It is an individual blessing, despite all the headlines that lead you to believe otherwise.
It is no different than someone approaching during communion that isn’t able to receive. There is no discussion or questions asked if they ask to receive a blessing.
Reading the actual document is sort of important, of course news outlets don’t let that stand in their way.
I did. It's a sleazy attempt to (metaphorically) get the camel's nose into the tent. Its author is a heretic, at best.
We have to disagree. It is very different. If the “b!essing” was to overcome homosexual attraction and behavior with the.admonishment, “ go and sin no more” I would agree. You cannot bless those entrenched in sin who have no intention of change and relish their sin. Church teaching has not changed and homosexuality is intrinsically disordered despite the pope and ddf who live it. You do not bless sin. Francis thrives in playing this game where he gives ambiguous endorsement to sin. You know full well that despite anything he wrote, it is a gimme to those wanting to endorse lgbtq and that is already how to globohomo crowd is already representing the ambiguity.
