Leo XIV appoints blatant heretics to Vatican commission.
Today, Pope Leo XIV appointed 24 new members to the International Theological Commission and renewed the mandates of six others, bringing its total membership to 30. The International Theological Commission was established in 1969 by Pope Paul VI to advise the Pope and the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith.
Chilean Theologian praises Communion for practicing Homosexuals
Among the newly appointed members is Claudia Leal Luna, a Chilean theologian and professor at the Pontifical John Paul II Theological Institute for Marriage and Family Sciences in Rome.
She is known for questioning the Church's teaching on homosexuality.
In March 2021, following a declaration by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith prohibiting blessings of same-sex unions, Leal Luna attacked the document in an interview with 'Radio Universidad de Chile'.
Luna criticized the Vatican's distinction between blessing homosexual individuals and blessing their relationships, describing the declaration as reflecting a “somewhat taxidermic anthropology.” She argued that even the personalist anthropology of John Paul II could hardly separate human beings from their relationships, since these relationships are constitutive of personal identity.
The key phrase is that she praises practicing homosexuals who receive sacrilegious sacraments. She recognizes “the experience of faith of people who have cultivated a sacramental and ecclesial life and who tell us that God created them this way - not as a punishment or a sin, but because this is how they are meant to make their contribution to the world and the Church.”
She insisted that the Church's position on "sexual diversity" was not definitively settled and expected the debate to continue.
Brazil Priest: “No religion is absolute”
Another appointed member is Brazilian priest Tiago de Fraga Gomes. He is a theologian at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul.
Gomes has written extensively about interreligious dialogue and religious pluralism.
In the description of his 2022 book ‘O logos dialógico em teologia’ appears the following assertion: “None of the historical manifestations of God can be considered absolute.”
The description argues that every historical manifestation of God is necessarily conditioned by its particular context and therefore limited.
Gomes developed similar themes in an article coauthored with Vanessa Mirapalheta Oliveira, published in January 2026 in the theological journal Fronteiras.
He wrote: “The Church, consequently, is invited to recognize that it does not possess the fullness of truth in absolute terms, but receives it progressively.”
Or: “No historical religion is absolute.”
Or: “The uniqueness of Jesus of Nazareth cannot be absolutized to the point of excluding other religions.”
Or: “Christian revelation, although definitive, cannot claim to be unconditional.”
Or: “People are saved in and through the religious traditions to which they belong.”
Scotish Theologian wants female “ordination”
A third appointment is Sara Parvis, an associate professor at the University of Edinburgh's School of Divinity. Parvis has published in favour of the [invalid] female ordination.
One example is her 2020 article titled ‘Excavating Misogyny and Building on Women's History’.
She claimed [despite evidence to the contrary]: “Only men who are attested to explicitly believe that women cannot be ordained are permitted to become bishops.”
Or: “Pope Francis still habitually speaks in theological terms of ‘woman’: Christine de Pizan explained why that move is intellectually illegitimate more than 600 years ago. There is no generic ‘woman’ as a separate theological or moral subject– there are only women.”
“Christine teaches us that our analysis of misogyny must be systematically pursued throughout the whole of theological culture, from the most scholarly level to the most frivolous, and it must be done by women themselves.”
In 2024, Parvis wrote that “the diaconate for women would offer a new and specifically ecclesial vocation.”
