BOGOTA – Emboldened by Pope Francis' strong critique of "gender theory," Cardinal Rubén Salazar Gómez of Colombia is successfully challenging his country's embrace of the transgender movement, according to a recent report by Crux, an online Catholic news outlet.
Salazar, who has served as the Archbishop of Bogota since 2010, recently launched a successful campaign to stop the Colombian government from adopting revisions to student textbooks and teachers' manuals that endorsed the notion that individuals can choose to be either male or female.
(CNSNews.com) – Pope Francis said Sunday he does not like speaking about Islamic violence, telling reporters on a flight to Rome that violent people were found in all religions, including his own.
"There is always a small group of extremists in practically every religion," he said. "We have them too."
