In
this week’s decision in Bostock v. Clayton County, the Supreme Court has overstepped its
bounds and imposed a legal definition which promotes a confused understanding
of the nature and design of the human person. In seeking to address an
employment issue, the majority opinion assigns to the word “sex” a meaning that
those who passed the 1964 Civil Rights Act never would have imagined, and which
Congress itself has declined to adopt. Indeed, the Court’s definition of “sex”
is so broad that it effectively empties the word of any real significance
whatsoever.

I join with my brother bishops in
welcoming the U.S. Supreme Court decision that
prevents the termination of the Deferred Action for Childhood
Arrivals (DACA) program.
