    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Pope Francis on Friday warned of the dangers of gender theory, saying he had commissioned studies into what he condemned as an “ugly ideology” that threatens humanity.

    Addressing participants of a two-day conference in the Vatican on the evolving role of men and women according to Christian teachings, Francis said what he called “gender ideology” was a threat because it sought to erase the difference between the sexes.

    The 87-year-old pontiff said he was still suffering from a recent cold and had asked an aide to read his speech, but first wanted to “underline” his feelings on gender theory.

    Francis, who has been hospitalized three times since becoming pope in 2013, began using a wheelchair and cane to walk after suffering knee trouble last year.

    The pontiff had cancelled appointments last Saturday and Monday due to a persistent, but “mild flu,” but appeared as usual for the Sunday blessing from a window overlooking St. Peter’s Square.

    Over the past few months, Francis had to cancel a few activities and one international trip due to his fragile health, which has recently raised worries over his capacity to continue to lead the Catholic Church.
