Erasing differences is erasing humanity.&quot;</p><p>The Argentine pontiff has repeatedly railed against gender theory, also called gender ideology, which broadly speaking is the idea that you do not have to adhere to the gender you were born with, and that gender is a product of societal norms, rather than purely biology.</p><p>In 2019, the Vatican published an educational document intended to help Catholic school teachers counter ideas which &quot;deny the natural difference between a man and a woman&quot;.</p><div><strong>cmk/ar/jm</strong></div><div><strong></strong><strong>© Agence France-Presse</strong></div><div><ivs-player data-ivs-key="e8c22c015ca9eafa76f1e3edfa03c603" data-ivs-spid="3001339" data-ivs-vid="2908344"></ivs-player></div><script src="https://player.ivideosmart.com/ivsplayer/v4/dist/js/loader.js"></script>
