Cardinal Matteo Zuppi reportedly praised “queer” families at an Italian film festival last week, saying that “the point is to love each other.” The Daily Compass, an Italian-based Catholic news outlet, reported that Cardinal Zuppi—regarded by some to be a candidate for Pope Francis’ successor—answered a question from journalists at the Giffoni Film Festival regarding the Church’s relationship with the queer community. According to a news release from the festival, Cardinal Zuppi reportedly said that “everyone must be in the Church” and added that in his opinion, the term “queer” means a “bond” that can exist “without there necessarily being a legal aspect.”
