English Bishops Apologize for Catholic Flyer Challenging Gender Theory

Mainstream media calls traditionalist Catholic charity a 'hate group'

Dioceses in England have apologized for a leaflet critiquing gender theory after social media criticism from trans-activists and the National Secular Society.

The flyers headlined "Gender Theory NO!" were inserted into Catholic newspapers all over Britain in the same week as the Vatican's Congregation for Catholic Education released its document "'Male and Female He Created Them': Towards a Path of Dialogue on the Question of Gender theory in Education."

The front of the leaflet features a group of young boys and girls asking: "Am I a boy? Am I a girl? Or both?" Under it is the verse from Genesis 1:27: "Male and female He created them."

The flyer advertises the booklet "Gender Theory: Diversity or 21st Century Totalitarianism?" published by Tradition Family Property (TFP), a traditionalist Catholic charity based in Scotland.

The leaflets also warn against "Gender Theory" as a "delirious ideology claiming everyone can fancy themselves as a man, woman, neither or both at the same time according to mere whims."

They caution parents to beware of "sophisticated activists" who "are already at work to impose their anti-Christian and anti-God views on children at your school."

The flyers were sent to Catholic schools and churches in the archdiocese of Liverpool as inserts in the Catholic Pic — the archdiocesan magazine. Inserting leaflets as part of paid-for advertising is normal procedure.

"Male and female He created them."

I always took it to mean he created males and females. Now, it seems to be reinterpreted as "He made each of them both male and female," i.e., full of gender fluid(ity).

When church leaders show cowardice rather than standing for truth, that church is fallen.

IF they were "Catholic" they would not apologize for telling the truth.

I'm waiting for Apple to be called out for its Catholic bigotry for using the Hoky Poky song in its latest ad. (It originated to make fun of Catholic sit, stand, kneel practices at Mass)

The flyers are right. Truth cannot be denied.

The church refuses to condemn molester priests as homosexual pedophiles. Now they apologize for their beliefs. Cowardice shows a lack of conviction.

Bad decision, but there's still time to reconcile with Jesus. Peace

Senior Catholic Clergy actually make the Republican Party
seem stiff-spined by comparison.
