Pope Leo XIV received James Martin, S.J., the founder of Outreach, in private audience in the papal library of the Vatican’s Apostolic Palace this morning, Sept. 1, in what is seen in Rome as a public reaffirmation of support for the American Jesuit and his pastoral ministry to LGBTQ Catholics. “I am extremely grateful and deeply consoled by my meeting with the Holy Father. He encouraged me to continue my ministry,” Father Martin said.
“Pope Leo has the same openness to LGBTQ issues as Pope Francis had.
He made clear that he wants everyone to feel welcome,”
