With the passing of Pope Francis, the Vatican is preparing to elect a new pope — but where do the leading contenders stand on LGBTQ+ rights?
In this video, we break down the top candidates for the papacy, including Cardinal Fridolin Ambongo Besungu, Cardinal Péter Erdő, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, Cardinal Christoph Schönborn, Cardinal Joseph Tobin, and Cardinal Matteo Zuppi.
Some candidates could continue Francis’ legacy of compassion and inclusivity toward LGBTQ+ Catholics, while others could move the Church in a more conservative direction.
From the potential for the first African or Asian pope to concerns about LGBTQ+ rights under a new leader, we explore what the future might hold for the Catholic Church.
