The pope blamed what he called âideological colonizingâ backed by âvery influential countriesâ, which he did not identify.
Hey, remember that time Pope Francis compared trans people to nuclear weapons? His transphobia is showing again.Â
In a meeting last week, the pope said that itâs âterribleâ that children are taught to âchooseâ their gender, and that transgender people represent the âannihilation of man.â Thereâs this excerpt:
The pope said he wanted to conclude his remarks by reflecting on this: âWe are living a moment of annihilation of man as image of God.â He added that his predecessor, Benedict XVI, had labelled current times âthe epoch of sin against God the Creatorâ.
He said: âToday, in schools they are teaching this to children â to children! â that everyone can choose their gender.â Without specifying, he blamed this on textbooks supplied by âpersons and institutions who donate moneyâ. The pope blamed what he called âideological colonizingâ backed by âvery influential countriesâ, which he did not identify. One such âcolonizationâ, he said â âIâll say it clearly with its first and last name â is gender.â
And also this excerpt:
âToday, children are taught this at school: that everyone can choose their own sex,â Francis said last week, according to the Catholic Herald and other news organizations that read a Vatican transcript of the closed-door meeting. âGod created man and woman; God created the world like this and we are doing the exact opposite.â
Teaching children that they can pick their gender, Francis said, is âterrible.â
Saying it again: Maybe heâs said some more progressive things than other popes, but that doesnât make Pope Francis an ally.Â
I really donât think he should be accusing us of colonization, considering that heâs the head of the Catholic Fucking Church
I maintain that it is extremely and deliberately threatening to transgender people in Catholic countries in the global south for the Pope to be associating âtransgenderâ with âcolonialism.â There are already more trans women getting murdered in Brazil than in any of the country and the pope is intentionally pouring gasoline on this situation. Heâs from Latin America, he knows what heâs doing. The man is an overstuffed bag of turds with a mitre on.
Yeah, real sick of fellow liberals treating this guy like an amusing curiosity because he has, a couple of times, said things less terrible than people in his position have previously said.
He isnât admirable. He is corrupt, his church is corrupt, and the number of abuses of which they are guilty are too many to list.
