Pope Francis: Gender ideology is ‘one of the most dangerous ideological colonizations’

Pope Francis: Gender ideology is ‘one of the most dangerous ideological colonizations’ today
https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/253845/pope-francis-gender-ideology-is-one-of-the-most-dangerous-ideological-colonizations-today
quote:
Pope Francis has said that gender ideology is “one of the most dangerous ideological colonizations” today.
In an interview with journalist Elisabetta Piqué for the Argentine daily newspaper La Nación, Pope Francis explained the reasoning behind his strong statement.
“Gender ideology, today, is one of the most dangerous ideological colonizations,” Francis said in the interview published on the evening of March 10.
“Why is it dangerous? Because it blurs differences and the value of men and women,” he added.
quote:
“All humanity is the tension of differences. It is to grow through the tension of differences. The question of gender is diluting the differences and making the world the same, all dull, all alike, and that is contrary to the human vocation.”
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. These forms of ideological colonization are also supported by influential countries. And this is terrible!”
The pope told Piqué that he was not currently writing a new encyclical and denied that he had been asked to write a document on the subject of gender.
While he is not writing something 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.”
The pope noted that he always distinguishes “between what pastoral care is for people who have a different sexual orientation and what gender ideology is.”
“They are two different things,” he added.
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.
quote:
He said that the book presents the idea of “a future in which differences are disappearing and everything is the same, everything is uniform, a single leader of the whole world.”
In the interview with La Nación — the third papal interview published on March 10 — Pope Francis also reflected on the 10 years of his pontificate, his concern for the war in Ukraine, and why he has not traveled to his native Argentina.
Days ahead of the 10th anniversary of his pontificate on March 13, the pope said that he was especially happy about the legacy of his “pastoral line of forgiveness and understanding of the people, to make room in the Church for everyone.”
Asked to identify any mistakes he might have made in the past 10 years, the pope regretted times when he had lost his patience.
quote:
“More than once. It did not appear in the newspapers, but more than once,” he added with a laugh.

I'm not really a fan of this pope, but when he is right I will give him credit.

I can't believe he said it.

The old demonic actually said something correct?
It's usually the U.S. Bishops/Diocese promoting what the Bible actually says because Dope Francis is constantly putting his opinion over the Bible and Jesus.

I have not been a fan of Francis either but his thoughts indicate some wisdom on this subject. About time that he gave some direction to the audience.

I am confused by his correct but somewhat hesitant statement.

That phrase "anthropology of gender" is likely to make LGTBQ+ANUS crowd throw fits as it flies directly against "gender is a societal construct", which is the foundation for their entire philosophy.

Good for the Pope for denouncing this evil for what it is. We can only pray Pope Francis denounces the other antireligous “ideological colonizations” occurring within the Church.
Communism too seeks to “erase the richness of humanity” by forbidding genuine religious expression. No amount of hermeneutic needle threading changes Communism’s foundational hatred of the Godhead.

Just think for a second about "where" you've formed your opinion about Francis being an outright prog or "who" has told you he is about to flip Catholic teachings over. He is often too ambiguous, yet he still says the following:
“There are absolutely no grounds for considering homosexual union to be in any way similar or even remotely analogous to God’s plan for marriage and family.”
“Whoever has an abortion kills.” “It is a human life,” Francis said. “This human life must be respected — this principle is so clear.”
Today, there is a global war out to destroy marriage,” Francis said. “Not with weapons but with ideas ... we have to defend ourselves from ideological colonization.”
"Let's think of the nuclear arms, of the possibility to annihilate in a few instants a very high number of human beings. Let's think also of genetic manipulation, of the manipulation of life, or of the gender theory, that does not recognize the order of creation."
"The family is threatened by growing efforts on the part of some to redefine the very institution of marriage, by relativism, by the culture of the ephemeral, by a lack of openness to life."

It's almost like someone engineered a multi-pronged social weapon to destroy the future of America.

As a Catlick and not a big fan of this pope, good for him
That said, it's sad we are almost relieved and celebrating what should be no-brainer and indisputable comments from the head of the Catholic church.

Those are surprising from what we normally hear from Francis

Just think about where you are hearing from the Pope.
We were spoiled with St JP II and Benedict. Francis is too ambiguous too often for my liking, but lets not pretend he is openly praising gay marriage or transgenderism like the PCUSA, Episcopalians, or many other mainline denoms.
What alot fail to take into account is the pivotal role of Natural Law in the fundamental teachings of the Church. Francis isn't about to line up against Aquinas or many others in an arguement over the nature, role, or complementary God designed purpose for things (marriage, sex/gender, work, or sex/intercourse).

The Pope still believes in the Biblical creation narrative.
And in 2023 this comes as a bit of a surprise.

good to see you distinguish the PCUSA from the reformed Presbyterian organizations. There are stark differences, as you probably know.
FYI, Generally PCUSA represents the left end of the Presbyterian spectrum. PCA, Reformed Pres., Orthodox Pres., are conservative/ bible centric. FYI, “Presbyterian” is the governance structure of the church. We probably don’t need to anyone which side is growing and which is losing.

So when is the LGBTQIalmnop community scheduling a protest at the Vatican and Biden paying for their trips?

When it comes to morality, Francis probably lines up with 90% of the people on this forum (progressives and liberals excluded). However, his views on economics and capitalism definitely rub many of us here the wrong way.

IMO Pope Francis is no Karol Józef Wojtyla (Pope John Paul II), but he's all we've got.
In the past I've been disturbed by some of his doctrinal declarations.
This is not one of them. I agree with his position on this subject.
Moral Relativism and the deviant sickness it produces is the great poison of our time. No other way to describe this Gender Ideology - it is the work of the satanic.
In nomine Iesu christi Crucifixi iubeo vos satanas discedere a nobis. Amen
