Homosexualidad, aborto y abusos: qué piensa el papa León XIV sobre los temas más controversiales de la Iglesia

Entre los principales interrogantes que rodean a la figura del nuevo papa León XIV, destacan las dudas sobre lo que piensa el pontífice respecto a ciertas temáticas controversiales para la Iglesia.
En rigor, el perfil de Robert Prevost combina el apego a los valores tradicionales de la institución religiosa con una apertura pastoral centrada en los sectores más vulnerables, aquellos que el papa Francisco consideraba prioritarios.

De este modo, las publicaciones del estadounidense de 69 años en la red social X (antes Twitter), anteriores a su elección, permiten trazar una línea clara sobre cómo piensa el nuevo pontífice en torno a debates candentes dentro y fuera del mundo católico.

Inclusión y comunidad LGBTQ
Si bien se lo considera cercano en muchos aspectos a la línea de Francisco, León XIV mantiene una posición más cautelosa frente a ciertos temas de inclusión.
Aunque su enfoque general es de diálogo y respeto, nunca mostró señales de avanzar hacia una mayor apertura respecto de la homosexualidad y el matrimonio igualitario. En este sentido, está cerca de ser un conservador clásico.
Aborto, eutanasia y pena de muerte
En cuanto a temas bioéticos, aunque el papa León XIV no suele hacer declaraciones directas, su historial de retuits sugiere un rechazo al aborto y a la eutanasia, en línea con la doctrina oficial de la Iglesia.
Sin embargo, no adopta un tono combativo, sino que parece apostar por una defensa de la vida desde una mirada pastoral.
En una de sus pocas apariciones televisivas antes del cónclave, también expresó su rechazo a la pena de muerte: “Estoy a favor de la vida en todo momento”, afirmó. Y agregó que “responder con venganza no está a la altura de la dignidad humana”. Las puertas cerradas del balcón central de la Basílica de San Pedro. (Foto: Reuters)
Abusos sexuales en la Iglesia
Otro de los temas urgentes que marcará su pontificado es la respuesta a los abusos sexuales en el seno de la Iglesia. Cuando aún era obispo de Chiclayo, en Perú, Prevost fue enfático al rechazar el encubrimiento: “Eso hace mucho daño, tenemos que ayudar a las personas que han sufrido por el mal actuar”, señaló en una entrevista.
También alentó a las víctimas a denunciar y exigió que la Iglesia actúe con firmeza. “Muchas veces se pide silencio y eso no se puede pedir”, sentenció.
Lejos de minimizar la gravedad de estos crímenes, León XIV reconoció la complejidad del problema y la necesidad de actuar con transparencia. “Queremos decirle a la gente que si sufrió por el mal actuar de un sacerdote, que venga y lo denuncie”, insistió.
Sin embargo, también recibió denuncias, como la de tres monjas que lo acusaron de encubrir abusos sexuales de sacerdotes a su cargo.
Justicia social y migrantes
Prevost también usó las redes sociales para amplificar mensajes de justicia social y defensa de los migrantes.
En febrero de este año, por ejemplo, criticó abiertamente la visión del vicepresidente estadounidense JD Vance, quien propuso priorizar el amor por la familia y los ciudadanos nacionales por sobre los inmigrantes.
León XIV, en cambio, compartió una columna que lo desmentía tajantemente, subrayando que la enseñanza de Jesús no distingue jerarquías en el amor al prójimo.
Esta postura no es aislada: también cuestionó los acuerdos entre Donald Trump y el presidente salvadoreño Nayib Bukele, que implicaban la deportación de migrantes a centros penitenciarios de alta peligrosidad.

El nuevo papa dejó en claro que la dignidad de los migrantes no puede ser negociada en función de intereses políticos.
Ya en 2018, como vicepresidente de la Conferencia Episcopal Peruana, Prevost había respaldado un pronunciamiento que denunciaba la separación de niños migrantes de sus padres en la frontera de Estados Unidos, apelando a “una mirada evangélica que ve en el rostro del desamparado la imagen misma de Cristo”.
Ambiente, racismo y violencia armada
Además de estos posicionamientos, el nuevo pontífice manifestó su preocupación por el cambio climático, el racismo y la violencia armada.
Desde hace tiempo, el sucesor de Francisco decidió promover una Iglesia más comprometida con el cuidado del planeta, instando a los fieles a adoptar un estilo de vida más sustentable y a defender activamente la “casa común” frente a la crisis ecológica.
Por otro lado, tras el asesinato de George Floyd —un ciudadano afroamericano que murió asfixiado en 2020 bajo la rodilla de un policía en Estados Unidos— el nuevo papa expresó su dolor y se sumó al reclamo por justicia racial.

También condenó la proliferación de armas en EE.UU., al advertir sobre sus consecuencias en la seguridad pública y en la vida de las comunidades más vulnerables.
A la espera de sus primeros discursos formales como papa, los indicios disponibles muestran a León XIV como un líder que intentará tender puentes entre la tradición y la urgencia del presente.
Con una mirada más social que doctrinaria, parece dispuesto a escuchar antes que imponer. Pero también a actuar con decisión cuando los valores fundamentales estén en juego.

Trump orders Epstein files release, welcomes Mamdani, crown prince to White House in busy week

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
President Donald Trump kicked off the week meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and closed the week meeting with New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani.
He also signed legislation ordering the Justice Department to release files related to the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Here’s a look at what happened this week.
Epstein files
Trump announced Wednesday evening that he put his stamp of approval on a bill instructing the Justice Department to release files related to Epstein — after Congress passed the measure Tuesday.
TRUMP SAYS WHETHER HE WOULD SIGN EPSTEIN FILES BILL
«I HAVE JUST SIGNED THE BILL TO RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!» Trump wrote in a lengthy message on the Truth Social platform. «As everyone knows, I asked Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, to pass this Bill in the House and Senate, respectively. Because of this request, the votes were almost unanimous in favor of passage.
«At my direction, the Department of Justice has already turned over close to fifty thousand pages of documents to Congress. Do not forget — The Biden Administration did not turn over a SINGLE file or page related to Democrat Epstein, nor did they ever even speak about him.»
Trump’s ties to Epstein had faced increased attention after Trump’s Justice Department and FBI announced in July it would not unseal investigation materials related to Epstein, and that the agencies’ investigation into the case had closed.

TRUMP CALLS ON HOUSE REPUBLICANS TO VOTE TO RELEASE EPSTEIN FILES: ‘WE HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE’
However, Trump announced Nov. 16 that he backed releasing the documents, claiming that he had «nothing to hide.»
Ultimately, the House voted Tuesday to release the files by a 421–1 margin, following pressure for months from the measure’s ringleaders, Reps. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., and Ro Khanna, D-Calif., and other Democrats.
The Senate passed the measure by unanimous consent later Tuesday.

Mamdani meeting
Mamdani visited Trump at the White House Friday, and the two appeared chummy and ready to launch a fresh start in their relationship. The two said they discussed addressing affordability issues and improving conditions in New York.
Trump said the two had more in common than he anticipated, and that he would be «cheering» for Mamdani as he leads the city.
«I expect to be helping him, not hurting him — a big help,» Trump said.

Trump also brushed off Mamdani’s comment labeling him a despot in his victory speech following the Nov. 4 election, with the president claiming Friday he’s encountered worse and that he believes Mamdani will change his tune as the two work together.
«I’ve been called much worse than a ‘despot,’ so it’s not, it’s not that insulting,» Trump said. «I think he’ll change his mind after we get to working together.»
Saudi crown prince meeting
Trump also met with the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at the White House Tuesday, an occasion that included a red carpet rolled across the South Lawn, military honor guard, and an Air Force flyover to elevate the formal state-level welcome.
During bin Salman’s visit, the U.S. announced that it would sell F-35 jets to Saudi Arabia, and that it would now be a «major non-NATO ally» to facilitate military cooperation between the two countries.
«President Trump approved a major defense sale package, including future F-35 deliveries, which strengthens the U.S. defense industrial base and ensures Saudi Arabia continues to buy American,» the White House said in a statement.
Trump’s reception of bin Salman is a departure from the Biden administration, who said in 2019 during his presidential campaign that he would make Saudi Arabia «the pariah that they are» because of the death of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

U.S. intelligence agencies concluded in 2021 that bin Salman gave the green light on the operation that took Khashoggi’s life. Khashoggi, a Saudi dissident, was brutally murdered in Istanbul at the Saudi consulate in 2018.
But Trump defended bin Salman Tuesday, and accused a reporter who asked about U.S. intelligence reports linking the prince to Khashoggi’s death of embarrassing bin Salman.

«A lot of people didn’t like that gentleman that you’re talking about,» Trump said Tuesday. «Whether you like him or didn’t like him, things happen, but he knew nothing about it. And would you leave it at that? You don’t have to embarrass our guest by asking a question.»
Even so, bin Salman has dismissed the reports as false. When asked Tuesday about Khashoggi, bin Salman said it’s «painful» to hear of the death of anyone for «no real purpose,» and «we are doing our best that this doesn’t happen again.»

Israel eliminates Hezbollah’s top military commander Haytham Ali Tabatabai in targeted Beirut strike

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) killed Haytham Ali Tabatabai, Hezbollah’s chief of staff, in Beirut, calling him a «mass murderer» responsible for attacks on Israelis and Americans.
Netanyahu framed the strike as part of Israel’s ongoing effort to dismantle Hezbollah’s leadership and prevent the group from rebuilding its arsenal after recent operations. He warned that Israel would not tolerate future threats from Lebanon and urged its government to disarm Hezbollah.
«A few hours ago, the IDF eliminated Ali Tabatabai, the chief of staff of the Hezbollah terrorist organization,» Netanyahu said. «Tabatabai is a mass murderer. His hands are soaked in the blood of many Israelis and Americans, and it is not for nothing that the U.S. put a bounty of $5 million on his head.»
The prime minister said Tabatabai was a senior commander in the Radwan Force, which he said prepared to invade the Galilee and kill Israeli civilians.

Netanyahu said Tabatabai most recently led Hezbollah’s efforts to rearm after the group suffered major losses in the «Pager Operation,» including damage to missile stockpiles and the killing of Nasrallah.
«I thank the IDF and the security forces that carried out a professional, accurate and successful operation today,» Netanyahu said. «The policy I am leading is absolutely clear: Under my leadership, the State of Israel will not allow Hezbollah to rebuild its power and we will not allow it to pose a threat to the State of Israel again.

«I expect the government of Lebanon to fulfill its commitment to disarm Hezbollah,» he added. «Because only in this way can a better future be made possible for every citizen in Lebanon and only in this way can good and secure neighborly relations be established between Israel and Lebanon.»
Netanyahu also commended President Donald Trump for vowing to designate the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization, saying the group endangers stability throughout the Middle East and beyond.

Hezbollah confirmed Tabatabai’s death by posting a photo on its Telegram accounts, signaling the loss of one of its top commanders. A translation of the image’s caption reads, «Islamic Resistance in Lebanon – Hezbollah. The great jihadi leader Haitham Ali Tabatabai (Sayyed Abu Ali), 1968–2025.»
Earlier Sunday, the prime minister’s office said the IDF carried out the Beirut strike on the recommendation of the defense minister and the IDF chief of staff. Shortly after the operation, Defense Minister Israel Katz said Israel will continue to act decisively against threats from Lebanon.

«Anyone who raises a hand against Israel will have his hand cut off,» Katz said. «Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and I are determined to continue the policy of maximum enforcement in Lebanon and elsewhere. We will not allow a return to the reality before Oct. 7.»
