So, I don't expect any leniency toward the LGBT community. I hope the pope remains silent on LGBT issues rather than make any pronouncements that marginalize or otherwise limit LGBT participation in society.

But as far as the Augustinians' emphasis on "community, humility, and service", as they say, and Leo XIV's positions on the poor from before he was pope, I'm for it and I hope he hammers the rich elites of the world weekly. I want to like this guy.
