“…This strategy connects to crucial debates in contemporary Catholicism (Bracke & Paternotte, 2016b;Case, 2016). It builds upon John Paul II's theology of the body (Carnac, 2013a(Carnac, , 2013bCase, 2011Case, , 2016Favier, 2014;Garbagnoli, 2014Garbagnoli, , 2016Garbagnoli & Prearo, 2017) and New Feminism (Couture, 2012) while echoing his discourse on the "culture of death". It also mirrors Cardinal Ratzinger's anxieties about the propagation of hedonism, laicism, relativism and individualism in Western societies (Ratzinger & Messori, 1985).…”

This article examines the development of campaigns against “gender ideology” in Europe, leading to the emergence of a specific family of mobilizations that we call anti-gender campaigns. These campaigns, started in the mid-1990s as a Catholic project in reaction to the results of the UN conferences of Cairo and Bejing, but developed significantly in several European countries after crucial encounters with right-wing populism. While recognizing the importance of these crossovers, we contend the interpretation that mobilizations against “gender ideology” and right-wing populism are the two faces of the same coin, and we plead for a more complex understanding of the ways in which distinct—and sometimes competing—projects can converge in specific settings. We argue that research on the “Global Right Wing” should therefore disentangle the various components of this phenomenon, and locate them in concrete settings. We show that this research strategy allows us to better grasp the specificities of each project and the ways in which they interact. Opening our eyes on crucial developments in contemporary Europe, this strategy also prevents researchers from falling into the trap of a global and unqualified backlash against everything achieved in terms of gender and sexuality in the last decades.

“…The former celebrates the ontological difference between the sexes and their harmonious complementarity; the latter analyses sex relationships in antagonistic terms. As Denise Couture argues, the 'differentialist symmetrization' of the sexes operated by the Vatican when adopting the 'equality in dignity' argument has to be understood as a deep reformulation of its previous discourse on the asymmetry between the sexes (Couture 2012). It points to a rhetorical shift John Paul II achieved with his 'theology of the woman' which, inspired by Edith Stein's thought, understands human nature as intrinsically binary and the social order as based on this ontological dichotomy (Snyder 1999).…”

Since the mid-1990s, the Vatican contests the concept of gender as forged by feminists to study social arrangements through which the sexual order is naturalised. This contestation came with the distortion of the analyses and claims formulated by feminists and LGBTQ scholars and social movements. This article understands the Vatican's invention of 'gender ideology' as a new rhetorical device produced both to delegitimise feminist and LGBTQ studies and struggles and to reaffirm that sexual norms transcend historical and political arrangements. It also investigates how the transnationality of this discursive construct relates to the specific features it has taken in two different national contextsFrance and Italy. The article is structured as follows: it first highlights the logic and structure of the anti-gender discourse. Then, it analyses how the same argumentative device is performed in anti-gender demonstrations. Finally, it scrutinises the rhetorical and performative strategies through which anti-gender actors have formulated their views and argues that 'gender ideology' can be understood as a political reaction against the entry of minorities into the fields of politics and theory.
