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.

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.

The Catholic church expressed clear support for Hitler's Nazi party. It's almost like shitbirds of a feather flock together to oppress minorities.

Mussolini made the Vatican a theocratic nation-state. It is baked into the cake.

“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.

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?

Aren't there multiple genocides going on right now?

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 year ago (1 children)

To be fair, genocide is nowhere near as bad as a man wearing a dress or something.

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.”

Came here looking for someone to have quoted this. I quote it to bigots all the time and it straight pisses them off.

I'm referring to the pope's acceptance of gay marriage

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.

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.

How will the priests, bishops, cardinals etc. know who to molest if they can't tell the boys from girls? And then what if they can't? They just STOP molesting people? Then what? Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together... MASS HYSTERIA!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I know a Ghostbusters reference from a mile away..

MASS HYSTERIA!

Seeing as how we're talking about the Catholic Church, hysteria at Mass seems relevant. 😉

Many many years ago, I saw a doco during a high school health class. It had stuff about gender identity, and included an interview from the 80's with George Pell. He was ranting about how fashion these days was too androgynous, and you couldn't tell the girls from the boys.

That was the first I ever heard from that man, and immediately disliked him.

Interesting to see where he ended up.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Google says he died in January 2023. So six feet under is where he ended up.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

After he spent too long as a powerful pedo priest.
