Pope Francis spoke forcefully against the gender ideology – in other words the “transgender movement” propaganda — being force-fed to schoolchildren around the world, and said it’s in fact “one of the most dangerous ideological colonizations” the world is facing.
In an interview with Argentinian newspaper La Nación, the Pope was in no way unclear about the terrible state of affairs. And reiterated a point he made in the past about schools teaching these insane ideas to kids.
“Gender ideology, today, is one of the most dangerous ideological colonizations, he told reporter Elisabetta Piqué. ““Why is it dangerous? Because it blurs differences and the value of men and women.”
The Catholic News Agency noted that in his interview on Friday, he was not only reiterating a point but referencing some comments he’s made before, including in 2016 when he said:
Today children — children — are taught in school that everyone can choose his or her sex. Why are they teaching this? Because the books are provided by the people and institutions that give you money. These forms of ideological colonization are also supported by influential countries. And this is terrible!
He said he continues to speak on the subject now because there are so many “naive” people who believe that erasing the differences between men and women is somehow “progress.”
It is “extremely dangerous,” said Pope Francis, “because it eliminates differences, and that erases humanity, the richness of humanity, both personal, cultural, and social, the diversities and the tensions between differences.”
I mean, all things considered I’d rather he said it’s wrong because it’s wrong and against God, not just that it erases differences which enrich the world — but I do also recognize the impulse to try to speak to the transgressor in terms that they understand, too.
But having the Pope remain staunchly opposed to this scourge and plague upon the earth is invaluable and righteous, regardless of any nitpicking on my part.
BTW here’s a clip of it, but it is not translated.
