<p>A Catholic Church in New York City is facing some backlash — from its own parishioners — over a display titled &#8220;God is Trans: A Queer Spiritual Journey.&#8221;</p>
<p>According to a <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/05/07/god-is-trans-exhibit-at-nyc-catholic-church-raises-eyebrows/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> published Sunday by The New York Post, the Church of St. Paul the Apostle — located on Manhattan&#8217;s West Side — is known to be &#8220;very liberal.&#8221; Despite that, for some church members, the &#8220;God is Trans&#8221; display appears to be a bridge too far — or at least one that is going to require an explanation.</p>

<p lang="en" dir="ltr">‘God is Trans’ exhibit at ‘very liberal’ NYC Catholic Church raises eyebrows <a href="https://t.co/ftjIFnLFBA">https://t.co/ftjIFnLFBA</a> <a href="https://t.co/wM7C5WVaDi">pic.twitter.com/wM7C5WVaDi</a></p>

<p>One parishioner told the Post the display felt <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/evangelical-lutheran-church-installs-first-transgender-bishop-during-ceremony-in-san-francisco" target="_blank" rel="noopener">out of place</a> in the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/church-celebrates-transgender-pastors-transition-amanda-prestigiacomo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">church</a> — and noted that a priest, when asked by a friend about it, had not given an answer.</p>
<p>&#8220;The church should not be promoting this. I understand there are transgender people. I pray for all people but enough is enough,&#8221; the parishioner said. &#8220;It seems like they are trying to force the agenda on others,” they said. “Also, when a friend asked a priest about this they didn’t answer. You can’t put this out on the altar and then hide. That’s what gets the church in trouble.&#8221;</p>
<p>The exhibit reportedly details &#8220;a queer spiritual journey in three steps: Sacrifice, Identity and Communion,&#8221; and features art by Adah Unachukwu. The comparison between God and someone identifying as trans is explained by defining &#8220;sacrifice&#8221; as a move to &#8220;shed&#8221; a prior life or identity. &#8220;Identity&#8221; is then defined as individuals asking the spiritual question, &#8220;What does holiness look like?&#8221; The definition of the third step — &#8220;communion&#8221; — more closely aligns with the traditional definition and addresses a convergence between God and man.</p>
<p>The Post reached out to the Archdiocese of New York, but a spokesman did not offer any comment beyond stating that he had not been aware that the display existed.</p>
<p>The display appears to fly in the face of the Catholic Church&#8217;s official stance when it comes to the topic of gender identity. In 2019&#8217;s &#8220;<a title="Opens in a new window" href="http://www.educatio.va/content/dam/cec/Documenti/19_0997_INGLESE.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Male and Female He Created Them: Towards a Path of Dialogue on the Question of Gender Theory in Education</a>,&#8221; the church pushed back on claims that sex and gender were two separate concepts and referred to transgender identity as an attempt to &#8220;annihilate the concept of nature.&#8221;</p>
