Related: About this forumPope Francis denounces transgender people as ‘annihilation of man’
VATICAN CITY (AP) Pope Francis has lamented that children are being taught at school that gender can be a choice.
Francis made his remarks during a private meeting last week with bishops from Poland during his pilgrimage there. The Vatican released a transcript on Tuesday of those closed-door remarks.
The pope said he wanted to conclude his remarks by reflecting on this: We are living a moment of annihilation of man as image of God. He added that his predecessor, Benedict XVI, had labelled current times the epoch of sin against God the Creator.

I have had people tell me a variation on this to my face. God does not make mistakes which is about when I ignore them.
Well, I beg to differ.
