman transsɛҳuąƖ" a man is worse than murder for some. Catholic business and charities are being forced to close or fund such things.
This is part of a larger war, but this battle is the one which we find ourselves among. As soldiers of Christ, we cannot be traitors, giving ground to the Enemy, weakening our comrades, and deceiving those who would be on the side of good, of God.
And it is amazing that being a good "Catholic" by some standards means being almost indistinguishable with modern sentiments...
Well, such modern notions will be replaced in the future, as all modernism is. Morality and reality itself is not subject to time and culture.
