(LifeSiteNews) — Pope Leo XIV has met with the heretical pro-LGBT nun Sr. Lucia Caram.
The Roman Pontiff received Caram in a private audience on August 28. However, the meeting was not publicized on the Vatican’s daily bulletin, and neither Caram nor the Spanish-language news portal Religión Digital, which she is associated with, reported on it.
Usually, Religión Digital publishes all important activities of Caram. The audience only became known because Vatican Media published photos of the meeting, and InfoVaticana and British Deacon Nick Donnelly reported the story.
Caram is a Dominican nun from Argentina who lives in Spain and is known for her openly heretical, pro-LGBT, and pro-abortion positions.
In September 2023, she said that homosexual “couples” should be able to “marry in the Church.”
In an interview with porn actor Nacho Vidal in 2017, Caram stated that “for a long time the Church has dedicated itself to stoning those who weren’t living according to the norm.”
In 2014, she claimed that the Church should not get involved in the decision of women to kill their unborn children. She told online news portal La Opinión de Málaga that “those who freely make the decision [to abort] have to be the people [involved]. The Church cannot meddle in there. Not even God, who made us free for a reason.”
In a 2013 interview with a Colombian newspaper, Caram defended the use of artificial contraception and stated that “hell does not exist.”
Caram and the team of Religión Digital also met with Pope Francis in March 2024.
The reason and content of the meeting between the Pope and Caram are unknown.
Two days after meeting the Dominican sister, the Pope also met with Father James Martin, S.J., who is known for his fervent pro-LGBT promotion within the Catholic Church.
Martin shared on social media platform X that he is “profoundly grateful” for the audience with the Pontiff, adding that the “message” he took from the meeting “was that Pope Leo will be continuing with the same openness that Francis showed to LGBTQ Catholics.”
While neither the Vatican nor the Pope commented on the meetings with these two prominent heterodox figures, faithful Catholics have expressed concerns that Pope Leo may quietly continue his predecessor’s path of implicitly – and sometimes explicitly – promoting heterodox ideas.
LifeSiteNews Editor-in-Chief John-Henry Westen noted that Martin’s Monday morning meeting with Leo XIV represents “the nightmare scenario” he warned of at the commencement of the new papacy. “As I told Glenn Beck,” Westen stated, “a less bombastic pope could quietly cement a false new direction. The James Martin approach defies Christ, His Church, Scripture, and 2,000 years of tradition.”
