CROATIAN BISHOPS AND 'GENDER THEORY'

The piece below appears in The Tablet of April 21.

What does this mean? Seems absurd as it appears. Confusing too.

"Croatia's Catholic bishops' conference has urged their government to reject a Council of Europe convention combatting violence against women, claiming its 'ideological elements' reflect 'gender theory' and are incompatible with Christian teaching.

" 'To vote to ratify [the 2011 Convention on preventing and combatting violence against women and domestic violence] will open the door to something contrary to human createdness, the natural law and the fundamental values of Christian faith and culture,' the bishops said."

Interesting typo - a Christian fiath.

Haven't seen the basic document but on the face of it these guys seem off the wall.
