Pope Leo XIV has stated that the Catholic Church has "no intention" of changing its doctrine on same-sex marriage or women deacons. In his first interview since being elected, the 70-year-old told journalist Elise Ann Allen that while many hoped for a change, "attitudes must change before doctrine can even be considered." Further speaking on LGBTQ inclusion, Pope Leo said it is “highly unlikely, certainly in the near future,” that the Catholic’s teaching on sexuality or marriage would change. He reiterated his ideals of “the traditional family, which is father, mother, and children.” #SameSexMarriage #LGBTQNews #PopeLeo #Pope
