Pope Francis
The Vatican has reiterated its staunch opposition to sex changes, gender theory, surrogate parenthood, abortion and euthanasia in a text dubbed Dignitas Infinita or Infinite Dignity.
Other social themes, such as poverty, migration and human trafficking are also emphasised as potential threats to human dignity.
Some conservatives have accused the pontiff of steering the Catholic Church too far away from some traditional teachings.
Last year, Pope Francis said transgender people could be baptised in the Catholic Church.
He also allowed priests to bless same-sex couples under certain circumstances, although the Vatican still views marriage as between a man and a woman.
