"should not be denied the opportunity to be loved and to love, even on an intimate, sexual level, because denying them this, denying them their right, I repeat, is simply wrong"
"restore dignity to everyone, especially to those who have been denied it"
"We are all a pilgrim people of hope and we want to leave this celebration more joyful and hopeful than ever. We have to go forward, convinced that God loves us with a unique and unrepeatable love - unconditional love."
"'intrinsically disordered' and 'under no circumstances can they be approved'"
Bishop Francesco Savino affirmed that people in same-sex relationships should not be denied the opportunity to love and be loved, including on an intimate, sexual level, and called such denial simply wrong. He urged the restoration of dignity to everyone, especially those who have been denied it. Savino, bishop of Cassano all'Jonio since 2015 and appointed by Pope Francis, celebrated Mass for LGBTQ+ Catholic pilgrims during the 2025 Jubilee of Hope and emphasized unconditional divine love. His comments contrast with official Catholic teaching that labels homosexual acts as 'intrinsically disordered' and with Pope Leo XIV's previously expressed anti-LGBTQ+ views.
