Pope Francis speaks with journalists aboard a plane during his flight from Baku to Rome Cheap Matt Haack Jersey , on October 2, 2016 (AFP PhotoLuca Zennaro) Aboard the papal plane - Pope Francis has said teaching children gender theory in schools was an "insidious indoctrination", even as he insisted he had always treated homosexuals and transsexuals with respect.
"It is one thing to have homosexual tendencies or a sex change," the pope said in comments to journalists made on board the papal plane after he wrapped up a three-day tour in the Caucasus and headed home to Rome.
"But it is another thing to teach it in schools."
Trying to "change attitudes" like this is "ideological colonisation Cheap Cody Parkey Jersey ," the pope said, building on comments he made Saturday in Tbilisi, when he argued that gender theory was part of a "global war" on traditional family values and marriage.
Gender theory is, broadly speaking Cheap Julius Thomas Jersey , the idea that while people may be biologically male or female, they may choose to identify as male or female -- or both or neither.
When asked about his attitude to homosexual or transsexual people, Pope Francis repeated his call that they should be welcomed, accepted and integrated into society as much as possible.
"I accompanied people with these tendencies Cheap Nate Allen Jersey , with homosexual practices, I brought them closer to the Lord," he said.
"Some were not able (to follow the church's teachings), but I never abandoned one of them Cheap Jordan Phillips Jersey ," he said.
The pontiff, who took the papal name Francis in homage to Saint Francis of Assisi, the Christian friar devoted to the downtrodden, told reporters about a Spanish person who had a sex change to become a man and then married a woman.
A local priest told the couple they would "go to hell" Cheap DeVante Parker Jersey , which caused them great suffering, but after they wrote to Francis, the pope received them and treated them with dignity, he said.
"Please don't write that the pope will sanctify transsexuals. I can see the front pages of papers now," he added.
"It is a moral question, and it must be resolved as best as possible Cheap Laremy Tunsil Jersey , always with the mercy of God."
Earlier in his papacy, Francis famously said "who am I to judge?" about homosexuality but in April this year refused to recognise same sex couples in new Church guidelines on family life.
UNITED NATIONS, May 28 (Xinhua) -- The UN Security Council on Thursday deplored the shooting incident that took place in Bamako, Mali Cheap Cordrea Tankersley Jersey , on Monday, and called on the Malian authorities to "swiftly and thoroughly investigate the incident and bring the perpetrators to justice."
