Last August, the Jesuit Pope, Pope Francis, met with a group of transgender people—men who identify as women—at the Vatican and referred to them as “daughters of God,” a statement that appears to contradict his previous statements on gender ideology. This means that he has changed version.
As he met with transgender people in Rome several times last year, the supreme Pontiff spoke about the meeting, and what he said could apply to any number of meetings. He recalled the meeting to the Spanish Catholic magazine Vida Nueva, saying, “[t]hey left crying, saying that I had given them my hand, a kiss, as if I had done something exceptional for them.” But they are God’s daughters, according to Il Giornale.
Other publications, including the online Catholic publication Crux Now, have translated Pope Francis’ statement differently, claiming that Pope Francis said transgender people were God’s children rather than daughters. The news outlet’s translation appears unlikely, as the Spanish newspaper La Razon quotes Pope Francis as saying “hijas,” which is Spanish for daughter.
The quote, which appears to show Pope Francis affirming transgender people’s chosen gender, runs counter to previous remarks Pope Francis has made on the subject of gender ideology and the phenomenon of transgenderism.
In 2016, Pope Francis released the encyclical “Amoris Laetitia,” which states:
[T]he young need to be helped to accept their own body as it was created, for “thinking that we enjoy absolute power over our own bodies turns, often subtly, into thinking that we enjoy absolute power over creation … An appreciation of our body as male or female is also necessary for our own self-awareness in an encounter with others different from ourselves. In this way we can joyfully accept the specific gifts of another man or woman, the work of God the Creator, and find mutual enrichment.” Only by losing the fear of being different, can we be freed of self-centredness and self-absorption. Sex education should help young people to accept their own bodies and to avoid the pretension “to cancel out sexual difference because one no longer knows how to deal with it.”
It seems that for Pope Francis, everyone is as he or she is, a child of God. I repeat that we are the creation of God, deserving of His mercy. But being children, sons and daughters of God means to be transformed, which is what to be born again means. It is more than just a profession of faith or merely stating that you believe in God. It is a new life in the Spirit and it is a new life that resembles Jesus as we live out His Word daily.
We are not born as God’s children, according to the Bible. The belief that we are all God’s children is never taught in the Bible and has resulted in a lot of bad theology. Although we are all created by God, Scripture teaches that we become children of God through spiritual adoption. We are, however, all created in the image of God. All humans have value, are God’s creations, and He loves us. He became His own creation to save and redeem us because He loves us. That is why Jesus had to come in the first place. If we are all already God’s children, Jesus did not need to die to redeem or adopt us. What exactly is He redeeming or adopting us for?
This is the language that the Bible frequently employs when discussing Jesus’ death: He “redeemed” us, we were “slaves” to sin, and we have been “adopted” into His family. We are born slaves to sin and we are raised in a world whose bosom lies on Satan. Scripture tells us that the god of the world is Satan, the god who runs the world. To become a child of God means to be reborn again:
John 1:12 – “But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.”
To become a child of God one needs to be spiritually reborn:
Romans 8:14-17: “For all those who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, ‘Abba! Father!’ The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs.”
When we are saved, we become God’s children because we are adopted into God’s family through our relationship with Jesus Christ. This is also mentioned in Galatians 4. Paul had just explained in chapter 3 that we are all sons of God through faith in Jesus. Our faith in Jesus is what makes us His children. If we belong to Christ, we are Abraham’s seed and heirs as children. This is significant because Paul emphasizes that the inheritance can onlWhen we are saved, we become God’s children because we are adopted into God’s family through our relationship with Jesus Christ.

If we belong to Christ, we are Abraham’s seed and heirs as children. This is significant because Paul emphasizes that the inheritance can only be received by an heir, a son. Paul compares this to someone who’s a slave to the world vs. being a child of God.
We must choose Jesus because when we do, we free ourselves from being slaves to the law and slaves of the elementary principles of the world.
Unfortunately, people think it backward and think that the world is condemned because God condemned us to this enslaving world. The truth is that it is choosing evil and sin that condemns us.
Galatians 3:22-25: “but the Scripture declares that the whole world is a prisoner of sin, so that what was promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe. Before this faith came, we were held prisoner by the law, locked up and tell Faith should be revealed. So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith.”
If you’re a child of God, it means you’ve experienced the spiritual new birth, are born again, and are saved.
Why is Pope Francis teaching this and adhering to this before uttering such statements after shifting from his original version?
In an age where we are witnessing the normalizing and legalizing of paedophilia, the pride and LGBTIQA+ agenda and so forth, doesn’t such statements by Pope Francis make you raise eyebrows?
Is Pope Francis the pope that the Masons wanted: a pope who would be sympathetic to humanitarian principles of liberty, equality, fraternity and human dignity at the expense of Truth and at the expense of not honouring Christ?
Pope Francis: transsexuals are children of God

In 2016, Pope Francis released the encyclical “Amoris Laetitia,” which states:
So, first, Pope Francis was highly critical of gender ideology, calling it “ideological colonisation” in 2016 and that it is dangerous for children to be taught in school that everyone can choose his or her sex because “it blurs differences and the value of men and women” to now changing version and saying that transsexuals are daughters of God.
