They can only go back 7 years on a background check. So if it's been over that since you've had the operation. How would the Catholic Church know?

I don't know that the Catholic church as any laws regarding transgendered people within the ranks of the priesthood or nuns. However, there is a astounding amount of psychological research and testing that goes on before one is admitted it any order or any seminary. It is the person's level of faith and mental stability that they are looking for, not whether or not they are physically one sex or the other.

Not in Catholicism. If someone did deceive the Catholic church when applying to become a priest, that wouldn't be very Christian would it?

Would you want to deceive the church about something? You'd have to ask a priest, or maybe someone in higher authority.

No, via fact the Church would understand you as your start gender, no longer your reassigned gender. i'm hoping considered one of those backwards thinking will circulate away as God leads the Church into further and further information, yet issues by no potential replace very rapid interior the RCC.

You can certainly become one if you've had half a sex change operation.

Man runs the church. Man will not forgive. God loves you, He will.

perhaps they wouldn't - but WHY would you want to first gain your freedom of having the gender of your choice and then squander it again on religion????
