Gay blessings: what did Leo XIV say?

What did Pope Leo XIV say about the blessing of same-sex couples?


On the return flight from Malabo, Leo XIV answered a question about Fiducia supplicans, blessings and same-sex couples. Yet before even addressing the substance of the issue, the Pope said something many chose to ignore.

Why does every discussion about the Church always end up there? Why do some Vatican correspondents seem unable to interpret an apostolic journey without forcing it back into a political, ideological and sexual framework?

In this video, we analyse Leo XIV’s words, the way they were received, and what they reveal about a particular ecclesial narrative. Watch until the end: the point is not only what the Pope said, but why someone has an interest in letting you hear only one part of his answer.
