Read the Catechism of the Catholic Church.

He does not differ from Church Doctrine.

He’s against one and for the other.

What a strange question. What makes you ask? What makes you think he has a “position” other than Church doctrine?

 

[ringil]

He’s the Pope.

Like another poster said. . . . Read the CCC.

The pope opposes abortion in all circumstances and upholds Catholic doctrine that marriage is between one man and one woman once

I saw something a couple years ago that had pictures of St. John Paul II, Pope Benedict XVI, and Pope Francis. Under each one were these captions: Showed us what we believe, Showed us why we believe it, Showed us how to live it.

Yes, it’s a gross simplification of each pontificates, but the focus now isn’t so much “what is his position on these issues” (He is 100% supportive of the Church’s teachings on both), but the focus is more about “how do we witness to the world these teachings in a way that is merciful?”
