Pope Francis: ”Today the ugliest danger is gender ideology, which cancels out differences ... Erasing differences is erasing humanity.”

St. Paul: ”There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Jesus Christ.”

Gender ideology, which seeks to blur differences between men and women through movements such as transgenderism, “makes everything the same,” Francis said.

No mate, your paedophile organisation is an actual danger, genocide in the name of religion is a danger, Christianity is a danger.

Trans people are not a danger. Non-binary people are not a danger.

Trans people are the biggest issue right now, says group with a paedophile problem.

Huh. Fascism is on the rise everywhere. The planet is being destroyed by greedy billionaires. People are struggling to pay for food. There are wars and genocides. But he thinks the ugliest danger is "gender ideology", whatever that is.

And he says it erases differences. If "gender ideology" is being a non-bigot about gender, then that respects differences. What erases differences is forcing everyone to conform to only two set gender stereotypes.

It's saddening that dogma prevents him seeing how dramatically advances in understanding and respect for gender have improved so many people's lives. And it's disappointing to see him align himself and his church with forces of oppression.

I'm upvoting this, not because I agree with it, but because it is relevant for this community. Like it or not (and I certainly don't), the Catholic Church has massive global power. Knowing where they stand on this issue is important, especially since this Pope, seemingly, has been trying to appear more progressive.

Our planet becoming nearly uninhabitable or uninhabitable with millions if not billions of people dying seems like a bigger problem. But then again spreading hate about the LGBTQ+ is more important to the spokesperson for 'god'.

Thank goodness! I was starting to like the head of the Catholic Church for a second there. That's better! No hate like Christian love, Frankie.

Today the ugliest danger is ~~gender ideology~~ religion.

“It is very important that there is this meeting, this meeting between men and women, because today the ugliest danger is gender ideology, which cancels out differences,” the pope said during an audience with members of the French-based academic organization Research and Anthropology of Vocations Institute (CRAV).

I mean...isn't this a good thing? Why the fuck do men have to hold doors open for women, specifically? Why are women supposed to be the stay at home parents? Equality seems pretty fucking good tbh. I mean, good lord, men have nipples and that line on the scrotum because we start out as women while in development. The proto-ovaries descend to become testicles. We have some hormonal differences and some brain development differences, but we truly are not that different. Being seen as equals should be a thing we strive for. At the end of the day, it really doesn't matter who you fuck or what privates you have. We all only have one life on this planet, make the most of it. And be nice to other people while on this place.

That's RIGHT! GENDER IDEOLOGY is the Ugliest Danger! Says the man who Protects Child Abusers!

Said the leader of pedophile mafia.

The world is on fire, fascism is rising, and your god is dead.

ETA: I actually personally left the Catholic Church over their stance on trans people. I had had other issues for a long time, and was firmly pro abortion, gay marriage, and female priesthood, but those were things I thought I might see them come around on. But then I got to trying to figure out why I was so damn miserable. Long story of self discovery later I learned I’m trans and that the psychological agony I’d been in my entire pubescent life was gender dysphoria and that’s why nothing was fixing it. The Catholic Church’s stance was that I either accept easily curable pain for the rest of my life that has little downside or a loving god will punish me forever when I die. That was the straw that broke the camel’s back. I took a year off of Christianity to cleanse my palate as I transitioned expecting to go episcopal or Quaker and wound up atheist -> pagan with an understanding that I will choose gods by their morality rather than choosing my morality by my gods.

Aren't there multiple genocides going on right now?

Schizophrenic man that hears voices tells his cultists no body mods.

Better title.

The pope did not read the full address, instead delegating the task to Monsignor Filippo Ciampanelli. “I still have a cold and it’s tiring to read for a while,” the pope said to the participants assembled at the Vatican.

Where's your god now? Can't even give his #1 on earth the strength to mumble his message of hate. Fucking losers.

He said while wearing a beadazzled cloak, long skirt, and ballet flats.

Religion is a poison. Why can't they just let people be

Fuck the catholic church, tax the fuckers into non-existence.

The pope sometimes reminds me of that lawyer representing zoidberg in the earth's flag case

“It is very important that there is this meeting, this meeting between men and women, because today the ugliest danger is gender ideology, which cancels out differences,” the pope said during an audience with members of the French-based academic organization Research and Anthropology of Vocations Institute (CRAV).

He's demanding that everyone conform to his narrow worldview... in the name of preserving our differences?

That's some impressive mental gymnastics, even for a Pope.

Welp so much for the woke pope. Literally blaming your problems on the minority of a minority.

Human suffering in Palestine?
Ukraine? Africa? Global warming? The rise of fascism?

Nah, better go after personal freedoms.

Leader of millennias old pedophile ring says people changing their birth-assigned gender is dangerous

"You are as god made you"

"No no no, not like that, I mean white and cis"

Transgendered people are an abomination, but fuckin a kid? Now, well, that’s just god’s will.

I’ve been waiting for him to to do something like this. It was too good to have a pope that didn’t seem evil.

The prince of PDF files should pipe down

Focusing the Friday morning address on the “anthropological crisis and the necessary promotion of human and Christian vocations,” Pope Francis said this task is challenged by myriad social challenges arising from the cultural zeitgeist, including gender ideology.

Highlighting the anthropological angle of the conference, the pope pointed to “an elementary and fundamental truth, which today we need to rediscover in all its beauty: The life of the human being is a vocation.”

The pope emphasized that this is a foundational element “which underlies every call within the community” and “has to do with an essential characteristic of the human being as such.”

What the fuck does this even mean?
