Pope Francis on
Thursday spoke out against a recent "tendency to cancel out" the
differences between men and woman.
This difference, he said at an audience with the John Paul
II Institute for the Family, was a "richness" and part of "God's
design".
He said God had "entrusted the alliance of man and woman to
the world and history".
It is "very disconcerting," Francis went on, "to see that
now this culture appears to be blocked by a tendency to cancel
the difference instead of solving the problems that mortify it".
The pope added that marriage was being threatened by
"narcissism and selfishness".
