CWN Editor's Note: Father James Martin, SJ, the prominent advocate for homosexual Catholics, met with Pope Leo XIV on September 1 in a private audience.
After the meeting, Father Martin told reporters that “I heard the same message from Pope Leo that I heard from Pope Francis, which is the desire to welcome all people, including LGBTQ people.” The Vatican did not offer any public comment on the meeting.
