Leo XIV Cites Humanae Vitae, Contradicts Francis on Marriage as "Ideal"
To conclude the Jubilee of Families, Pope Leo XIV presided a Eucharist today and reflected in his homily on marriage.
He described relationships as "free and liberating bonds" among human beings which are sometimes "betrayed": "For example, whenever freedom is invoked not to give life but to take it away, not to succour but to harm."
Leo XIV quoted the 1968 encyclical Humanae Vitae, which condemned contraception. He explained that "the Church tells us that today's world needs the conjugal covenant in order to know and accept God's love, and to overcome by its unifying and reconciling power those forces that disintegrate relationships and societies."
Addressing the spouses, he said: "Marriage is not an ideal, but the canon of true love between man and woman: total, faithful, fruitful love."
This contradicts and corrects Pope Francis's erroneous document 'Amoris Laetitia', in which he dismissed the indissolubility of marriage in Chapter 8 as an 'ideal' that is "sometimes unattainable". …More

Bergoglio’s Seven Heresies in Amoris Laetitiae
Leo XIV: “…marriage is not an ideal but the measure of true love between a man and a woman: a love that is total, faithful and fruitful” (cf. Humane Vitae, 9). A correction of Amoris Laetitia? For it, in fact, marriage was an ideal (no 122) and individual conscience paramount!
He once again quoted Francis: "Dear friends, we received life before we ever desired it. As Pope Francis said: “all of us are sons and daughters, but none of us chose to be born” (Angelus, 1 January 2025)."
For all those who saw Francis as an aberration, Leo is saying "no" he was in continuity with the post Vatican II Church, a new sort of hermeneutic of continuity. In that sense he agrees with Tucho that Francis' teachings should be defended as part of the "recent Magisterium":

At the Jubilee for Families, Pope Leo XIV says: “The Father does not love us less than He loves His Only Begotten Son, that is, infinitely.”
"today's world needs the conjugal covenant" -- Pope Leo XIV
He seems to know a lot about conjugal stuff. He should talk to clergy and religious about celibacy.
Look! The new pope threw Catholics a bone. /sarc
