Mixed reactions have trailed the Vatican’s approval of blessings for same-sex couples
“One should not prevent or prohibit the Church’s closeness to people in every situation in which they might seek God’s help through a simple blessing,” it said.
However, it does not change the Catholic Church’s stance on same-sex marriages or unions. The Church insists marriage is only between a man and a woman, for the purpose of having children.
A series of mixed reactions have since followed the news:
That first sentence is very misleading.
It’s not the marriage they are blessing, it’s the individuals.
Same sex marriage is still not allowed by the Catholic Church and cannot be officiated by a Catholic priest.

I believe our Pope has erred on this matter. He has given in to liberal pressure.
I cannot support the Pope on this. Indeed the gates of hell is waging a very aggressive war on the church of Christ.

was there same sex marriage in the Bible?
for a pope to endorse this, then we can all agree that we are in the last days— flora🌹🌹the explorer (@floraD_explorer) December 18, 2023
This is important. Letting aside the religious concept of marriage, I think it’s major to recognize that a same sex couple is also, for the most part, an enterprise of love. Love for one another as love is given to us all is a concept present in every religion. It’s a good start…

Pope Francis is now allowing priests to bless same sex unions. He says such unions should not be subject to “exhaustive moral analysis” and that anyone seeking God‘s love and mercy should receive it. Millions of lives will be released from judgement by this, many families reconciled, many hearts given comfort that were tormented before. Much respect for him for this. This is truly a great thing.

It doesn’t mean that the Catholic church now accepts same sex couples for marriage. What it implies is this : In the Catholic Church, a blessing is a prayer or plea, usually delivered by a minister, asking for God to look favourably on the person or people being blessed.
