Pope Leo XIV’s first apostolic exhortation, signed today and due to be published on 9 October, will focus on the role of "the poor".
On Wednesday, SilereNonPossum.com reported that the late Pope Francis had started work on the text with the help of Archbishop Vincenzo Paglia. Monsignor Paglia has "incorporated large sections of one of his books".
Leo XIV has decided to go ahead with the publication. He asked the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and the Secretariat of State to revise the text.
Who is Archbishop Paglia?
Monsignor Paglia commissioned a controversial mural for his cathedral in Terni which includes homoerotic imagery and depicts him being embraced by a semi-nude figure.
Furthermore, he has made statements sympathetic to homosexuality. He has expressed openness to the legal recognition of homosex unions, describing such legislation as 'useful'.
As head of the Pontifical Academy for Life, he has appointed members who support immorality including contraception.
Using the 'singular case trick', Monsignor Paglia deemed contraception to be "legitimate".
