Last year during an in-flight interview, Pope Leo XIV addressed a question about homosexuality:
“We tend to think that when the Church is talking about morality, that the only issue of morality is sexual. And in reality, I believe there are much greater, more important issues, such as justice, equality, freedom of men and women, freedom of religion, that would all take priority before that particular issue.”
Echoing his predecessor, Leo reminded Christians that the Church’s moral vision ought to be capacious and not limit itself to one or two dramatic political issues. His first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, reminds us of the staggering breadth of the Christian imagination.
