NEW: Pope Leo XIV says that the Catholic Church’s teaching on sexual ethics must be less prioritized over “greater, more important issues.”
“We tend to think that when the Church is talking about morality, that the only issue of morality is sexual.

We still have all these very adoptable kittens waiting for homes somehow: Goomba, Toadette, Carol & Hubert, and Soda Can
They're getting close to 1 year old and are getting passed up for younger kittens. They're all extremely sweet 💔
