Note: Dismissing James Martin and Jeanine Gramick rather than encouraging their rainbow agendas would have been a more eloquent gesture, but this is not without its confusing significance.

VATICAN CITY (CNS) — The gifts of men and women are “fruitful” together, and to erase the difference between men and women “is to erase humanity,” Pope Francis said.

“Today the worst danger is gender ideology, which erases differences,” he said, underlining that he has asked for studies to be done “about this ugly ideology of our time, which erases differences and makes everything equal.”

“To erase difference is to erase humanity. Man and woman, on the other hand, stand in fruitful ‘tension’” with each other, he said March 1.

The pope made his remarks as he opened an international congress in the Vatican Synod Hall titled, “Man-Woman: Image of God. For an Anthropology of Vocations.” (America Magazine)
