‘These faiths’ dogmas and practices conflict with the commitment of the Defence Team to value equality and inclusivity at every level of the workplace,’ the government panel claims.
While not outlining specific examples of which religions the panel is referring to, the report uses the example that “some churches’ exclusion of women from their priesthoods violates principles of equality and social justice” while also mentioning that “religion can be source of suffering and generational trauma,” especially for “many lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and two-spirited members of Canadian society.”
While not mentioning Catholicism, which would be a significant example of a religion that holds dogmatic beliefs in opposition of a female priesthood, paganism, and LGBT sexual activity, the report does state that “Indigenous Peoples have suffered unimaginable generational trauma and genocide at the hands of Christian religious leaders.”
