Pope reportedly meets with Spanish transsexual

January 27, 2015

Pope Francis met privately with a Spanish transsexual who had written to complain about having been banished from his parish church, according to the Spanish daily Hoy.

Diego Neria Lejarraga, who was born as a woman but now seeks to live as a man, reported that Pope Francis had called in December, responding to the plea, and arranged the meeting on January 24.

The Vatican has not commented on the report.
