The Vatican conclave is underway, with the potential election of Cardinal Robert Sarah raising concerns among the LGBTQ+ community due to his extreme anti-LGBTQ+ views. Moderate figures like Cardinal Pietro Parolin and Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle are seen as leading candidates. While Pope Francis has had more progressive stances, including acknowledging same-sex unions, his later statements have created some confusion. The election outcome could profoundly impact the Church's direction regarding LGBTQ+ issues.
"The Vatican conclave of cardinals is currently in full swing, and the world is waiting to find out who will be the next pope."
"Both Parolin and Tagle are relatively moderate and progressive figures, with Tagle arguably the more progressive of the two."
"Cardinal Robert Sarah has been thunderously vocal about the queer community, holding extremely anti-LGBTQ+ views that have caused concern among LGBTQ+ circles."
"Pope Francis has more modern views on same-sex unions, having stated that same-sex couples should be allowed to have their unions blessed."
