Pope Francis never ceases to surprise. According to information released by the Spanish magazine Hoy and not denied by the Vatican, the pontiff met last Saturday a transsexual with his fiancée, after receiving a letter and have him called.
Since Diego Lejárraga Neria, who lives in Spain, considers himself "a man in peace." A fervent Catholic, he told Hoy writing to the Argentine Pope after feeling rejected and deeply hurt by his parish. A priest would have the same treaty "daughter of the devil."
These are positive about the Pope François against LGBT people who have encouraged Diego to try his luck. "I felt that he would listen to me," he told the magazine.
The man has so far not revealed the contents of his private meeting with the Pope, but considers that the mere fact of being personally heard is already a huge step forward.
Pope François phone and writes regularly to people around the world who expose their problems to him and he receives a few. But if this unexpected event can appear as a sign of openness, there has never commented on the status of transsexuals. However, it has in the past expressed his opposition to gay marriage. On the issue of homosexuality, François was open to individuals, while remaining on the traditional line of the Catechism of the Catholic Church that preaches chastity and condemns homosexual acts without condemning the person.
