Pope Francis: “The ugliest danger is gender ideology, which nullifies differences”

Pope Francis once again criticized “gender ideology”, which he considered as “the ugliest danger“, given that “cancels out the differences” between men and women.

“It is very important that there is this meeting between men and women, because today the ugliest danger is gender ideology, which nullifies differences“Francis declared in an audience at the Vatican where he received participants in a conference on marriage.

“I asked for studies on this ugly ideology of our time, which cancels out differences and makes everything the same; canceling difference is canceling humanity. “Man and woman, and vice versa, are in a fruitful tension,” added the 87-year-old Argentine pope.

“I remember reading a novel from the beginning of the 20th century, written by the son of the Archbishop of Canterbury: ‘Lord of the World’. The novel talks about the future and is prophetic, because it shows this tendency to cancel all differences,” added Jorge Mario Bergoglio.

It is not the first time that the pope has criticized this theory according to which sexual identity is determined by education and environment, and not by genetic differences.
In 2016, he denounced the “underhanded indoctrination” of French school textbooks, influenced by this theory, which caused an avalanche of criticism in France.

In 2019, the Vatican published a text aimed at helping Catholic school teachers counter “gender ideology,” which “denies the natural difference between a man and a woman.”
