Catholic Activism: Bioethics, Reproductive Rights and Gender

Abstract:

This article will follow the process of formation, in the Catholic Church, of an activism opposed to the sexual and reproductive rights and opposed to the-gender. We will retrace the lines of institutional policy instituted by the Vatican that culminated in a Catholic militant explosion against these themes. We will analyze from the organization of a scientific, academic and doctrinal offensive, until the organization of the pastoral offensive, centered on the diffusion of categories against sexual and reproductive rights and against gender through the entire institutional apparatus of the Church.

Keywords:
Catholic Church; sexual and reproductive rights; bioethics; gender
