The Archdiocese of New York recently faced media backlash after expelling a theatre group from a Catholic school for affirming transgender identities. This decision sparked criticism from news outlets, accusing the Church of intolerance and backwardness. The Archdiocese emphasised its commitment to upholding Catholic teachings, which prioritize traditional understandings of gender and human dignity.
