    … The Vatican said on Monday in a landmark ruling approved by Pope Francis that Roman Catholic priests can administer blessings to same-sex couples as long as they are not part of regular Church rituals or liturgies.

    … A document from the Vatican’s doctrinal office said such blessings would not legitimise irregular situations but be a sign that God welcomes all…

    …It should in no way be confused with the sacrament of heterosexual marriage…

    This is gaywashing at best, but it still sounds like blatant homophobia.

    No change to “not a sin to be gay, it is a sin to have gay sex”. Add on that gay couples are now officially “irregular”.

    Wow, great strides there. (👈sarcasm)
