he Vatican says transgender people can be baptized within the church, as long as doing so doesn't create "public scandal or confusion among the faithful."
The statement from the Vatican's theological watchdog group, called the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, came in response to a question from a Brazilian bishop, José Negri of Santo Amaro.
The document goes on to say that the sacrament of baptism has an indelible character regardless of the state of sin of the person receiving it.
Pope Francis has repeatedly held throughout his papacy, and the document reiterates, that the Church is not a "tollhouse" and that the door of baptism should not be closed to anyone.

None of this will get to heaven or God's Kingdom ,sad,cause that also shows how the leaders can also compromised themselves to do things like we hear about The ole alter boys saying we here,it lends to the truth of it.Sad,enough mankind can not be more Strong to be rear folks to be what the are born to being in the bodies they have instead of Alternate Living,Just like a case of a rape , in a boys' home at 9 years old ,Nothing was done and That could had lead to the raped one thinking it's' ok to rape,,Love my enemies,I have no problems with, but it has to be to them realizing such alternatives are so not of God, and that has to be that they ask for help to continue to be a male if they are born such,and female if they are born such,I pray for deliverance from such roots of , saying it's' ok to bend a gender
