CATHOLIC CHURCH CANNOT BLESS SAME SEX UNIONS :VATICAN

  • 16/03/2021

The Vatican  said that while priests should be welcoming towards homsexual people, they cannot bless same-sex marriages as such blessings "cannot be considered licit " .The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, the Vatican's doctrinal watchdog, issued the decree in response to questions raised by some pastors. The response was approved by Pope Francis, who last year endorsed same-sex civil union laws in an interview for a documentary film.The decree said that while "the Christian community and its pastors must welcome with respect and sensitivity those individuals with homosexual inclinations", their unions cannot be blessed as God "does not bless sin".In the decree released , the Vatican said that Catholic teaching held that marriage between a man and woman was part of god's plan, and since same sex unions were not intended to be part of that plan, they could not be blessed by the church
