Pope Francis has formally approved allowing priests to bless same-sex couples, with a new document explaining a radical change in Vatican policy by insisting that people seeking God’s love and mercy shouldn’t be subject to “an exhaustive moral analysis” to receive it.
It’s progress, I suppose. But are there any Gays that would actively seek out a blessing from an institution who sees their lifestyle as “objectively disordered”?
Yes. That’s why the pope made this decision.
I’ve found a surprising number of the European gays I know are more likely to hold on to their religion than the American ones I know, but they are also far less likely to interpret the bible literally to begin with.
To be honest I can’t think of a single Christian whose lifestyle isn’t considered “objectively disordered” by the Church.
