Bishops in Colombia have welcomed their Government's decision not to promote or implement gender ideology in schools, following mass protests last week.
According to a report by Catholic News Agency, a meeting with the country's president President Juan Manuel Santos and three bishops took place on August 11.
Following the meeting the president made a public statement on the issue.
The bishops thanked the president for agreeing to talk with them and said that they “received with satisfaction the announcement of the National Government and the Department of Education that they will not promote or implement gender ideology in the country.”
