Upon being elected pope in 2013, Jorge Mario Bergoglio chose the name Francis, signaling solidarity with the poor and marginalized. Notably, he has redefined the church's engagement with L.G.B.T.Q. individuals, achieving more inclusion than previous popes. His compassionate stance is highlighted by his meetings with Sister Jeannine Gramick, previously barred from ministering due to her advocacy for L.G.B.T.Q. rights. By emphasizing personal conscience over condemnation, Francis increasingly addresses the concerns of Catholic families with L.G.B.T.Q. members, promoting a more inclusive church environment despite not officially altering Catholic doctrine regarding homosexuality.
Pope Francis's approach towards L.G.B.T.Q. individuals reflects a significant shift, emphasizing compassion over condemnation, notably through meetings with figures like Sister Jeannine Gramick.
Catalyzing change within the Catholic Church, Pope Francis’s attitude signaled an inclusivity that resonates with the growing acceptance of L.G.B.T.Q. members within congregations.
