Possible Successor to Pope Francis and LGBTQ Rights in the Catholic Church
The possible successor to Pope Francis, Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, could bring a more LGBTQ-friendly approach to the Catholic Church based on his past actions and statements. However, Tagle has been criticized for his inaction on sexual abuse by priests and for being silent on human rights abuses in the Philippines. He lacks a forceful voice on worldly issues and has faced challenges in his administrative roles in the Vatican.
