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.
I’m no Francis fan, first off.
Just in general, if you ask the priest for a blessing, he doesn’t ask the state of your conscience. You could have slept with your neighbor’s wife the night before, or done numerous other things, including homosexual acts, etc.
Pope Francis never explains anything, which is a real problem. Blessing a homo union is one thing, giving someone a blessing as an individual is quite another.
In short if you walked up and asked for a blessing, a priest would not ask if you’d committed adultery, watched porn last night, or anything else. It specifically says that blessing the union in a liturgical sense, or anything that equates it with marriage is out.
