"Pope Francis' Stance on LGBT Inclusion Sparks Controversy within Catholic Church"

Pope Francis stated that the Catholic Church is open to everyone, including homosexuals, but within the framework of its rules. While the Church does not allow same-sex marriage or blessings for same-sex couples, Francis supports civil legislation that grants same-sex couples rights in areas such as pensions and health insurance. He emphasized the need for ministers to accompany all people, including those not conforming to the rules, with patience and love. Francis has been working towards making the Church more welcoming and less condemning, particularly towards the LGBT community, without changing teachings that encourage chastity for those with same-sex attraction.
