Clergy and gender pronouns

I get that the official position of the church (and of the sub for that matter) contradicts "gender ideology" or whatever you want to call it. I'm not here to get into that.

But on the other hand, there is doctrine and there is what clergy actually does. It's my impression that Francis, for example, was not particularly in-your-face about church positions when speaking to people who were personally impacted by those positions.

Are there cases where high-ranking clergy who aren't super-extreme ideologically have publicly used an English gendered pronoun (don't care which one) to refer to a specific named trans person?
