Rome: The DDF Authorizes the Blessing of Same-Sex or Unmarried Couples

DECEMBER 19, 2023

"It is important to point out the scandalous nature of this text, which, despite the semantic squirming, appears to counter the preceding decision of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.

The scandal lies in the fact that ... the result produced on the faithful ... is one of affirmation: 'The Church authorizes the blessing of same-sex couples,' without any other distinctions that the dicastery attempts to set down.

“But in the blessing of a 'couple,' the very object of the blessing is this illegitimate union that Catholic doctrine condemns. And to say, in paragraph no. 40, that in this blessing 'there is no intention to legitimize anything,' is at best a vain wish, at worst a perjury.

"In conclusion, this Declaration ... introduces a seed of deep division and will do incalculable harm in the Church. We can only hope that reactions to it quickly give the authors an understanding of this."
