    Pope Francis criticized radical gender ideology in a recent interview, referring to it as "one of the most dangerous ideological colonizations" in the current public discourse.

    Francis spoke on that topic and others with journalist Elisabetta Piqué for an interview published March 10 in the Argentine daily newspaper La Nación - and he explained that gender ideology was dangerous because it blurred the lines between male and female, diminishing the inherent value held by each.

    "Gender ideology, today, is one of the most dangerous ideological colonizations," Francis said. "Why is it dangerous? Because it blurs differences and the value of men and women. All humanity is the tension of differences. It is to grow through the tension of differences. The question of gender is diluting the differences and making the world the same, all dull, all alike, and that is contrary to the human vocation."

    The Pope explained that while he was not planning to write anything extensive on the topic of gender, he did find it necessary to address the issue from time to time, largely "because some people are a bit naive and believe that it is the way to progress."

    He went on to say that he believed it was important to draw a distinction "between what pastoral care is for people who have a different sexual orientation and what gender ideology is ... they are two different things."

    The problem, he said, was that advocates of gender ideology were blurring the lines between the sexes - a move that he worried was a step down the road to erasing humanity.

    They "do not distinguish what is respect for sexual diversity or diverse sexual preferences from what is already an anthropology of gender, which is extremely dangerous because it eliminates differences, and that erases humanity, the richness of humanity, both personal, cultural, and social, the diversities and the tensions between differences," he said.

    Pope Francis compared the current climate to the world presented in a 1907 book by Monsignor Robert Hugh Benson titled "Lord of the World" - a world that portrayed "a future in which differences are disappearing and everything is the same, everything is uniform, a single leader of the whole world."

It has been far too many years since the Woke theology interlaced its canons within the fabric of the Indoctrination Realm, so it is nigh time to ask: Does this Representative Republic continue, as a functioning society of a self-governed people, by contending with the unusual, self absorbed dictates of the Woke, and their vast array of Victimhood scenarios?
  Yes, the Religion of Woke must continue; there are so many groups of underprivileged, underserved, a direct result of unrelenting Inequity; they deserve everything.
  No; the Woke fools must be toppled from their self-anointed pedestal; a functioning society of a good Constitutional people cannot withstand this level of "existential" favoritism as it exists now.
  I just observe; with this thoughtful observation: What will happen "when the Vikings are breeching our walls;" how do the Woke react?

Considering how abjectly corrupt and civilly abusive the Left has become regarding the corrosive effect of their elected leaders; their entrenched and ruling bureaucracy; employing their failed Education Industry as Indoctrinators; their collusive private sector operators, such as the terminally discredited Legacy Media and Big Tech censorship of Free Speech: What will be the best course forward for hardworking Middle Americans, including the Patriot Class?
  Withdraw from society, go underground and plan for a resurgence when it is feasible to do so.
  Work within the confines of better policy by the People's government, once good sense and sanity is restored in the electorate at large, to achieve such.
  Are you a crazy, nut-job Insurrectionist? Everything is perfect within our plan to achieve our intended goals for the Socialist Left.
  Secession to form a true Constitutional Republic.
