Pope 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”.

In a dress. I love you, Pope Francis, but have you seen what the guys around you are wearing?

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.
