It’s one thing to read what Pope Leo said about changing doctrines, quite another thing when you listen to his very words in this regard.
Jesuitical Father James Martin, SJ, desiring from the bottom of his sacred soul that the Church will change Catholic sexual morality as taught by Scripture and Tradition and the Deposit of Faith, was gleeful when he tweeted that Pope Leo said we have to change attitudes before we change doctrine.
He thought, in his most Jesuitical way, that Pope Leo was calling for everyone in the Church who are opposed to changing sexual morality of the Church, to change their attitude about no change so that change can take place and no one will feel excluded by having to give up their sexual sins through conversion and repentance.
But when I heard Pope Leo say what he said, I hear him being a bit incredulous that people want the Church to change Scripture, Tradition and the Magisterium of the Church about the sinfulness of certain sexual acts outside of a licit marriage between one man and one woman, for a lifetime, and for the begetting of children and Christian families, the core of society.
They have to change their attitudes before doctrine can be changed, which is a bit of an American English colloquialism. In other words:

This is going to set him against the entrenched homosexual factions in the Church. They will probably continue to flaunt their Satanic masses and misinterpret Church and the Pope's teachings successfully because people will get limited and misleading information through their participating clergy and religious. I think the Pope is not strong enough politically, and more importantly, financially, to rebuff or correct Mr. Martin and his associates.
Father James Martin, S.J., is not alone in regard to the spin that he had placed upon Pope Leo XIV's declaration in question. Here is one of such numerous examples:

-- Leo XIV publicly doubts Catholic teaching on sexual morality and the immutability of dogma
(LifeSiteNews) — In his first extended interview, Leo XIV fell short of affirming the immutability of the Church’s teaching on sexual morality, and strongly implied that changes could be possible in the future.

Numerous left-wingers, as well as right-wingers, have advanced the above spin.
However, I am not concerned in regard to the "controversy" in question. The reason is that Pope Leo XIV's Magisterial pronouncements will always prove orthodox.
Thanks to the promise of Jesus Christ, Pope Leo XIV will preserve the Catholic Religion in immaculate fashion.

There seems to be a lot of confusion about the difference between dogma doctrine and teaching and what can change / develop and what can’t. Perhaps Leo should address this issue within his next encyclical.
Certainly Leo never said dogma or doctrine can change.
OMG Trump’s really lost the plot and gone bonkers now, how did you elect such a dangerous nut?

Apparently London wants sharia law. A not so subtle racist attack on our ethnic mayor. Where’s he get this stuff from. It was the far right’s screed about 5 years ago.
Last time the UN laughed at his speech. Scarcely this time they were to scared to, including his ridiculous claim that he solved 7 wars.

Trump is swapping the New Testament for the old!

Sounds like Leo is considering a broader reconsideration of the liturgy rather than the liberalisation of the TLM!
