The church newspaper of the diocese reports of two parishes in which same-sex couples are blessed. The diocesan working group for homosexual pastoral wishes to see more openness on the part of the church.
Linz (kath.net/jg) The church newspaper of the Diocese of Linz reports on church blessings of homosexual couples in two of its parishes at the time around Valentine's Day.
"The offer can be used by lovers in all walks of life - including lesbian and gay couples," it literally says about the blessings in the parish of St. Francis in Wels. Of the latter, the blessing is scarcely claimed, according to the report. Parish assistant Irmgard Lehner sees the cause as "that it is still taboo to officially show". In their "worship church", there are gay and lesbian people. However, many of them would have experienced "injuries and grievances" in their contacts with the Catholic Church and would now wonder if there was room for them in the Catholic Church.
