In this document the Holy Father is very clear about the dangers of this ideology: “It is a source of concern that some ideologies of this sort, which seek to respond to what are at times understandable aspirations, manage to assert themselves as absolute and unquestionable, even dictating how children should be raised. It needs to be emphasized that “biological sex and the socio-cultural role of sex (gender) can be distinguished but not separated.” (Emphasis added – please be aware of those who untether sex and gender.)
