Pope Francis, the leader of Catholicism, recently denounced “gender ideology”, labelling it as the “most dangerous colonisation.”

The Pope made the comments during a conversation with the Argentinian newspaper LA NACION on Friday, the 10th of March, where the Pope criticised present-day dialogues concerning gender.

“Why is it dangerous?” he asked Vatican correspondent Elisabetta Piqué, “Because it blurs differences and the value of men and women.”

Pope Francis continued by saying that so-called “gender ideology” “goes beyond the sexual” and feels that “the question of gender is diluting the differences and making the world the same, all dull, all alike”. 

“That is contrary to the human vocation,” he added before saying that gender ideology “eliminates differences, and that erases humanity, the richness of humanity, both personal, cultural, and social, the diversities and the tensions between differences.”

Piqué then questioned the Pope’s thoughts on a form she had filled in recently, enabling individuals to tick either male, female or non-binary.
 
“It raises a future in which the differences are disappearing, and everything is the same, everything is uniform, a single boss of the whole world,” he told the reporter before adding that it reminded him of Monsignor Robert Hugh Benson’s 1907 dystopian novel, The Lord of the World.
