Catholic Church Refuses to Sanction Same Sex Unions–Crisis Magazine
This week, the Offices of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, with the specific assent of Pope Francis, issued an instruction stating that the Church cannot sanction blessings of homosexual relationships, partnerships, or other unions. Given the push in some influential Catholic circles, including from prominent German bishops, this was a most welcome statement. However, it may have come at a time when it will be viewed by much of the Catholic populace as just another irrelevant sexual proclamation.
