Benedict backed me up on rights for LGBT couples, Pope Francis says
VATICAN CITY – Pope Francis found an ally in his predecessor Benedict XVI when he spoke in favour of civil partnerships for same-sex couples, the pontiff said in a new book due out in Spain.
A greater openness towards the LGBT community has been one of the hallmarks of his 11-year papacy, but the more conservative Benedict was not known as sympathetic to the cause. Benedict XVI listened, "helped them distinguish things" and told them that what Francis had said was "no heresy", the pope said.
There is no suggestion that Francis discussed that move with Benedict, who continued living in the Vatican after his shock decision to retire in 2013, until his death in late 2022.
