Pope Leo XIV has commenced his papacy by reiterating the traditional definition of family as the stable union between a man and a woman. This remark was made during a meeting with the Vatican diplomatic corps and released in a transcript to the media. His predecessor, Pope Francis, had a more inclusive approach towards the LGBTQ+ community but maintained existing doctrine and did not officially change church teachings on marriage. Notably, Francis allowed blessings for same-sex couples while emphasizing they should not resemble weddings. Pope Leo's stance may continue this conservative trajectory.
Pope Leo XIV affirmed that the family is founded upon the stable union between a man and a woman, maintaining traditional Catholic doctrine.
While Pope Francis was friendlier to the LGBTQ+ community, he did not alter the Catholic stance on marriage, supporting traditional definitions.
