As bishop of Chiclayo, Prevost opposed the inclusion of curriculum regarding “teachings on gender in schools” in Peru, stating that the “promotion of gender ideology is confusing, because it seeks to create genders that don’t exist”.
An acquaintance of Pope Leo XIV in Chiclayo, Jesús León Ángeles, noted that he cared for Venezuelan refugees in Peru.
Earlier, in 2012, Prevost made comments opposing homosexuality, saying that popular culture fostered “sympathy for beliefs and practices that are at odds with the Gospel”, citing the “homosexual lifestyle” and “alternative families comprised of same-sex partners and their adopted children”.
On Twitter, Prevost has criticized abortion, contraceptives, and the death penalty, alongside expressing sympathy for George Floyd and criticism of U.S. President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance’s policies on immigration.
Because of that last part the right is calling him “woke.”
Guess anything short of calling for the genocide of undesirables is “woke” nowadays, and being anywhere left of the Strasserites is “Marxist”

Conservative catholics have plenty of reason to not bow to Trump, and no real reason to. They know better than to hop on a sinking ship.
