In an interview given to an Argentinian newspaper the other day, Pope Francis sharply and decisively criticized the gender ideology. The completely clear papal statement somehow escaped the attention of liberal press workers, who immediately raise their heads when the pope - in full accordance with Catholic teaching - calls us to love all our neighbors, including people of different sexual identities. There is a big difference between an individual and a lobby, the Holy Father pointed out again.
The bishop of Rome, who is preparing to visit Hungary, spoke at the very beginning of his interview with the newspaper La Nacion about
"gender ideology is the most dangerous ideological colonization of our time".
Responding to the newspaper, Pope Francis denied that he was working on a text on the issue of gender, but at the same time emphasized that he is talking about this issue because there are somewhat naive people who believe that this is the way of progress.
and they do not distinguish between respect for sexual diversity or different sexual possibilities and the anthropology of gender”.
He pointed out that all this is dangerous because it "destroys the differences and the value of men and women, thereby destroying humanity." As he said, growth is possible in differences, and the anthropology of gender (which, of course, is in complete opposition to Christian anthropology and the teachings of the Catholic Church - ed.) and its ideology "dilutes differences and uniformizes the world, makes it boring and the same." and which is against one's vocation.
During the conversation, Pope Francis also noted that in his statements he always distinguishes between the pastoral needs of people with different sexual orientations and what gender ideology is. "These are two different things," the Holy Father emphasized.
When asked by Elisabetta Pique, interviewer of La Nacion Rome correspondent, during his recent visit to Argentina, the authorities asked him to fill out a form on which he could indicate whether he was "male, female or non-binary", Pope Francis responded by Robert Hugh Benson It reminds him of his novel A világ ura, written in 1907. In this dystopia, the author outlines a vision of a future in which differences disappear, everything is the same, everything is unified and the whole world has a single leader, Pope Francis pointed out.
