Father James Martin on Monday tweeted the handwritten letter, together with an English translation, sent after he organised an online conference on the theme of support for the LGBTQ community.
“I want to thank you for your pastoral zeal and your ability to be close to people, with the closeness that Jesus had, and which reflects the closeness of God,” the pope wrote.
In the letter, Francis stresses the inclusive nature of his faith, asserting that God “loves each of his children” and that his style has “three elements: closeness, compassion and tenderness”.
