What Pope Francis and the Vatican now say about same-sex unions
By A Mystery Man Writer
Last updated 11 Jun 2024
The Vatican document explicitly saying Catholic priests can bless same-sex unions lays out the conditions for how such blessings can and cannot involve. The overall goal is to make it abundantly clear to the couple and those around them that the blessing is not a religious ritual, and that it in no way resembles a marriage.

The overall goal is to make it abundantly clear to the couple and those around them that the blessing is not a religious ritual, and that it in no way resembles a marriage. This is because the Catholic Church teaches that marriage is a lifelong union between a man and a woman. Nothing has changed about the church’s position on marriage, its firm opposition to gay marriage, or its belief that any extramarital sex — gay or straight — is sinful.
