Pope Francis Celebrates 10 Years of Progressive Leadership.

Pope Francis marks his 10th anniversary as the head of the Catholic Church, reflecting on his papacy and calling for peace in Ukraine. He also spoke out against gender ideology, calling it one of the most dangerous ideological colonizations. While he has remained orthodox on doctrines regarding sexuality and celibacy, recent comments on the adaptable nature of priestly celibacy drew accusations from conservatives that the pope was open to allowing Catholic priests to marry. However, he has previously praised clerical celibacy as a "gift to the Church" and expressed his aversion to changing the norms.
