Newly-Elected Pope Leo XIV Opposed Gender Theory

Original Article

Posted By: earlybird, 5/9/2025 6:27:58 PM

Pope Leo XIV, the newly-elected leader of the Catholic Church, previously opposed the promotion of gender theory while serving as Bishop of Chiclayo in Peru. According to the New York Times, the Holy Father previously “opposed a government plan to add teachings on gender in schools.” “The promotion of gender ideology is confusing, because it seeks to create genders that don’t exist,” he told local news media at the time. The pope’s statements stand in line with his predecessor, Pope Francis, who repeatedly denounced gender ideology as an attack on children. In 2024, Pope Francis even referred to gender ideology as one of the ugliest ideologies of modern times, per the Vatican News.

It is so, so sad that these things even have to be said. Never in history have lunatics pretended that there were more than men or women. Now it must be explained. That is insane, literally.

A lot of the subjects that Democrats support like gender ideologies (just to mention one) are in disobedience to God. They seem to gravitate to disobedience. . .

I don't think this Pope will make any difference so long as he maintains his immigration position.

This attack on gender is not a fad - it is one of Satan's tools. The satanic idol looks like a male but has breasts. God created man and woman - so Satan attacks the very concept. The woman that God created was the more naive, and Satan continues to target silly liberal women.

I am hopeful about POPE Leo XIV. Cardinal Parolin was all in for LGBTQDEI, his main obsession. Pope Leo speaks many languages , especially Spanish where the faithful, impeccable Italian are and American where the money is. Remember the Peronista Pope only spoke Argentinian. As an American and Augustinian, he should understand that the Latin Mass current is stronger than our small numbers indicate. In most other parts of the world, except France, the prohibition has been successful. Just leave Catholic faithful alone and we will rebuild the Church according to Leo XIII’s Principle of Subsidiarity. Ending the Gay culture in the Vatican will be a positive step.

It’s a sad day in America when the chief justice of the U.S. Supreme Court ignores the basic framework of the Constitution he’s supposed to interpret. That’s what happened on Wednesday, when Chief Justice John Roberts took it upon himself to subtly thumb his nose at President Trump and conservatives (snip) … the judiciary is a co-equal branch of government, separate from the others, with the authority to interpret the Constitution as law and strike down, obviously, acts of Congress or acts of the president.

A few weeks ago, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent rightly pointed out that “Access to cheap goods is not the essence of the American dream. The American dream is rooted in the concept that any citizen can achieve prosperity, upward mobility, and economic security. For too long, the designers of multilateral trade deals have lost sight of this.” His comments received backlash from folks who believe that cheaply made Chinese goods are more important than the health of the American workforce and the longevity of our domestic economy. Former Vice President Mike Pence jumped on the bandwagon in an interview with CNN to declare that “Cheap goods are a big part

America’s Immigration Problem Won’t

On Monday President Donald Trump floated the idea that illegal aliens who voluntarily self-deport could be given a chance to come back legally, as though the only issue is mass illegal immigration. But this position represents a dangerous misdiagnosis of the real problem. It’s not that illegal immigration is a problem simply because it’s, well, illegal. Mass migration — whether legal or illegal — is national suicide. The sheer volume of foreign arrivals reshapes the country in ways no election can reverse and no bureaucratic process can fix. A nation isn’t just laws — a nation is its people, its culture, and its identity.

The former president sat down with the ladies on “The View” and discussed his presidency while slamming President Donald Trump, saying he had “the worst 100 days any president’s ever had.” Biden laughably suggested that he was in full control of his faculties while serving as president. However, he did take a modicum of responsibility for the Democrats’ humiliating losses in 2024, saying, “I was in charge, and he won.” There were some rather awkward moments during his appearance in which his wife, former first lady Jill Biden,

(Snip) A former New Hampshire attorney general, Souter’s background as a New England moderate put him at odds with the more conservative Republican Party forged by Ronald Reagan’s presidency. That perspective often left Souter in dissent on a conservative high court led by former Chief Justice William Rehnquist.

May 8, 2025, marks the 80th anniversary of the Allies’ triumph over Nazi Germany and the end of World War II in Europe. Through Lend Lease and the destroyers-for-bases scheme, we had become involved in the European war much earlier than Hitler’s declaration of war on the United States on December 11, 1941. American boots on the ground proved decisive in the Western Theater, from North Africa to Italy to Normandy to Germany itself. And American industry and money proved to be an overwhelming advantage, pumping out a nearly inexhaustible supply of matériel for the Allied cause.
