BLESSINGS FOR ABOMINATION: Pope Approves Blessings for Same-Sex Couples

Pope Francis formally approved letting Catholic priests bless same-sex couples, the Vatican announced Monday, a radical shift in policy that aimed at making the church more inclusive while maintaining its strict ban on gay marriage.

But while the Vatican statement was heralded by some as a step toward breaking down discrimination in the Catholic Church, some LGBTQ+ advocates warned it underscored the church’s idea that gay couples remain inferior to heterosexual partnerships.

The document from the Vatican’s doctrine office elaborates on a letter Francis sent to two conservative cardinals that was published in October. In that preliminary response, Francis suggested such blessings could be offered under some circumstances if the blessings weren’t confused with the ritual of marriage.

The new document repeats that condition and elaborates on it, reaffirming that marriage is a lifelong union between a man and a woman. And it stresses that blessings in question must not be tied to any specific Catholic celebration or religious service and should not be conferred at the same time as a civil union ceremony. Moreover, the blessings cannot use set rituals or even involve the clothing and gestures that belong in a wedding.

The document marks the latest gesture of outreach from a pope who has made welcoming LGBTQ+ Catholics a hallmark of his papacy. From his 2013 quip, “Who am I to judge?” about a purportedly gay priest, to his 2023 comment to The Associated Press that “Being homosexual is not a crime,” Francis has distinguished himself from all his predecessors with his message of welcome.

The significance of this news cannot be overstated,” said Francis DeBernardo of New Ways Ministry, which supports LGBTQ+ Catholics. “It is one thing to formally approve same-gender blessings, which he had already pastorally permitted, but to say that people should not be subjected to ‘an exhaustive moral analysis’ to receive God’s love and mercy is an even more significant step.”

The Rev. James Martin, who advocates for greater welcome for LGBTQ+ Catholics, praised the new document as a “huge step forward” and a “dramatic shift” from the Vatican's 2021 policy.

The new document “recognizes the deep desire in many Catholic same-sex couples for God’s presence and help in their committed relationships,” he said in an email. "Along with many Catholic priests, I will now be delighted to bless my friends in same kiss-sex marriages.”

The church is home to all, which is what Pope Francis is trying to do. The church has already made its stand known about marriage being between a man and a woman only.

But everyone is welcome to the church.

The sun shines for every one to see. If God himself doesn't segregate, who are we to !

Beware of your soul!
Beware of any soothing words or grammar used by religious title holders to go against GOD ALMIGHTY.
The foot soldiers of the man of LAWLESSNESS are taking their place on the World stage.

Listen!
God's word and standards will never change no matter how the world changes.
Leviticus 18:22
Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.

Leviticus 20:13
If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.


Romans 1:27
And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

Revelation 21:8
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.


Revelation 21:27
And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.

There are no middle grounds to modify abomination.
GOD is Good, Merciful, kind, loving does not mean HE en dorse evil under any guise.
GOD does not Bless Evil.

Gay, lgbt or lgbt2q+ or whatever it is called is Abomination. It is wickedness. It is against God's order.
It will send you to Hell Fire!!!

Run from abominations! Run from sin! Embrace JESUS CHRIST. He will wash you , make you and clean you up

Hell fire is real
Heaven is real

who told you that God doesn't segregate? Why not allow people to come naked to your church if God truly believes in the heart of a worshippers.

The pope is not Christ.

This will be the blessing to those in such irregular relationships.

May the Lord guide you and cleanse your path; may His light illuminate your heart and grant you mercy; may He draw you close, redirect your journey, and lead you away from the path of destruction you are on.

Amen!!

Hmmm.
Same sex....
What is fun in it.
God perfectly arrange the one with woman and man. The space to absorb men thing in woman.
The wetness and the timing to make is sweet.
The soft part to connect with men.
The whole stuff.
Then you left all to. Same same. Now using other part of body to complete it.
Are you abnormal?
Can you pour fuel to the radiator and expect it to function with the car ?
Can you be driving car backwards (reverse) for your entire journey ?
Can you replace natural saliva with water?

We have seen it all in this generation. God is totally against same sex marriage and it's not the will of God for mankind. Even animals are not sexually related to same sex. Human beings have truly denigrate God will for mankind.

In the case of Catholics, it will become Church of Rome Vs Church of

We've seen that with the Anglican Communion. The Church of England finds this same sex thing conducive, not the Church of Jerusalem. Nigerian Anglican Communion aligns with Church of Jerusalem.
