The Vatican is sending new signals about how it intends to minister to LGBTQ+ Catholics in the Pope Leo XIV era. There are signs of openness and limitations. LGBTQ+ Catholic advocates cheered this week when a Vatican working group released a report featuring the testimony of two gay, married Catholics who spoke of their sexuality and faith. Additionally, Leo made clear during a recent airborne news conference that he believed the church’s teachings on social justice, equality and freedom were far more important than its teaching on sexual morality. At that same news conference, though, Leo also made clear he will go no further than Francis on the contentious matter of same-sex blessings.
