The cardinal indicated to the EFE news agency that the new document “does not only include social issues, but also a strong criticism of moral issues such as sex change, surrogacy, gender ideologies, etc.”
Furthermore, he noted that he does not foresee any more controversial documents: “I don’t think they will be news in the future because we do not have any issues planned in the dicastery that could be very controversial, like the last ones.”
The statements of the considered “Ghost writer” of Pope Francis refer, among others, to Begging for Confidencethe document published on December 18, 2023 that allows Catholic priests to bless couples in an irregular situation and same-sex couples in a “pastoral” and non-ritualized way.
