cw transphobia

Pope Francis reiterated his opposition to transgenderism on Friday, warning that it’s a “dangerous ideology” and arguing that its proponents are naïve if they believe they’re on the “path to progress.”

“Gender ideology, today, is one of the most dangerous ideological colonizations,” the pope said in an interview to Argentina’s La Nacion newspaper. “Why is it dangerous? Because it blurs differences and the value of men and women.”

The pontiff has repeatedly spoken out against gender theory over the years, even as he has emphasized the need to be welcoming and provide pastoral care for transgender people. For instance, he has likened gender ideology to nuclear arms and genetic manipulation, and he has warned that it’s part of a “global war” against marriage and the family.

      The more I think about religiously normalized spirit summoning, necromancy, and cannibalism, the less sense it makes for them to be the arbiters of what is normal and baseline behavior.

    Organized Religion is a most dangerous ideological colonization.

    I am a gay.

    It was religious dogma that was the ideological colonization er "mind virus" that caused my heart to malfunction to the point where I was on heart pills. The doctors couldn't explain it. Said I'd be on them "for life".

    It was because I was closeted and not being honest to myself. When I was forced to confront that and be honest with who I really am the heart issues stopped. It was all subconscious psychological stress internalized due to almost 20 years of societal and religious conditioning.

    The church's death cult dogma was litteraly killing me from the inside.

    fuck the pope. fuck Catholicism. i wouldn't have spent literal DECADES deep in the closet if it wasn't for your repressive ideologies.

    liberation theology is the only good thing to come from it and it doesn't make up for the millennia of bullshit

    The fucking pope used the term 'ideological colonization' in transpjovic rhetoric.

    We may have no choice but to talk like normal people from now on

    Why is it dangerous? Because it blurs differences and the value of men and women.

    Okay, why is that so dangerous?

    I'm grateful I was raised Catholic just because evangelical fundamentalism is worse. Lesser of two 'christian' evils, I guess. They can all eat shit and die. Hateful ideologies that can join in the universal union known as "death."

    Sorry Francis, I'm simply not going to take the opinions of an organisation who thinks condom use is worse than an AIDS epidemic seriously. Go outside and play with your hats.

      He actually said that matter shouldn't be as ironclad as before, which made the Knights of Malta flip the fuck out and demand he step down or some shit
