The Italian transsexual Alessia Nobile, who has visited the Holy Father on several occasions, showed the press a handwritten letter that Francis sent her calling her “dear sister”.
"Dear sister, thank you very much for your email," Francis writes to the transsexual Alessia Nobile, in a letter shown to the press by the subject himself. "I was touched. I agree with you on the bias issue. It hurts so much! In the eyes of God we are all his children, and that is what counts! We have a Father who loves us, who is close with compassion and tenderness. Everyone, no one excluded. This is precisely God's style: closeness, compassion, tenderness. I pray for you, do it for me. May the Lord bless you and the Virgin keep you. Fraternally, Francis.
Alessia Nobile, Italian transsexual activist and author of 'The invisible child', along with five other transsexuals, met last June with the Pope in a private audience at the request of the pontiff himself, and has told the Italian news portal Fanpage about the meeting.
It was Sister Genevie, a nun who lives in an amusement park near Rome, who proposed the meeting to the Pope. "Bring them all," was Francisco's reply.
“We met at the Vatican together with the nun and a priest, who is part of the Christian group lgbt + Nazionale TRANSizioni. The Pope received us individually and I was the first. Bringing my book to him was a dream come true,” confesses Nobile.
"He didn't want me to kneel, he shook my hand and when I introduced myself as a transgender girl he replied that he didn't care who I was, that we have only one Father, as if you want to tell me that you are a sister."
Alessia handed her book to the Pope, who “took it and told me, you were right, you were right to write your story. So she recommended that I always be myself, but not get wrapped up in prejudice against the Church.”
The Pope's acknowledgment that the gender that corresponds to Nobile is not the one God gave him, but the one he has chosen, which he does in the initial greeting itself, leads us to wonder if we will also have to review Genesis and adapt the words: "Male and female God created them."
It is difficult to fight the cultural war against this fierce enemy that is gender ideology when the Vicar of Christ himself seems to give in to its demands.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
