“Who should I judge?”
Four months after Francis Pope was in the 21st, he created controversy when he answered a journalist’s question about members of gay priests at the July Inflight press conference. He said: “If someone is gay and he looks for the Lord and has a good will, who should I judge?” Francis’ north went against the Catholic Nazir for several years.
These words, which rewrite globally, Set very different tunes The Church was with gay clergy and members from the previous relationship. His predecessor John Paul II and Benedict XVI took very little to LGBBTu’s people. Benedict made the first modern formal statement condemning homosexuality in 1986.
This book was written by Benedict when he was still a cardinal under Pope John Paul. John Paul supported Benedict’s message and he clearly condemned legal recognition for gay marriage. These feelings were prevalent when the Vatican officially opposed the homosexual unions in 2003.
In response to the strict position of the Vatican, John Paul protested by LGBBTu’s people during the 1987 US visit. He stopped in multiple cities during his trip, but the resistance was the most significant during his time in San Francisco. San Francisco was withdrawing from the AIDS epidemic and during this visit, the staff who had protests with the Pope met, and the candle temptation and prayer were participated in the hope of changing.
In the Catholic Church Catechism, which is an official document that outline of Catholic beliefs, the Church still shows homosexual acts as “internally immoral and contrary to natural law.” The text states that homosexuals are “intentionally chaotic”.
Christina Transa, a professor at the Department of Theology at the University of Fordham, says that the language used in catches to describe homosexuality is not easily translated into daily life.
“You can read [“objectively disordered”] Just as a technical word, but people read it fundamentally as evil and broken, “called the tranket.” It is a technical word, but it certainly does not work priesthood. “
In his public comments, Pope Francis began to change the narrative. Francis has called homosexuality “a human truth” May 2024 interview ‘Norah O’Donel with CBS News. He personally met with the LGBBTU Catholic groups with the new way of Debardo and he made it clear that Hijra people could take baptism and act as a godpartant.

Progress
After the death of the Train Pope Francis, he sees the possibility of continuing progress in the Church, because the attitude among the Catholics of the daily has changed.
“These things are changed to the ground and in practice and then they change in the Vaticic and this is the last thing that changes,” said the trana.
According to a 2021 study by the UCLA’s Williams Institute, there were about 1.5 million LGBTuu adults in the United States, and about 1.5 million religious, about 1.5 million, who are Roman Catholic.
Although the% of Americans support the same sex marriage, political figures like a Catholic conversion vice president JD Vans support the law of pressing the traditional family values and allowing religious concessions in LGBBTU protection. While campaigning for his US Senate seat in 2022, he would vote for ‘no’ in the law he said. RespectWhich provides federal protection for gay and inter -tribe marriage.

Thompson said, “I think that there is a feeling of nervous, what will happen is not sure,” Thompson said. “If we look at the structure of the college of cardinal, Francis appointed so many cardinal that we think we are likely to … but who will say, but who will say?”
New Way Ministry co-founder sister Jannin Gramick believes that the next pope mirror Pope Francis Rather, undo his inheritance.
“My idea is to choose someone like the cardinal selectors [will follow] Pope Francis’ move, “Gramic said.” So if this is proved correct then the changes that Pope Francis brought in will not undone. “
In his conversation with LGBTUTU Catholics, Gramick says he has felt a lot of hope for the future and there is hope for a pope who will go ahead with Francis.
“[LGBTQ] People, they are looking for further changes, and I think that the initial change they are looking for is to change the teaching of the church’s sexual morality, “Gramic said.” Catechism has not yet been changed. ”
Watching Conclave for Clues
As soon as Conclave begins, Some cardinal Who can be a contestant seems ready to continue Francis’ legacy. CBS News has reported such as, they include:
- Cardinal Peter Ardo, Budapest’s Archbishop, Hungary
- Cardinal Friedoline Ambango, Kinshasar Archbishop, Democratic Republic of Congo
- Cardinal Mario Gretch, Secretary General of the Bishops Synde
- Cardinal Pietro Paroline, Vatican’s Secretary of Secretary
- Cardinal Pierbatta Pizzaballa, Latin Patinus of Jerusalem
- Cardinal Lewis Tagle in the Philippines
- Cardinal Matteo Jupi, Bologner Archbishop, Italy
- Cardinal Anders Archbishop, Stockholm’s Archbishop
- Cardinal Gerald Cyprin Lacricks of Quebec
According to the new way, Cardinal Gretch has advised more sympathetic language while talking about LGBticu’s people and talked about the importance of the inclusion of all members of LGBTIC.
The Cardinal Tagle also spoke with LGBTU Catholics with sympathy and was a friend of Francis. According to the New Way Ministry, the Cardinal Juppie Francis is another competitor to embrace the LGBTU Catholics in Francis.
“I am voting for the first Philipino pope to be the Cardinal Tagle,” Thompson said. “I think in character and ideas, he is very similar to Francis, and I lived in the Philippines, so I have a special place in my heart for the idea of the Philipino Pope.”
The trana says he is optimistic for someone like taggle, but noted that it is almost impossible to predict who will be the new pope.
“It is often hard to say (cardinal) what they will do when they enter the papes, because Francis was surprised,” said Trea. “Since we have the Global College of Cardinals, the list of possibilities is much longer” now ”
Although Thompson is throwing his personal support behind the Cardinal Tagle, he urged voters to separate their political inspirations while voting.
Thompson said, “I really hope it will be a moment where the leaders can practice what they preach.” “In the Igatian spirituality, the practice of making decisions through prudence, [where you] Your previous ideas … let go [and] Allow the Holy Spirit to guide you. … I would say please try to give up politics and try to listen to how the church wants to move forward. “
