Barely two years into his pontificate, Pope Francis delivered this speech against gender ideology in a meeting with Catholic families in Manila\u2014calling it ideological colonization.<\/p>\n
POPE FRANCIS The following year, while flying back from Azerbaijan to Rome, the Pope said that everyone should have people beside them as Jesus did. And that, upon arriving in heaven, Jesus would not close the door on a homosexual because of their sexual orientation.<\/p>\n Even so, he expressed his concern about potential indoctrination in schools. As an example, he shared a story about a father.<\/p>\n POPE FRANCIS Pope Francis has often explained ideological colonization as trying to eliminate the natural differences between people, which ends up attacking Creation.<\/p>\n POPE FRANCIS At a press conference returning from Slovakia, the Pope explained that the sacrament of marriage is between a man and a woman and the Church cannot change that. He said that states may recognize the rights of homosexual couples for practical reasons, but can, in no case, form a marriage.<\/p>\n POPE FRANCIS Moreover, the Pope asks parents to love and not judge their children if they show same-sex attraction.<\/p>\n POPE FRANCIS These are Pope Francis' messages regarding gender ideology\u2014an issue that worries him and a topic that he has been warning against since the beginning of his pontificate.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n RM<\/p>\n TR: KG<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" October 14, 2022.

\n<\/strong>He asked his ten-year-old son, 'What do you want to be when you grow up?' 'I want to be a girl!' The dad realized that the school textbooks were teaching gender ideology. And this goes against what is natural. <\/em><\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Ideological and cultural colonizations only see the present; they deny the past and do not look to the future. They live in the moment, not in time, and therefore, they cannot promise us anything.<\/em><\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>But marriage, marriage as a sacrament, is between a man and a woman. Sometimes, what I was saying is, that there is confusion. We must\u2014all of us are equal\u2014respect everyone. The Lord is good and will save everyone. He wants everyone's salvation, but please do not make the Church renounce its truth.<\/em><\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Parents can see different sexual orientations in their children and know how to handle this\u2014to accompany their children and not hide behind condemnations.<\/em><\/p>\n
