    A section of the book where Francis states that homosexuality is not a crime and that gay and transgender people are welcomed in the church has been struck out by being covered by solid black lines in the Russian edition.

    His thoughts on the inclusion of transgender people in Catholic rites such as baptism have also similarly been struck out.
