The Diocese of Lansing is formally opposing a proposal by Michigan Supreme Court that would compel judges to refer to attorneys and litigants by their preferred personal pronouns, even when these conflict with a person’s biological sex. Why? Watch this three minute film as William R. Bloomfield, General Counsel for the Diocese of Lansing, gives evidence to a Public Administrative Hearing of the Michigan Supreme Court, June 7, 2023.

Simple logic. Brilliant.
They weren't satisfied with attacking the second amendment, and have moved on to the first... I am glad someone is still using their freedom of speech while we still have one. God bless.
that was spoken perfectly, and this should be shared everywhere.
There’s the whole problem with rights-based liberalism of the John Locke variety: someone’s “faith and morals” have to win out here: if judges are compelled to use pronouns, how can a good Catholic remain a judge (at least in our state)? If they are not compelled, the old morality will hold and the trans- folks will have to live under a moral order with which they disagree. Someone’s morals are governing. The same issue is at play in public schools: can a Catholic remain a public school educator when Obergefell, though wrongly decided, is binding on the State of Michigan, i.e., does a public school teacher have any room to dissent in a sexual education classroom setting? I’m glad Mr. Bloomfield has put his skills into God’s service and pray for a stouthearted Catholic legal establishment.
