Pope Francis spoke out strongly against abortion and gender ideology Friday, citing both as examples of “ideological colonization” during a speech in Budapest.

The pope’s denunciation came during an address to civil authorities and other dignitaries at a former Carmelite monastery in Hungary’s capital in which he lamented “self-referential forms of populism” and “supranationalism” gaining traction in Europe.

I think the Churches and Christians position on abortion and gender ideology is headed for a clash with mainstream society and we are seeing this happening now. On the one side the Geneder ideologes claim Affirmining Gender ideology is a Human Right and the right thing to do to care and protect Trans and gender non-conforming individuals.

On the other side Christians but also Conservatives and a growing number of Trans people themselves say that Gender ideeology is actual abuse as it meedicalizes people and forces them to conform to what is basically a belief and not science.

But Gender ideology has been presented in a way that its a Rights issue and this has allowed the ideology to creep into law and our institutions. So now anyone who speaks out against Gender ideology is branded hateful and denying Trans people their Rights. '

Already we are seeing hateful and violent clashes mainly from Trans activists attacking those who disagree. Whats concerning is that the system, police, government officials, public servants and big business is standing by and allowing this to happen as though they support shutting down any language or actions that disagrees.

This shows that the current Gender ideology issue is not about facts or reality for that matter but is an ideological war primarily between conservatives and Christians ande mainstream secular society which is current led by Leftist governments. I think society will only become more polarized over this perhaps to the point where there is a cultural war that divides and brings deown a society.
