Pope Francis Blasts Cancel Culture ‘Leaves No Space For Freedom Of Expression”
Pope Francis is probably one of the most outspoken popes we’ve had and now he’s coming for cancel culture!
While speaking to diplomats from 183 countries, Francis condemned cancel culture as “a form of ideological colonization — one that leaves no room for freedom of expression,” Insider reports.
“[Some attitudes] leave no room for freedom of expression and are now taking the form of the ‘cancel culture’ invading many circles and public institutions,” he added. “Under the guise of defending diversity, it ends up cancelling all sense of identity, with the risk of silencing positions.”
The pope also spoke on the consequences of it,
“As a result, agendas are increasingly dictated by a mindset that rejects the natural foundations of humanity and the cultural roots that constitute the identity of many people,” he said.
“Diplomacy is called to be truly inclusive, not canceling but cherishing the differences and sensibilities that have historically marked various peoples,” the pope added.
