May 8

It says Pope Leo(as he wishes to be called) is considered a centrist. He is said to be planning to continue reaching out to help marginalized groups such as immigrants and the LGBTQ community similar to Pope Francis. Although it was reported he did once make a homophobic slur in the past. He also believes in climate change and is more lenient on issues such as divorce.

One of the polices that represents his conservative side is that he opposes women being ordained as priests which is disheartening but expected. They've always tended to be sexist.
