Catholic university offers health care class teaching about ‘transgender children,’ gender altering surgeries

Loyola University, despite being a Catholic institution, has a class that teaches about the pros and cons of transgender medical operations on children.

The Chicago-based university describes itself as a "diverse community seeking God in all things and working to expand knowledge in the service of humanity through justice, learning and faith." It is named after Saint Ignatius of Loyola, a Spanish Catholic priest who went on to found one of Christianity’s most famous religious orders, the Jesuits. Despite the name however, the university has made headlines multiple times for policies that go against Catholic social teaching.

Part of the college’s selection of classes is a two-week course on "LGBTQ+ Health," whose stated goal is to "teach students the evidence-based treatment of LGBTQ+ patients in medicine."
