Pope Leo XIV showed he would continue Pope Francis’s policy of welcoming the LGBT community to the Catholic Church.

Leo met with the Rev. James Martin, a priest known for his LGBT advocacy, on Monday, according to the Associated Press. Martin is also known for his book Building a Bridge: How the Catholic Church and the LGBT Community Can Enter Into a Relationship of Respect, Compassion and Sensitivity. In it, Martin says Catholics foster a relationship with the LGBT community instead of identifying them as “the other” and welcome them to the Catholic community.
