Pope Francis spoke out against gender theory in a recent interview, echoing his past comments expressing disapproval of transgender ideology.

“Gender ideology, today, is one of the most dangerous ideological colonizations,” Francis said in the conversation.

The pope made the comments in a March 10 interview with Argentinian newspaper La Nación — the conversation was translated into English by the Catholic News Agency.

Just ‘dangerous’? How about false, sinful, and in rebellion against God and nature? Naw, too morally absolutist.

If the Pope isn’t more careful, people are gonna confuse him with being Catholic.

I don’t think that that is what he is doing here. Give the broken clock credit where credit is due.

He may not be saying what you think he is saying. Just what does he mean by gender ideology?

Liberalism is far worse because not knowing what a man or woman is only one small piece of their cancerous disease.

I'm thinking the same thing -- what is the false idea? The idea that humans only come in two types? Male and Female? Is that wrong? Is this sort of gender ideology a dangerous idea?

Pope Francis has frequently used the term “ideological colonization” throughout the 10 years of his pontificate, particularly to describe instances when aid money for developing countries has been tied to contraceptives, abortion, sterilization, and gender ideologies. In a conversation with Polish bishops in 2016, Pope Francis 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....
on gender ideology, the pope said that he talks about the subject “because some people are a bit naive and believe that it is the way to progress.” He said that they “do not distinguish what is respect for sexual diversity or diverse sexual preferences from what is already an anthropology of gender, which is extremely dangerous because it eliminates differences, and that erases humanity, the richness of humanity, both personal, cultural, and social, the diversities and the tensions between differences.”
When Piqué asked Pope Francis if he knew that in Argentina people are asked to indicate on official forms if they are male, female, or non-binary sex, the pope said that it reminded him of the “futuristic” novel, "Lord of the World," written by Monsignor Robert Hugh Benson in 1907. ....“a future in which differences are disappearing and everything is the same, everything is uniform, a single leader of the whole world.” - https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/253845/pope-francis-gender-ideology-is-one-of-the-most-dangerous-ideological-colonizations-today

Robert Hugh Benson imagines a world where belief in God has been replaced by secular humanism. Lord of the World describes a world where Catholics are falling away and priests and bishops are defecting. Only a small remnant of the faithful remains. - https://www.amazon.com/Lord-World-Robert-Hugh-Benson/dp/0870612980/ref=sr_1_1?crid=KG1YWMO52NGH&keywords=Lord+of+the+World&qid=1678536476&sprefix=lord+of+the+world%2Caps%2C109&sr=8-1

Benson is like the many books and movies of a one world leader to whom Christ=denying allegiance must be signified. Which itself is Scriptural, if not that Catholics will be the remnant.

“Gender ideology” means “believing in two sexes, a Man and Woman living in Holy Matrimony”.

And THAT is today’s latest curse: “Colonization”

“I don’t think that that is what he is doing here.”

I am not catholic. But I do believe that anytime a religious leader, whether it be the Pope, or even a minister at a small church in the mountains, steps forward and tries to defend the diversity of sexual actions based upon the recognition of diversity, that leader has crossed the line by over ruling what all non-pagan religions have considered a sin with acceptance of even its right to be there and have a say in the development of our children.

And when the acceptance crosses over into the maturing thus forming of our children’s future when man created that dissemination negatively by allowing the “conning” of young children, even against the parental wishes, furthers the work of those that God has determined sinful.

From the article:

The pontiff attributed the increasing global push for gender subjectivity to well-intentioned people who “do not distinguish what is respect for sexual diversity or diverse sexual preferences from what is already an anthropology of gender, which is extremely dangerous because it eliminates differences, and that erases humanity, the richness of humanity, both personal, cultural, and social, the diversities and the tensions between differences.”

Did you read the last line of the article?

Amid his remarks, Francis said there needed to be a distinction between a legal crime and a religious sin with regard to homosexual practices: “It’s not a crime. Yes, but it’s a sin. Fine, but first, let’s distinguish between a sin and a crime.”

He is at least 70-90% with you.
