LGBTQ NATION: LGBTQ+ Catholic groups welcomed the Pope’s comments as an overdue clarification of the Church’s priorities.
Pope Leo XIV has suggested that the Catholic Church should focus more on matters of justice and equality than on sexual morality. He made his comments while responding to a question about blessing same-sex couples.
Speaking with reporters aboard a flight back to Rome last Thursday, following an 11-day tour of Africa, the first American pope was asked about German Cardinal Reinhard Marx’s recent guidance on formalizing blessings for same-sex couples and couples that include people who have been divorced, Reuters reported. » | John Russell | Monday, April 27, 2026
