(LifeSiteNews) — I had a recent conversation with Pope Leo XIV’s former seminary classmate Prof. William Thomas, who startled me with his brutal and very frank observations of the Pope and his closest collaborators in his synodal project. Prof. Thomas identified them by name and described them as “all pro-gay, pro-LGBT.” A brief look at some of the more outstanding LGBT controversies of Leo’s first year follows:
