The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) stated that the Catholic Church cannot bless same-sex unions, the Vatican said on Monday, March 15, 2021.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Does the Catholic Church have the power to give blessings to same-sex unions? The answer is: Negative.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith says it loves the sinner, but this does not mean the Church justifies a sin.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n

Catholicism sees the bond of marriage as a union between a man and a woman who are open to life and procreation.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

In response to a \u201cdubium\u201d (doubt) question put to it, the Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith (CDF) of the Catholic Church said, \u201cWe cannot consider such blessings licit.\u201d So, priests should not bless homosexual couples who ask for some type of religious recognition of their union, the CDF stated. Pope Francis \u201cgave his assent\u201d to the publication of its response to the dubium, confirmed the CDF.<\/p>\n

The Church is not saying no to\u00a0same-sex marriages<\/a>. It is saying no to the pure eventuality that gay unions \u2013 be they de facto or de iure, sanctioned by a very secular public document as by a private agreement \u2013 can get any form of blessing from the\u00a0Catholic Church<\/a>\u00a0which governs her people, but not at the cost of following the trends of the century, reported AGI.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\u201cWe love the sinner, writes the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, but this does not mean that the Church justifies a sin.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cardinal Luis Ladaria, prefect of the former Holy Office and material writer of the denial of blessings and of the explanatory note participated in the announcement as well as Bergoglio himself who \u201cin the course of an audience granted to the undersigned Secretary of the Congregation, was informed and gave his consent.\u201d The secretary, for the record, is the archbishop of Cerveteri (Lazio region) Giacomo Morandi.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Sin cannot be blessed<\/strong><\/h4>\n

In the traditional form of the question \u2013 the \u201cdubium\u201d \u2013 and of the answer, here is the question in summary. Dubium: \u201cDoes the Church have the power to give blessings to same-sex unions?\u201d The answer was: \u201cNegative.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Detailed explanations follow summarized information as follows: \u201cThe blessing, in whatever form it may be, cannot be imparted in any way to a situation marked by sin, since one is not faced with a couple united by the bond of marriage understood as between man and woman and open to life and procreation. Indeed, not even one of these preconditions materializes. Blessing could be taken for a substitute form of recognition and equalization, so it cannot be.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is all despite the fact that \u201cin some ecclesial spheres, projects and proposals of blessings for same-sex unions are spreading.\u201d Of course, \u201cthese projects are not infrequently motivated by a sincere will to welcome and accompany homosexual people, to whom paths of growth in faith are proposed, so that those who manifest the homosexual tendency can have the necessary help to fully understand and realize God\u2019s will in their life.\u201d<\/p>\n

But it is one thing to accompany, understand, and interact, and quite another to give the impression of equating, justifying, recognizing, and admitting.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen a blessing is invoked on some human relationships, it is necessary that what is blessed is objectively and positively ordered to receive and express grace, according to the plans of God inscribed in Creation and fully revealed by Christ the Lord,\u201d explains in a document signed by Cardinal Ladaria.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnly those realities which are in themselves ordered to serve those designs are compatible with the essence of the blessing imparted by the Church.\u201d<\/p>\n

Therefore, \u201cit is not permissible to impart a blessing to relationships, or even stable partnerships, which involve a sexual practice outside marriage (that is, outside the indissoluble union of a man and a woman open in themselves to the transmission of life), as is the case with unions between persons of the same sex.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of course, in some cases in these unions, real \u201cpositive elements, which in themselves are also to be appreciated and valued\u201d can be recognized, but no \u2013 the ecclesial blessing is not: \u201cthese elements are found at the service of an unordered union to the design of the Creator.\u201d<\/p>\n

A substitute recognition<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Another point follows, particularly delicate for the Church: \u201cThe blessing of homosexual unions would in a certain way constitute an imitation or a reference to analogy with the nuptial blessing.\u201d That is: be careful not to make the blessing, given in good faith, the antechamber of the recognition of a marriage union.<\/p>\n

This is why we cannot speak of \u201cunjust discrimination\u201d against homosexuals. The Church does not discriminate against them as such but limits herself to \u201crecalling the truth of the liturgical rite and of what deeply corresponds to the essence \u201cof the sacraments.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone in the Church welcomes people with homosexual inclination with respect and delicacy, and will know how to find the most appropriate ways, consistent with ecclesial teaching, to proclaim the Gospel in its fullness.\u201d<\/p>\n

Homosexuals \u201crecognize the sincere closeness of the Church and accept its teachings with sincere availability.\u201d It is not \u201cexcluded that blessings are given to individuals with homosexual inclination\u201d but on condition that \u201cthey manifest the will to live in fidelity to God\u2019s revealed plans as proposed by ecclesial teaching.\u201d<\/p>\n

Because the crux (cross) of the matter is always the same: \u201cWe declare every form of blessing that recognizes their unions illicit,\u201d because the Church \u201cdoes not bless nor can it bless sin: it blesses the sinful man, so that he may recognize that he is part of her plan of love and allow himself be changed by Him.\u201d<\/p>\n
