Pope Leo XIV, a serious danger to Gays. Silly wishful thinking of Gay Catholics obscures the substantial danger we face.
His presentation in 2012 make it clear that then Robert Francis Prevost, now Pope Leo XIV is seriously considering and developing ideas how the extinction of Gay liberation can be accomplished.
Subscriptions are free.
Background information about Pope Francis and his supposed “progressive” view of Gays.
The churches now practice the New Homophobia. They avoid the angry denunciations of the past to luring Gays into their homophobic churches with sugary talk of love and such. Francis understood the New Homophobia, and sugar coated the Catholic belief that homosexuality was a sin.
This report also shows that there is an ongoing pratice of denial of the homophobia of individuals and the Catholic church by Gay Catholic groups and others.
In the videos of Pope Leo XIV you can see that Pope Francis’ statements about Gays were really about a new strategy to defeat Gay liberation.
Who is Pope Leo XIV?
He is from Chicago, Illinois, United States of America. His non-papal name is Robert Francis Prevost. Much commentary has been about him being the first American Pope, but also how most of his prior duties were in Latin America.
He was the General of the Order of Saint Augustine from 2001 to 2013, and Bishop of Chiclayo from 2015 to 2023. He was appointed prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops in 2023 by Pope Francis and who also made president of the Pontifical Commission for Latin America and made him a cardinal.

Pope Leo XIV seriously considering what needs to be done to crush Gay liberation.
The media has largely quoted from these 2012 videos. A Gay person needs to watch some of this to really understand how deadly serious this is. The first video is 2 minutes and 40 seconds.
Pope Leo XIV is discussing how to crush popular acceptance of Gays and by that means the Catholic Church can crush Gay liberation. You need to watch the introduction to this and some of the indicated sections. I will have extracts from the transcript for this video. The Extracts are after the video.
This article, Assoc. Press, May 9, 2025, “A 2012 video shows comments from new pope that disappoint LGBTQ activists.”
“Disappoint” is a huge understatement.

The title in the video is “The Counter-Culture of the New Evangelicalization.” The TV series Modern Family is specifically called out.
Transcript of the above. Boldface added.
Western mass media is extraordinarily effective in fostering within the general public enormous sympathy for beliefs and practices that are at odds with the gospel for example abortion homosexual lifestyle euthanasia.
Religion is at best tolerated by mass media as tame and quaint when it does not actively oppose positions on ethical issues that the media have embraced as their own.
However when religious voices are raised in opposition to these positions mass media can target religion labeling it as ideological and insensitive in regard to the so-called vital needs of people in the contemporary world the sympathy for anti-christian lifestyle choices that mass media fosters is so brilliantly and artfully ingrained in the viewing public that when people hear the christian message it often inevitably seems ideological and emotionally cruel by contrast to the ostensible humaneness of the anti-christian perspective.
[The video shows a short segment from the TV series, The New Normal, at 1:16.]
Catholic pastors who preach against the legalization of abortion or the redefinition of marriage are portrayed as being ideologically driven severe and uncaring not because of anything they say or do but because their audiences contrast their message with the sympathetic caring tones of media produced images of human beings who because they are caught in morally complex life situations opt for choices that are made to appear as healthful and good.
[The video shows an image of Christians campaigning for Proposition 8, a ban on same-sex marriage at 1:24. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_California_Proposition_8 ]
Note for example how alternative families comprised of same-sex partners and their adopted children are so benignly and sympathetically portrayed in television programs and cinema today. [He is referring to the TV series Modern Family.]
[This is a screen capture of the image when Prevost is saying the above at about 1:54.}
Resuming the transcript here.
if the new evangelization is going to counter these mass media produced distortions of religious and ethical reality successfully pastors preachers teachers and catechists are going to have to become far more informed about the context of evangelizing in a world dominated by mass media
End of transcription of the above video.
This second video is the conclusion, and is 2 minutes and 30 seconds long. He is talking about how the early Christians culturally took over the Roman Empire and Western Civilization. He is discussing this ancient history to show how to take over and dominate contemporary culture.
Again, Robert Prevost, is strategizing how to crush Gay liberaiton.
NBC News, May 12, 2025, “Pope Leo XIV affirms family is based on union between a man and a woman, unborn has inherent dignity.”
The comments were made by Pope Leo to the Vatican Displomatic Corp, that is the diplomates of other nations which have a representative at the Vatican, Friday, May 16, 2025. This is Pope Leo’s instruction to the nations of the world through these diplomats. In five days, Pope Leo is campaigning globally against Gay marriage.
It is the responsibility of government leaders to work to build harmonious and peaceful civil societies. This can be achieved above all by investing in the family, founded upon the stable union between a man and a woman, “a small but genuine society, and prior to all civil society.” [2] In addition, no one is exempted from striving to ensure respect for the dignity of every person, especially the most frail and vulnerable, from the unborn to the elderly, from the sick to the unemployed, citizens and immigrants alike.
Homophobes feel empowered by Pope Leo

Not very ambigous really. If you read it, and read the article in the link provided, you will see that Pope Leo XIV was providing a space for the African Catholic Bishops to be homophobic. It was again, where the supposed progressive views of Pope Franciso were geographically curtailed to were these “progressive” views would help market the Catholic church to the public.
Gay Catholic responses and other groups.
Lots of wishful thinking by Gay Catholics.
This article, Assoc. Press, May 9, 2025, “A 2012 video shows comments from new pope that disappoint LGBTQ activists.”
The remarks were “disappointing,” said Francis DeBernardo of New Ways Ministry, a U.S.-based group that advocates for greater inclusion of LGBTQ+ Catholics in the church.
“We pray that in the 13 years that have passed, 12 of which were under the papacy of Pope Francis, that his (Leo’s) heart and mind have developed more progressively on LGBTQ+ issues, and we will take a wait-and-see attitude to see if that has happened,” DeBernardo said in a statement.
GLAAD wrongly asserts that there was progress made by Pope Francis.
The U.S.-based LGBTQ advocacy group GLAAD called on the new pontiff to “build on the progress” made by his predecessor.
“The Roman Catholic Church stands on the threshold of a hopeful and inclusive new chapter. With Pope Leo XIV’s leadership, there is an extraordinary opportunity to inspire billions around the world and further embrace LGBTQ people with compassion, dignity, and love,” GLADD president and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis said in a statement.
James J. Martin, the founder of Outreach, an LGBTQ Catholic group, had this to say:
The Rev. James Martin, an American Jesuit who founded an LGBTQ+ outreach ministry, said such an invitation to inclusiveness and welcome was important and he considered the cardinals’ choice of Prevost “brilliant.”
“He is humble, reserved, straightforward, trustworthy. I think he brings a wealth of experience not only (from) his long time in Peru working with the poor, but also in the Vatican,” Martin said. “It’s rare to come in contact with someone who is actually humble and not pretending to be humble. And he’s the real deal. And that really cemented my respect for him. He always treated me with great respect, dignity, friendship. He’s a man of few words, and I’ll say that when he talked, people listened.”
Note that he calls Prevost, a person seriously considering how to terminate the Gay liberation movement “brilliant.”

Goofy Gay Catholics being Gay Goofs. Again, endless wishful thinking.
New Ways Ministry, May 8, 2025, “New Ways Ministry Welcomes Pope Leo XIV.”
https://www.newwaysministry.org/2025/05/08/new-ways-ministry-welcomes-pope-leo-xiv/
New Ways Ministry, May 10, 2025, “Will Pope Leo XIV Surprise Us as Pope Francis Did?”
New Ways Ministry in this article shows that they are still under the delusion that Pope Francis was a friend to Gays.
https://www.newwaysministry.org/2025/05/10/first-impressions-of-new-popes-francis-and-leo-xiv/
New Ways Ministry, May 19, 2025, “Pope Leo Wants Diversity in Unity. Peruvian LGBTQ+ Leaders Say He Has Good Experience.”
Lots of effusive praise from Peruvians, few hard details. The fact that Prevost wasn’t snarling and saying things that would give him and the Catholic church a bad image is assumed to be proof that he is supportive of Gays. Notice the Washington Blade is pushing this stuff.
Dignity Chicago, no date given, “Dignity/Chicago Joins in Welcoming Pope Leo XIV.”
They don’t comprehend the agenda of Pope Francis for what it was.
Pope Francis was the first Pope to grant an audience to a Dignity representative in its 55+ year history. We pray that the needs of those whom our church has historically marginalized, including LGBTQ+ people and their families, will continue to be heard and addressed by the Vatican and other church leaders. Dignity/Chicago and DignityUSA and its 30+ chapters across the United States continue to work towards achieving justice, equality, and full inclusion of LGBTQIA+ people in our church and society. We offer our experience to Pope Leo XIV as a resource towards furthering these achievements.
https://www.dignity-chicago.org/
DignityUSA, May 8, 2025, “DignityUSA Expresses Hope For LGBTQ+ Catholics After Pope Leo XIV Election.”
Basically, they are asserting that Pope Leo XIV didn’t really mean what he said, he was being forced to say it. They are just grasping for reasons not to recognize who Pope Leo is.
We pray that the needs of those whom our church has historically marginalized, including LGBTQ+ people and their families, will continue to be heard and addressed by the Vatican and other church leaders. We express concern with the former Cardinal’s statements—as reported in the New York Times—in a 2012 address to bishops, where he stated that Western news media and popular culture fostered “sympathy for beliefs and practices that are at odds with the gospel” including the “homosexual lifestyle” and “alternative families comprised of same-sex partners and their adopted children.” We note that this statement was made during the papacy of Benedict XVI, when doctrinal adherence appeared to be expected. In addition, the voices of LGBTQ people were rarely heard at that level of church leadership. We pray that Pope Leo XIV will demonstrate a willingness to listen and grow as he begins his new role as the leader of the global Church.
The Gay Catholic Agenda undermines the security of the Gay community.
The videos of 2012 clearly show a Catholic leader laying out the issues and obstacles to their homophobic agenda and the goal of crushing Gay liberations.
The Gay Catholics are busy obscuring this when the Gay community needs to know about this serious danger and consider counter measures.
Pope Leo, with his address to the diplomates at the Vatican, has already started his global campaign against Gay marriage.
As Leo’s agenda regarding Gays becomes know, it will be important for the Gay community to confront the Gay Catholics with the fact that their agenda is going nowhere and is an endangerment of the Gay community.
The modern Gay liberation movement started in 1969 and it is now May 25, 2025. The world is moving on this question and the Catholic church isn’t going anywhere on this issue, except to come up with ideas on how to make their homophobia more popular with the modern world.
The worst thing though is that the Gay Catholics are begging for their rights to be given to them, but the Gay community should be fighting for their rights and should be taking actions to neutralize the Catholic church as a menance.
Dual Identity Gays often prioritize their movement over the welfare of the Gay community.
It is mentioned in this post at The Gay Agenda.

Roman Catholicism is quite capable of changing— look at its teachings on the physical universe!
The question is whether it will admit the fact that, if it was teaching wrong about the solar system, it is likely teaching wrong about the rest of the stuff we can’t see.
