In a recent interview, Pope Francis acknowledged that Africans hold a distinct perspective on homosexuality, considering it culturally undesirable.
Despite facing criticism, he expressed confidence that critics, excluding Africans, would eventually understand his decision to permit blessings for same-sex couples.
The Pope emphasized the inclusive intent of the Fiducia Supplicans declaration, aiming to unite rather than divide within the Catholic Church.
Addressing concerns of potential schism, he dismissed the idea as driven by small groups.
Additionally, Pope Francis touched on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, advocating for a two-state solution, and shared his upcoming agenda, including possible visits to Argentina, Belgium, East Timor, Papua New Guinea, and Indonesia.
On his health, he mentioned experiencing some aches but affirmed overall well-being.
