Wydawnictwo Biały Kruk: "Leon XIV. Biography illustrated"
date:07 June 2025 Editor: Anna
Pope Leon XIV for the first time in his – of course inactive short – pontificate openly opposed the teaching of Pope Francis. It is specifically about knowing marriage, whose definition in teaching Francis has been diluted many times. Leon XIV said this clearly: halt – and point out clearly the teaching of John Paul II.
Pope Leon corrects Francis' position on the concubinet. Francis sparked an global scandal erstwhile on June 16, 2016, he stated that the concubinet was a "real marriage" and that it had the grace of a actual marriage.
It's hard to believe – possibly many of us have already denied it – but it truly was. Just look at the Vatican website. These are the words of Pope Francis 9 years ago:
"In agrarian areas of northeastern Argentina... couples have children and live together. They take a civilian wedding erstwhile the kid goes to school and erstwhile they become grandparents – “they get married ecclesiastically,” Francis said. He added that “it’s superstition due to the fact that matrimony scares a man. It is simply a superstition that we must overcome.” And then, “I have seen much faithfulness in specified relationships, and I am certain that these are actual marriages—have the grace of actual matrimony through their faithfulness.”
It wasn't an individual statement. On February 25, 2017, Pope Francis spoke in a akin spirit during a speech to Rota Rome.
Fortunately, Leon XIV presents a completely different approach: he is faithful to the teachings of the Church and has interior consistency in his views. In a peculiar message to the participants of the seminar "Evangelise with families present and tomorrow: ecclesiological and pastoral challenges", The Holy Father clearly pointed out that the adhoration of the “Familiaris consortio” of St John Paul II was the basis for matrimony ethics and teaching about family. Pope Leon said:
"Perhaps many young people who choose to live together present without matrimony alternatively than a sacramental marriage, in fact request individual who in a concrete and clear way – especially an example of their own life – will show them what the gift of sacramental grace is and how powerful it is. individual who will aid them to realize “the beauty and greatness of the calling for love and service of life” which God gives to his spouses.”
The Church has not changed science: out of love and concern for her creations, God teaches us that matrimony is simply a prerequisite for sexual intercourse. The Catechism of the Catholic Church, point 2353, clearly states:
"The harlot is simply a bodily union between a free man and a free female outside of marriage. It is in serious conflict with the dignity of the human individual and his sexuality in a naturally subordinate way to the welfare of the spouses, as well as the transfer of life and upbringing of children. In addition, fornication is simply a serious offence erstwhile it causes depraved youth.”
Leon XIV recalled this teaching present and one more time became known as a pope who uncompromisingly defends conventional Catholic values and orthodoxy.
And finally, a small announcement. Many of you followed our relation with the Vatican before, during and after the conclave. After the election of the Pope, we spent respective more weeks in Rome to get to know the fresh Holy Father. I spoke to dozens of people – co-workers of the pope, Augustians, lecturers, cardinals. We visited places close to Leon XIV. From these experiences was created the book "Leon XIV. Illustrated Biography" – more than 400 pages devoted to the fresh Pope.
For all we know, this is the most extended biography of Leon XIV, which has so far appeared in the world. You can find the link to the pre-sale below – the book can now be ordered with the author's autographs and dedication. All you gotta do is compose what you want in the order notes.
