Pope Francis has recently spoken out against laws that criminalize homosexuality, calling them “unjust” and emphasizing the importance of recognizing the dignity of all people, regardless of their sexual orientation. He has called on Catholic bishops who support such laws to welcome LGBTQ people into the church and undergo a process of conversion to recognize their dignity. His statement is a sign of progress for the LGBTQ community, as it shows that the Catholic Church is beginning to recognize the importance of acceptance and inclusion.
