<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;" align="center">Pope Francis has always believed that gender identity classes don&rsquo;t belong in schools, but lately he has been much more public with his opposition.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Over the weekend, during a trip to Georgia and Azerbaijan ;he stated that teaching children that gender is a choice is part of the &#8220;global war out to destroy marriage&rdquo; and that it is &ldquo;against nature.&rdquo; ;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">He reasons that when a child is taught this in school it&rsquo;s &ldquo;ideological colonization.&rdquo; Basically, they are being conditioned to believe that changing their gender is totally okay. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> ;</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&#8220;Today, there is a global war out to destroy marriage. Not with weapons but with ideas &#8230; we have to defend ourselves from ideological colonization,&rdquo; said Francis. <br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /> <!--[endif]--></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Pope Francis sees rejecting what God intended for your body and self as a sin. &#8220;Speaking with Pope Benedict, who is well, and has a clear mind, he was telling me: &#8216;Holiness, this is the epoch of sin against God the Creator.&#8217; He&rsquo;s intelligent! God created man and woman, God created the world this way, this way, this way, and we are doing the opposite,&#8221; said Francis, reported by <em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">USA Today.</em>  ;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">He is referring to the number of transgender individuals who have had surgery to change their biological sex and destroyed their reproduction organs to make the transformation.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Pope has a point about this ideological colonization. The Trans Agenda continues to gain momentum and the children being forced into this movement by parents are being abused.  ;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">&ldquo;Conditioning children into believing a lifetime of chemical and surgical impersonation of the opposite sex is normal and healthful is child abuse,&rdquo; according to American College of Pediatricians (ACPeds.) &ldquo;The American College of Pediatricians (ACPeds) urges educators and legislators to reject all policies that condition children to accept as normal a life of chemical and surgical impersonation of the opposite sex. Facts &ndash; not ideology &ndash; determine reality.&rdquo;</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is a global issue. 80 primary-school aged children per year are expected to begin the transition process, according to Mermaids, a charity that assists families with transgendered children and teenagers.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As the concept of gender theory begins to be more prevalent, more children will be confused about their gender and will question if they are meant to be a different sex.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This only promotes transgenderism in children. Making the decision to get gender reassignment surgery is something that will inevitably change a person&rsquo;s life forever. Parents are doing an injustice to their child if they allow them to make this decision at such a young age.</p>
