Rome: Catholic Church allows priests to bless same-sex couples. The Vatican leadership said that moral standards should not exclude those who seek God’s help.
Priests should bless the couple according to the newly approved rules in the church order.
To this end, Pope Francis approved the decision by signing a decree amending the Church’s creeds.
The decree issued by the Vatican specifically mentions the blessings to be given to same-sex couples.
But the order says same-sex marriage cannot be performed and marriage is a lifelong contract between a man and a woman.
But the order also mentions that giving blessings to same-sex couples is a different situation.
A month ago, the Vatican said that under certain circumstances the Catholic Church might accept baptism and serve as godparents from the trans community. The church’s statement is described as a ‘major step towards trans inclusion’.
Media reported that people were divided on whether the Catholic Church might implement women’s ordination to the Catholic priesthood, legalization of abortion, and permission for same-sex couples to marry in churches.
