In a new Italian book of interviews with Vaticanist Elise Ann Allen, the Pontiff says he will welcome individuals but does not expect a near term change to Church teachings on sexuality and marriage and calls for attitude change before doctrinal shifts.

Pope Leo XIV says it is very unlikely that Church teaching on sexuality and marriage will change in the near future.
He says LGBT+ topics are highly polarising in the Church and that altering attitudes should come before any consideration of doctrinal change.
The Pope states individuals will be welcomed and priests will hear confessions from people of all backgrounds while doctrine remains unchanged for now.
On the US presidency of Donald Trump he says the Pope should not intervene in national affairs and that local Church leaders should engage with their governments.
He praises Pope Francis's letter on migrants and warns that automation and artificial intelligence risk creating large scale inequality and job loss.

Pope Leo XIV says Church doctrine on LGBT+ unlikely to change soon
