Pope Francis' suggestion that the Catholic Church may be able to bless queer unions is of a kind that stimulated the Protestant Reformation led by Martin Luther. It's a mostly free world so of course the fallable fellow in the Vatican can go ahead and make statements in conflict with the will of God as expressed in the Bible.
Romans 1:26-27
26 "For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet."
Corrupt Western elites have green lighted queer unions and expect the world to ride along. The Pope knows what side his bread is buttered on and believes a little syncretism might not be a bad thing for Church attendance and political correctness. Making the Catholic Church a kind of chameleon taking on some of the trappings of worldliness might open doors that would be closed to Christian morality.

It is wrong for church leaders to give aid and comfort to spiritual enemies and dupe humans into believing that sinful conduct in contradiction of scriptural guidelines is acceptable behavior to God. Conforming to atheist, worldly will philosophically on moral issues isn’t necessary and neither is it good policy.
Jeremiah 3-9 “3 They are always ready to tell lies; dishonesty instead of truth rules the land. The Lord says, "My people do one evil thing after another and do not acknowledge me as their God."
4 Everyone must be on guard against their friends, and no one can trust their relatives; for all relatives are as deceitful as Jacob, and everyone slanders their friends.
5 They all mislead their friends, and no one tells the truth; they have taught their tongues to lie and will not give up their sinning. They do one violent thing after another, and one deceitful act follows another. The Lord says that his people reject him.
7 Because of this the Lord Almighty says, "I will refine my people like metal and put them to the test. My people have done evil - what else can I do with them?
8 Their tongues are like deadly arrows; they always tell lies. Everyone speaks friendly words to their neighbors, but they are really setting a trap for them.
9 Will I not punish them for these things? Will I not take revenge on a nation like this? I, the Lord, have spoken."
Google News science is featuring a couple of articles today explaining how same-sex (sic) evolution strategies can work for some animals. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-41290-x
If 4% of mammal species have same-sex behavior (261 species) the implication is that humans need to accept that their own species has aberrant behavior too and should support it politically. While it is the right of people to be queer it does not follow that Christian should change their opinion from a Bible based one to those satisfactory to lizards, select furry creatures and various mammals without rhyme or reason.
every human certainly has an natural right to be free of personal abuse and to have security in society. Democracies at least are not obligated to codify into law the will of minorities ways if that will adversely impact all of society such as has homosexual marriage with the subversion of biological family lines. A Christian Church is however set aside from society in that it is of the City of God rather than the City of Man. Christians are in the world yet not of it for they are reborn in the spirit of God. Churches that take the path of worldliness over Godliness will present more than a few members to the wrong side of the bar on the last day.
