[Catholic Caucus] Pope Leo XIV meets with ‘married’ homosexuals at Vatican

The two homosexual men, one of whom is the founder an AI company, were granted an audience with Leo as part of a delegation of Los Angeles Archbishop José Gomez.

Pope Leo XIV recently met with two “married” homosexuals during a private audience.

“When Brian mentioned to the pope that we are married [sic], we both felt received with warmth and kindness,” wrote Alex Capecelatro, CEO of Josh.ai, on Facebook. He posted pictures of their audience with Leo, which they were granted as a delegation of Archbishop José Gomez of Los Angeles.

Capecelatro is “partner” to Brian D. Stevens, a philanthropist and member of the Knights of Malta despite his scandalous homosexual lifestyle. The two men are incapable of real marriage, as natural law and the perennial teaching of the Catholic Church affirm.

When Capecelatro and Stevens shared with the pope how much Father James Martin, SJ’s pro-LGBT activism “means to them,” Leo reportedly “nodded approvingly at the mention of that [so-called] ministry,” according to Letters from Leo, a website authored by a Democratic Party operative, Christopher Hale. 

Hale stressed that Leo did not clarify Church teaching during the audience but appeared to accept the two homosexuals as-is.

In this audience and in other ways, Leo has tread the path of Pope Francis regarding his approach to homosexuality. For example, Leo promoted a bishop who has supported LGBT-themed liturgies to a consulting position within the Commission for Religious Relations with the Jews, the Vatican announced on October 2.

The same month, Leo appointed the pro-LGBT Cardinal Blase Cupich to the Pontifical Commission for the Vatican City State. In 2015, during the Synod of the Family, Cupich proposed a pathway for both homosexual and divorced and “remarried” couples to receive the Eucharist in accordance with their “consciences.”

Leo has also met with Fr. Martin, famed for his LGBT activism. Martin later said the “message” he took from the meeting “was that Pope Leo will be continuing with the same openness that Francis showed to [so-called] LGBTQ Catholics.” 

LifeSiteNews Editor-in-Chief John-Henry Westen noted that Martin’s meeting with Leo 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.”

The Catholic Church teaches that homosexual activity is mortally sinful and the homosexual inclination is “objectively disordered.”

“Homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered” and “contrary to the natural law,” states the Catechism of the Catholic Church. “Under no circumstances can they be approved.” Since homosexual acts are mortal sins, anyone who commits these sins and does not repent through the Sacrament of Confession is in danger of hell.

Other than: “stop your sin. It’s an affront to God.”

What else can he say to them???

[mairdie]

The popes lost me after Pope Pius XII.

[MinorityRepublican]

So he had a meeting with them.

No announcement. Or anything like that.

The Pope should try to reach out to Vladimir Putin in an effort to end the war in Ukraine. It doesn't mean that he'll support what Putin is doing.

Some people, even though they climb and take on bigger roles, never really outgrow their small world, their local and provincial thinking.

You can take this Chicagoan out of Chicago, but you’ll never get Chicago out of that Chigaoan.

awful “optics” for the church, imho

[jacknhoo]

Another False Prophet. Benefit of the doubt has expired.

Pope Marx II speaks.

Another cool hip pope doing Satan’s work and destroying Christianity.

Islam claps.

[SeekAndFind]

I read the article. It did not tell us what Pope Leo said to them about their homosexual “marriage” ( note the quotes ).

[cgbg]

Fair enough.

Let the Pope invite Nick Fuentes to visit—and watch what happens next.

Did you read this article:

When Pope Leo learned “we are married,” Alex later said on social media, he received them with unmistakable warmth and kindness, not a hint of hesitation.

For Capecelatro, who wasn’t raised Catholic, the moment was especially heartwarming alongside Brian, a devout Catholic.

Speaking with an English-speaking pope whose message is unity and peace, they felt fully welcome in the Church’s embrace.

What happened next showed Pope Leo’s down-to-earth touch. Capecelatro paused their chat with a playful grin:

“I have one very important question,” he announced, momentarily making Leo look curious. Then came the punchline: “How did you do at Wordle today?”

The 70-year-old pontiff burst into laughter.

So let's talk about Wordle instead of sins that cry out to Heaven for vengance.

Perhaps if Pope Leo shifted his focus to emphasizing Church teaching regarding marriage and sex outside marriage, he would find wider approval?

It would also help if he were to defrock clergy who practice and promote this same sex nonsense.

“Pope Leo XIV recently met with two “married” homosexuals during a private audience.” Maybe he was just trying to figure them out, since that is not natural. I don’t know.

[ebb tide]

What’s to figure out?

The sin of sodomy has been condemned since Genesis.

Let the Pope invite Nick Fuentes to visit—and watch what happens next.

He should. (But it won't happen).

[KierkegaardMAN]

He’s not the pope. Heresy, ipso facto, makes him a non-Catholic.

[iamgalt]

His role is to finish the destruction of the church that frankee the fraud started. He is well on his way.
