"Let it be very clear, then, that when the church preaches social justice, equality, and human dignity; when the church defends those who suffer poverty or violence, this is not subversive nor is it Marxism. This is the authentic magisterium of the church.

I didn't expect to see anyone preaching conversion therapy, but here we are.
If that’s what you think I am doing then you are just being purposefully obtuse
But it is, though. Intent doesn't matter, impact does. Preaching to trans to change their ways? That's literally conversion therapy.
There is no reliable evidence that sexual orientation can be changed and medical institutions warn that conversion therapy practices are ineffective and potentially harmful.
