THE HOLY SEE DENOUNCES GENDER THEORY AT THE UN

In a text published on March 21, 2019 and read at an event organized by the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) on March 20, Bishop Bernardito Auza, Permanent Observer of the Holy See at the United Nations in New York denounced gender theory.

The sex of a person is an “objective given” and not a “choice,” wrote the prelate, recalling that when the CSW was created in 1947, “there was a clear understanding of what it meant to be a woman.” There was then “a little more than half of the human race born with two X chromosomes and particular characteristics differing from the other half of the human race, men.” This “consensus has unfortunately been eroded by the recent phenomenon of gender identity and gender ideology.”

According to the Philippine archbishop, “replacing biological sex with sexual identity or expression has enormous ramifications” as it affects all levels of life, even “basic anthropology.”

He condemns such an ideology, as it “reduces the person to mind and will,” almost to an “abstraction,” while she did not choose her sex. And to conclude that “Pope Francis is particularly concerned about teaching gender ideology to children.”
