Cardinal Giacomo Casanova told the Italian State Broadcasting’s radio service that “there can be no rules” about this question.

Why not? My edits make just as much sense, in terms of scripture, as the real article.

Vatican II was a mistake; a huge mistake.
“If you give a “blessing” they will expect the next thing to be a “marriage” ceremony.”
