This entry examines the official position of the Roman Catholic Church regarding homosexuality and transgenderism, as well as its potential effects on the relationship between the gender and/or sexual identities of Catholic LGBTQ people and their confessional or religious identities. Next, it shows how the relationship of Catholic LGBTQ people with their faith may lead to a conflict between those identities. The main psychological effects of this conflict, as well as the ways identity contradictions are managed and/or resolved, are also examined. Finally, the influence of the wider sociocultural context and of the specific characteristics of the Catholic confession on that process is highlighted.
