If the report from "Fr." J. Martin (a known heretic!) is true, then this action will speak volumes about Leo...
From lifesitenews.com and written by David McLoone Mon Sep 1, 2025 - 11:28 am EDT: Fr. James Martin: Pope Leo will show ‘same openness’ as Pope Francis to ‘LGBTQ Catholics’ - LifeSite
"VATICAN CITY (LifeSiteNews) — ["Father"] James Martin, S.J., has said that Pope Leo XIV will take a similar approach to “LGBTQ Catholics” as his predecessor, Pope Francis, following an audience this morning.
The Pope met with Jesuit priest Martin, known for his fervent pro-LGBT promotion within the Catholic Church, in audience at the Apostolic Palace on Monday morning, according to the Holy See Press Office. Following the meeting, Martin shared on social media platform X that he is “profoundly grateful” for the audience with the Pontiff, adding that the “message” he took from the meeting “was that Pope Leo will be continuing with the same openness that Francis showed to LGBTQ Catholics.”
Martin, famed for his LGBT activism and incorporation of homosexual lifestyles within the Church, praised Pope Francis after his death as an “imperfect” “champion” for gender-confused and homosexual people, writing in the New York Times:
Francis’ pastoral outreach helped L.G.B.T.Q. Catholics feel more at home in their church. But it also meant that a far larger group – their families and friends – also felt more at home. It potentially forced Catholics around the world, even in cultures where homophobia is more entrenched, to ask themselves: If Pope Francis is so welcoming, why not me?
Martin has also commended Pope Francis on his 2023 declaration Fiducia Supplicans, which endorsed “blessings” for homosexual “couples” under certain circumstances and carried out one such “blessing” just a day after the document was officially published.
In the hours after Pope Leo was elected, Martin took to X to congratulate the former Cardinal Robert Prevost on his succession and to comment that the new Pope is “committed to continuing this process (of Synodality) of Pope Francis to make the Church more listening, more welcoming, and more inclusive.”
LifeSiteNews Editor-in-Chief John-Henry Westen noted that Martin’s Monday morning meeting with Leo XIV represents “the nightmare scenario” he warned of at the commencement of the new papacy. “As I told Glenn Beck,” Westen stated, “a less bombastic pope could quietly cement a false new direction. The James Martin approach defies Christ, His Church, Scripture, and 2,000 years of tradition.”
