This pope breaks new ground every day, partly because so many areas have been left untouched over the years.
Thank you to Pope Francis for granting a private audience to a transgender man from Spain, also a former member of a religious community who ousted him after his transition.

Diego Neria Lejárraga, who underwent sex-reassignment surgery and was subsequently rejected by his religious community, claims he reached out to Pope Francis in December and received a call from the pontiff on Christmas Eve, Spanish newspaper Hoy reported. On Saturday, Lejárraga and his fiancee told the paper they met with Pope Francis in his residence at the Vatican.
This pope is fearless. He apparently wanted to give a pastoral voice to Diego and to learn about this issue first-hand.
Those surrounding the pope are not fearless, however. No comment or verification from the Vatican.
