Pope Francis appears to open door to alternate blessings for gay couples

  • Pope Francis clarified the stance of the Catholic Church on same-sex unions, stating that while the Church only recognizes marriage as between a man and a woman, individual blessings may be offered to those in same-sex unions.
  • The Pope emphasized the need for pastoral prudence and case-by-case consideration when it comes to requests for blessings, indicating that these decisions should not necessarily become the norm.
  • The Pope also reiterated the Church's position on women's ordination, upholding the words of Pope John Paul II that the Church has no authority to ordain women, but expressing the need to study the issue further to educate doubters.
