This undercut the main basis for the mandate, that it was a major public health benefit.

A Denunciation of Bostock

I wish to express with proper force my rejection of the recent United States Supreme Court’s Bostock ruling concerning human sexuality. As president of The National Catholic Bioethics Center (NCBC), I am the head of an important institution dedicated to defending the dignity of the human person by drawing on the riches of the Catholic Church’s teachings and intellectual tradition. I have a responsibility to speak out.
