In his first official interview, Pope Leo XIV reaffirms his commitment to the traditional doctrine of the Catholic Church regarding the place of women and people of the LGBTQ+ federation. It excludes any doctrinal change in the short term, including the ordination of deacons or recognition of homosexual marriage.
However, in a desire for continuity with Pope Francis, Leo XIV wishes to expand the position of women in the Church by appointing them to leadership positions. He also advocates an unconditional welcome for LGBTQ+ people, while specifying that an individual's particular identity should not condition his invitation to participate in ecclesial life.
Dans le livre « Léon XIV, citoyen du monde, missionnaire du XXIe siècle « , il affirme que l’enseignement de l’Église « restera tel quel » et appelle à éviter toute polarisation. Il insiste par ailleurs sur l’importance de la famille traditionnelle, qu’il considère comme un pilier à protéger et à valoriser.
This positioning, between pastoral openness and doctrinal fidelity, seeks to reassure Catholics attached to conservative values, while maintaining a discourse of inclusion.
