Paglia also said this work later flowed into broader theological projects connected to moral theology and family ethics. After the publication of Amoris Laetitia in 2018, Pope Francis summoned Paglia and told him: “I would like to entrust you with the reorganization of the John Paul II Institute and the Pontifical Academy for Life.”
...
Regarding the reform of the John Paul II Institute, Paglia described it as so extensive that Francis decided not merely to modify the existing structure but to establish an entirely new institution. “We needed to recreate it.” The original institute, founded under Pope John Paul II, had focused heavily on conjugal morality and sexual ethics, according to Paglia, while paying insufficient attention to wider “social dimensions” of family life.
"We needed to recreate it.”
Which is exactly what Francis tried to do his "Sin-Nodal" Church.

Yes hipster modern people invented homosexuality.
Being gay is something created by modern man.
Not the people in the Old Testament such as those in Sodom.

‘adapt doctrine to the new times’
If I had to define the heresy of "modernism" in six words, I could not do any better.

[Catholic Caucus] Abp. Paglia: Francis wanted to ‘adapt doctrine to the new times’ on homosexuality, moral theology I think what happened to Sodom and Gomorrah pretty much adapted the doctrine to the presiding times.

Frances is a Muslim sympathizer, and a Communist. Last of all, he thought he was a Catholic. I disagree with him on that point.
He was a political operative for the Marxists.

just like the evil men Paul r
wrote about in Romans, where he condemned not just the wicked perverts, but especially those who approved and advocated for their “modern” perversions.
