That the Istanbul Convention is a kind of ideological colonization of the people and states that have ratified the convention in their parliaments can be seen from several points of view. The protagonists of the alleged new anthropological revolution find their foothold in gender ideology. On the one hand, this ideology proclaims how man can choose and change his gender, therefore, complete freedom of choice, since masculinity and femininity will be abolished by gender ideology. On the other hand, gender ideology seeks to deprive man of support as a creature, and that support is the only one – God, the Creator.
God has called every man to live and has given him all that is best for him, as a creature. Why? Only so that in the gifted life, through the biological parents, the image of the Creator would be reflected in that creature. And one more thing, most importantly, man is a being who transcends his reality, because it is about the other, eternal life that Jesus Christ of Nazareth brought to every human being, through his suffering, death and resurrection. Were it not for this (as a historical event), that life would have no meaning.
The ideology contained in the Istanbul Convention simply denies all that has been written above, and does not give any views on the contrary, to see how they can organize life on Earth without God? All they could organize would be only against man, marriage (communities of only men and women), and family.
The image that could bring us closer to the importance of man’s true freedom, without any ideologies, especially without a gender ideology that is imposed on people rudely and ruthlessly, is this:
We are all: meaning humanity, civilization, during our age, a certain number of years, like in some form of prison. On this unique Earth, because of hard climate change, pollution of watercourses, sea, soil depletion, we consume products treated with pesticides, foods based on fertilizers, endangering the lives of all sorts of inventions of some gurus who are also ordinary mortals. Then there are diseases, epidemics, ageing, lack of sight and hearing, injustices, wars, murders, and feelings of rejection and uselessness, most often from those closest to you.
So, we spend (and count down) our days in that „prison“, gathered somewhere in the corner and scared. Then the prison guard comes, opens the door of our cells and says, „You can go out, you are free!“ But we still squat in disbelief in the corner and ask, „How come?“ The guard answers, „Someone came and paid bail for all of you, he has redeemed you, you are no longer obliged to be here!“ Isn’t this the picture of reality (and the future), and all the ideologies are the picture of ordinary man’s arrogance?!!
Let us return once again to this fallacy of the Istanbul Convention. According to that convention, its governing body is above the Parliament of each signatory state, and it is something we do not talk about. In the ecstasy of the 1990s, when the first Croatian Parliament in a free state was constituted, many said, „Only God is above the Parliament! ” And now the Istanbul Convention is above the Parliament. Croatia must allocate HRK 80 million from its budget each year to implement the convention. Who fills the budget of this state of ours, and what could be done with that amount of money being thrown away? Not all and far more successful EU countries have accepted and ratified the Istanbul Convention, nor do they want to.
How can we resist this ideology?
From the beginning of the world, people can do nothing against the truth. When the truth bothers them and does not suit them, they throw it out of the door, and it enters through the window again. And at the trial of Jesus, Pilate asked, „And what is the truth?“
THE TRUTH stood before him, and he did not recognize it, nor did he have the courage to side with the TRUTH. He did not want the Jews and the crowd shouting to crucify the Nazarene to resent him, and he had a clear idea that the man was not guilty at all and that they had no clear accusation against him. Historians have recorded that Pilate later committed suicide.
We must not only speak the truth but enter the TRUTH (and „the TRUTH will set you free“) and then we will be able to expose all kinds of ideologies through speech and action.
