Pope Francis Blasts Gender Ideology As ‘One Of The Most Dangerous Ideological Colonizations’
“Gender ideology, today, is one of the most dangerous ideological colonizations,” Francis said. “Why is it dangerous? Because it blurs differences and the value of men and women. All humanity is the tension of differences. It is to grow through the tension of differences. The question of gender is diluting the differences and making the world the same, all dull, all alike, and that is contrary to the human vocation.”
The problem, he said, was that advocates of gender ideology were blurring the lines between the sexes — a move that he worried was a step down the road to erasing humanity.
Pope Francis compared the current climate to the world presented in a 1907 book by Monsignor Robert Hugh Benson titled “Lord of the World” — a world that portrayed “a future in which differences are disappearing and everything is the same, everything is uniform, a single leader of the whole world.”

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Since when does the leader of a paedophile army get to tell other people what qualifies as 'dangerous'??

Not to mention "boring". Imagine, the pope is saying that people are becoming boring (dull) - has he looked at his life recently?

And people keep insisting he's the moderate one and a moderniser. Bergoglio is as much a nazi as Ratzinger was.

There is a Christian movie that is making mass healings of people who pay to see it in a theatre from... demons.
Quote:During the premiere of the faith-based film “Come Out In Jesus Name,’ mass deliverance, healings, and miracles broke out in theaters.
“It’s just happening, people being healed, people being set free. Pastors that went in as critical skeptics walking out saying, ‘Well, I can’t put that back in the box. What am I going to do with that?'” he said.
Further, Greg Locke revealed that it happened in more than just one theater in America. The “demonic manifestations, healings, and miracles” actually happened to “every single theater.”
He also addressed the skeptics who doubted the film and the testimonies.
“I mean, you can’t make that up!” he said. “I’m on the big screen, it’s not like I’m there. There’s no music, there’s no manipulation.”
Greg stressed that even “the best organizational team could never pull that off.”
Moreover, Charisma Media’s Executive VP of Business Development Chad Dunlap also shared what he saw with his eyes at the theatre. He described the mass deliverances in the full-packed theater as “emotional and powerful.”
“Demons were manifesting in the theater and breakthrough was received by many people who attended,” he recounted.

If the film is faith based, why do you have to go to see it? Can’t you just pray and imagine seeing it? Sound very much like it is celluloid based, not faith based. Another con.

In MAGA-world and Christian Nationalism circles, many Trump supporters see his imminent arrest as eerily similar to the crucification of Jesus Christ
The former president has long played a key role in the imaginations of Christian nationalists, who believe America is an inherently Christian nation, should have Christian laws, and that Trump is their savior. Christian nationalist language has seeped into MAGA-world rhetoric, but Trump’s imminent arrest has taken it to new heights.
Lawyer Joseph McBride, who is representing a handful of Jan. 6 defendants, thinks that the timing of Trump’s likely arrest is notable.
“President Trump will be arrested during lent—a time of suffering and purification for the followers of Jesus Christ,” McBride wrote on Twitter. “As Christ was crucified, and then rose again on the 3rd day, so too will @realdonaldtrump.”
“Rome tried to silence a peaceful leader via political persecution, and ended up creating the most pervasive & permanent religious figure in all of world history,” MAGA-world influencer Reanna Dilley wrote on Twitter. “Good fucking luck, New York.”
Trump’s base worshiped him as a heaven-sent, Christ-like figure, despite his crass language, reported philandering, and scant evidence that he regularly attended church before running for president. His presidency helped usher in a new era of Christian nationalism, a right-wing philosophy whose adherents believe Trump is on a mission to restore God's kingdom in America by transforming its laws and cultural institutions to reflect evangelical Christian values. A widely-cited study identified Christian nationalism as the dominant ideology among the Jan. 6 Capitol rioters. And there’s even a book, “President Donald J. Trump, The Son of Man—The Christ,” written by a Trump supporter.
In the Christian nationalist theological framework, all manner of right-wing culture war issues, including drag shows, COVID-19 vaccines, and now the looming indictment of Trump, became primordial battles between good and evil.
