Vatican: “it is not permissible to give blessings to homosexual relationships” – breaking latest news

“It is not permissible to impart a blessing to relationships, or even stable partnerships, which involve a sexual practice outside marriage (that is, outside the indissoluble union of a man and a woman open in themselves to the transmission of life), such as this is the case of same-sex unions “. We read it in the Responsum of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith ad undubium regarding the blessing of unions of persons of the same sex. “To be consistent with the nature of sacramentals, when a blessing is invoked on some human relationships it is necessary – in addition to the right intention of those who participate in it – that what is blessed is objectively and positively ordered to receive and express grace, in function of God’s designs inscribed in Creation and fully revealed by Christ the Lord. Therefore, only those realities which are in themselves ordered to serve those designs are compatible with the essence of the blessing imparted by the Church “, we read.
