Pope Francis described so-called
gender ideology as the "ugliest danger" of our time as he
addressed participants at conference in the Vatican on Friday.
"It is very important that this meeting is taking place, this
encounter between men and women, because the ugliest danger
today is the gender ideology, which cancels out differences,"
the pope told participants at a conference entitled 'Man-Woman
Image of God - For an Anthropology of Vocations.
"I have asked for studies to be done on this ugly ideology of
our time, which cancels out differences and makes everything the
same; to cancel difference is to cancel humanity".
The pope said he is still under the weather and asked an aide,
Mons. Filippo Ciampanelli, to read out his speech to the
participants for him, "so I don't get so fatigued", as he has
gone with other audiences this week.
"I still have a cold and I get fatigued reading for a while," he
said.
