Robert the Sinner (his current manifestation) often promulgates the latest propaganda offerings from the Catholic Church aka The Vatican. These are in the form of the regular missives sent from The Vatican to its outpost churches around the world and are about whatever 'bee in the bonnet' the pope and his cohorts have at the time.
It seems that they are on the attack against gender theory and have wrapped up denunciation of this and LGBQT issues in a 12,000-word treatise articulating previous church teaching on a number of issues related to human dignity. This is the release of the Vatican declaration Dignitis Infinita.
Robert posted a snippet of this stuff today see: HERE where he concentrated on parts 61 and 62 (there are 66 parts) which cover digital violence. Robert skipped over the sections on war, human trafficking, sexual abuse, violence against women, abortion, surrogacy, euthanasia, marginalisation of people with disabilities, sex change and of course gender theory - the one, as I said, that The Vatican were really on about.
Maybe they will follow later and the official talking points this week will be digital violence:
"Although the advancement of digital technologies may offer many possibilities for promoting human dignity, it
also increasingly tends toward the creation of a world in which exploitation, exclusion, and violence grow,
extending even to the point of harming the dignity of the human person. Consider, for example, how easy it is
through these means to endanger a person’s good name with fake news and slander. On this point, Pope
Francis stresses that “it is not healthy to confuse communication with mere virtual contact."
This was a follow up to his post on a rather dodgy University of Groningen 15-year study of 2,772 individuals which 'found' that 11% of 11-year-olds had transgender inclinations—but that only 4% did at the age of 26.
As the post was short I'll copy and paste it here:
Children outgrow transgender inclinations.
'A 15-year study of 2,772 individuals, conducted by researchers at the University of Groningen, found that 11% of 11-year-olds had transgender inclinations—but that only 4% did at the age of 26.
“Gender non-contentedness, while being relatively common during early adolescence, in general, decreases with age and appears to be associated with a poorer self-concept and mental health throughout development,” the researchers stated.'
Robert the Sinner
I wrote a comment to this:"This was a dodgy study with loaded questions most to do with girls wanting to be boys for reasons of equality rather than transgender issues. It was endorsed by Elon Musk which is why it’s getting coverage that it normally wouldn't for something so unscientific."
The Curmudgeon
This was obviously a softening punch sent out by The Vatican before the killer blow of the Dignitis Infinita.The Dignitis Infinita isn't new. It's really a summary of current church doctrine related to the afore-mentioned human dignity but also on war, poverty, sex abuse and human trafficking. It refers to previous popes and Vatican material while attempting to assimilate them with Pope Francis's proclamations.
Amongst the other stuff is the talking point that The Vatican really want their dupes acolytes congregation to be aware of - trying to change peoples' gender identities is akin to trying to become God.
57. Regarding gender theory, whose scientific coherence is the subject of considerable debate among experts, the Church recalls that human life in all its dimensions, both physical and spiritual, is a gift from God. This gift is to be accepted with gratitude and placed at the service of the good. Desiring a personal self-determination, as gender theory prescribes, apart from this fundamental truth that human life is a gift, amounts to a concession to the age-old temptation to make oneself God, entering into competition with the true God of love revealed to us in the Gospel.
“'In recent decades, attempts have been made to introduce new rights that are neither fully consistent with those originally defined nor always acceptable,’” the declaration recalled. "'They have led to instances of ideological colonization, (sic) in which gender theory plays a central role; the latter is extremely dangerous since it cancels differences in its claim to make everyone equal.’”
There is an urgent need to achieve real equality in every area: equal pay for equal work, protection for working mothers, fairness in career advancements, equality of spouses with regard to family rights and the recognition of everything that is part of the rights and duties of citizens in a democratic State.”Pope Francis

ReplyDeleteOut of interest I asked ChatGPT what the Catholic Church thought about Gender Theory. This is the answer:
ReplyDeleteThe Catholic Church's stance on gender theory is rooted in its understanding of human nature, sexuality, and God's plan for creation. The Church teaches that God created human beings as male and female, each with unique and complementary characteristics, and that this sexual dimorphism is part of God's plan for humanity.
Gender theory, on the other hand, challenges traditional understandings of gender as a binary concept (male and female) and instead proposes that gender is a social construct, fluid, and not necessarily tied to biological sex. Some proponents of gender theory advocate for a spectrum of gender identities beyond just male and female, and they argue for greater freedom for individuals to self-identify their gender.
The Catholic Church has expressed concerns about gender theory for several reasons:
Anthropological Concerns: The Church believes that gender theory undermines the understanding of human nature as created by God. It asserts that being male and female is not merely a social construct but is rooted in biology and reflects a deeper truth about human identity.
Family and Marriage: The Church teaches that marriage is between one man and one woman and that the family, based on this union, is the fundamental unit of society. Gender theory, by challenging traditional understandings of gender roles and identities, can be seen as potentially undermining the institution of marriage and the family.
Concerns about Human Dignity: The Church is concerned that gender theory may lead to confusion and harm, particularly for children and adolescents who may be encouraged to question their biological sex or undergo irreversible medical interventions.
Moral and Ethical Concerns: The Church believes that every person, regardless of their gender identity, is a beloved child of God deserving of respect and dignity. However, it also teaches that certain actions or beliefs contrary to natural law or divine revelation may be morally problematic.
Overall, the Catholic Church's stance on gender theory reflects its broader teachings on human nature, sexuality, and the sanctity of life, as well as its commitment to upholding traditional understandings of marriage and family.
Interesting.
When I read the first sentence including 'promulgates the latest propaganda', I thought 'here we go again'.
ReplyDeleteBut it turned out to be a well thought out blog.
I would say that the study the vatican released is backed up by health professionals who have to 'pick up the pieces' later down the track. Our society is all about what feels right. Morals are whatever you want them to be.
"Morals are whatever you want them to be." That's an interesting comment. Is that an excuse for the bible?
