Abstract
Historically, the Catholic Church has marginalized its homosexual
followers due to their nonconforming sexuality. Further analysis will
examine Pope Francis, prior papacies, and the continued stigma that homosexuals
face within the Church in order to determine whether Pope Francis
has enacted change. Such research will discredit the attempts of Pope Francis
and reveal that while the acceptance of homosexuals within religion has liberalized,
Catholic doctrinal law remains prejudiced against homosexual union.
As a result, Catholics who identify as homosexual struggle to identify with
the Church, which causes them additional strain in their personal endeavor
to discover themselves.
