This is a good time to check the 'Views' section of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Leo_XIV#Views

Some important bits:

> he expressed sympathy for George Floyd and criticized U.S. immigration policies

> Prevost advocated for stronger Church action against climate change

> Prevost opposes the ordination of women

> Prevost opposes euthanasia, abortion, and the death penalty. [...] In 2012, he criticized popular culture's sympathy for the "homosexual lifestyle" and same-sex families.

Are any of those views any different from any previous Pope?

The difference the media likes to talk about between "liberal" and "conservative" popes (and candidates) is not in the beliefs but which parts of those beliefs they communicate effectively. Perceptions are also heavily influenced by what the media choose to report (they are far more interested in some topics than others).
