Church & Supreme Court Strengthen Children's Rights

The Catholic Church and the Supreme Court have both made significant moves regarding children's rights and protections. Bishop Kevin Rhoades recently emphasized that parents remain the primary educators of their children even when they attend public schools. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court has issued three crucial decisions on human sexuality and child safeguarding.

Bishop Robert E. Barron, the current leader of the Diocese of Winona–Rochester, appointed in 2022, is not part of the leadership committee of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, as of the latest information. The Church continues to support parents through parish and diocesan youth ministry programs and lay ecclesial movements.

The Supreme Court's recent rulings align with the Church's stance on protecting children. The court protected minors from irreversible gender dysphoria procedures, reflecting the Constitution's fundamental principles and freedoms. It also required age verification on pornographic websites, aiding parents in shielding young minds from explicit content. Furthermore, the court denied schools the right to force children into 'LGBTQ story time' without parental consent.

Both the Catholic Church and the Supreme Court have taken steps to support and protect children and their families. The Church reaffirms parents' role as primary educators, while the Supreme Court's decisions on gender dysphoria procedures, age verification for pornographic websites, and 'LGBTQ story time' consent reflect a commitment to child safeguarding and parental rights.
