Understanding the Pope’s position on the blessing of Same-Sex relationships before rushing to misrepresent the truth: *“Fiducia supplicans"* in simpler terms: *1. Blessings, not marriage:* The Church understands blessings as ways to ask for God's grace and favour in various situations. This document clarifies that it's possible to bless same-sex couples without recognizing their union as marriage. *2. No change in marriage teaching:* The Church's teaching on marriage as between a man and a woman remains unchanged. This blessing gesture doesn't endorse their relationship but shows God's love for all. *3. Blessings come in different forms:* There are formal blessings, like at weddings, and informal ones, like at shrines. This document focuses on informal blessings, where anyone, including those in irregular relationships, can ask for God's blessing. *4. Blessings show humility and need for God:* Asking for a blessing expresses trust in God and a desire for his goodness. Even if someone's situation isn't perfect, they can still seek God's grace. *5. Blessings have limits:* While the Church can offer blessings to everyone, it can't bless anything contrary to God's will. So, this blessing doesn't legitimize same-sex unions but asks for God's guidance and love. *6. Discernment and respect:* The document encourages pastors to use their judgment when deciding about such blessings. The setting and words should be clear to avoid confusion with marriage ceremonies. *7. Hope and openness:* Ultimately, this document reflects the Church's desire to welcome everyone with God's love and mercy, even those in challenging situations. It's a step towards greater understanding and pastoral care. *Remember:* This is a simplified explanation of a complex document. For a deeper understanding, consult the original text (the English version begins on pages 20 through 28) -- 32 Likes 7 Shares |

Pope Francis didn't ask the priests to start wedding gay couples. He simply said they are free to bless them because everyone deserves God's blessings and he hopes that would make them change their ways. People should stop distorting facts. 52 Likes 5 Shares |

We know blessings makes Holy isn't it. By implication.... You make something holy by impacting your blessings. This is simple sylogistic summarry after I took another look at the whole issue. We do need a controversial person.... They have been other Popes without controversies in very sensitive issues...why is Pope Francis different? 3 Likes |

See this Mumu. Are you holier than the Pope? Many people don't know why Christianity is Synonymous to Homosexuality. Romans 1: 22-27 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God into that of a mortal human being (Jesus) and birds and animals and reptiles. 24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They changed the truth about God into a lie, and worshiped and served a creature (Jesus) rather than the Creator (God Almighty) —who is forever praised. Amen. 26 For this Curse, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones(Lesbianism). 27 In the same way, the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another (Gayism). Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error. The above verses point clearly to why Christianity is synonymous to Homosexuality. Christian nations trying very hard to promote homosexuality, thier Pope (Highest Christian Personality) justifying homosexuality and blessing it. They want the whole world to be morally corrupted by their Curse as mentioned by the Bible. The only solution to Homosexuality today is for Christians to stop worshipping a Mortal creature(Jesus) and worship the True Creator as this is what brought the curse of homosexuality in the first place. Only a sick person thinks sexual relationship between (Same gender) women or Men is not a curse. 7 Likes |
