With all due respect to Edward Pentin, respected journalist quoted below on X, and the chattering classes: Rome all along under Francis cares only about changing the practice.
You don’t have to “change” doctrine, an impossibility, if you change the practice, whether by means fair or foul.
Doctrine exists to direct our actions. If Rome blesses actions contrary to doctrine they accomplish the same end as changing doctrine among those who applaud and comply with the new practice.
Actions matter. Actions change reality although they do not change truth. Whether giving Communion to those in an objective state of adultery as in Amoris Laetitia, or now as in the pretense on the part of officials in Rome to authorize blessing sin in the latest document Fiducia supplans, the faithful are encouraged to ignore doctrine, ignore truth. The reality can be changed to sideline doctrine and make it seem to disappear as you encourage more and more people to change the practice.
Blessing illicit sexual indulgence is the point of the whole exercise.
N.B. Anyone who never would have thought of asking for a blessing before this new document from Fernandez but who as a result of it would now be motivated to do so as a political stunt should for that reason not receive a blessing anyway. God cannot bless a bad will..
