POpe Benedict 16 Senodes held in 2012 to discuss preaching in an increasingly secular world. One of the most dynamic speakers was an American priest named Robert Brevost. The leader at the time, Augustine, made a brief but very opposition speech, as he criticized the “Western media” to enhance sympathy for anti -Christian practices such as “abortion, gay lifestyle, and compassionate killing.” Over time, the future Pope developed. “The doctrine has not changed,” he said to the Catholic news service after Pope Francis Cardinal made him in 2023. “But we look forward to being more welcoming and more open.”
