The persona of the French Joan of Arc, or the "Virgin of Orléans", no longer stands the test of time, in the spirit of political correctness, she cannot simply be regarded as a woman. This could be the reason why he was changed to gender neutral in the play about him at the highly prestigious Shakespeare theater, the Globe in London.

The theater itself announced that the neutral pronouns "they/them" will be used for St. Johanna . According to them, even before the birth of the French saint, these pronouns were used in the English language to refer to a person, and they also added that the play does not actually want to stay true to history. The theater sees that Joan of Arc has been portrayed as a woman countless times throughout history, now they simply want to create a new point of view where you can imagine what would have happened if…

According to the Globe theater, they are not the first to portray the French historical hero in this way, and they certainly won't be the last. It is certainly true that they are not the first, as the non-binary representation of the saint has already been committed by the Discovery+ channel recently in the framework of an LGBTQ documentary series.

Setting St. Joan as gender neutral is harmful and false in many ways. The woman who lived in the 15th century is a Catholic saint and, incidentally, a French national hero, who led the liberation struggle of the French people against the English during the Hundred Years' War, having been born as a simple peasant girl. He won several decisive victories in the war, which reversed its outcome and ultimately made it possible for VII. The accession to the throne of King Charles of France. Joan of Arc was finally handed over to the church authorities by the English, who condemned her to death at the stake and burned her alive at the age of 19. The young girl was beatified in 1909 and a saint in 1920, and she is one of the 9 patron saints of France.

It is also a fact that St. Johanna plays a decisive role in Western culture to this day, many politicians have fondly recalled her memory over time. In addition, Joan of Arc stood as a role model for the masses of women for many centuries.

The fact that LGBTQ ideology and its followers touch the saints is unfortunately not a new development. In Poland, in 2019, with a rainbow halo , and last year, Riccardo Simonetti, the LGBTQ ambassador of the European Parliament, posed as a transgender Virgin Mary

In Italy in June, the Virgin Mary was depicted with a naked torso and leather accessories at a gay parade. In the House of European History, European politicians drew attention defamation of Christianity There, the Black Madonna of Częstochowa, a highly valued icon of Polish Catholics, was displayed as part of an exhibition, but the image was modified with the rainbow colors of LGBTQ ideology. Due to the incident, Polish members of the European Parliament wrote a letter demanding the removal of the image. The initiative was joined by several politicians who advocate that religious symbols should be respected.
