Catholic Church cannot bless same sex union – The Vatican

The Vatican has stated that priests and other Catholic Church ministers cannot bless same-sex unions and that such blessings are “not licit” if carried out.

The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF), the Vatican’s doctrinal office, issued the ruling in response to queries on why some parishes try to impart such blessings as a sign of welcome to gay Catholics since the Church does not permit homosexual marriage.

Pope Francis approved the response, the CDF said, adding that it was “not intended to be a form of unjust discrimination, but rather a reminder of the truth of the liturgical rite”.

It said “such blessings were not permissible even though they were motivated by a sincere desire to welcome and accompany homosexual persons and help them grow in the faith”.

The CDF statement said that since marriage between a man and a woman was a sacrament and blessings are related to the sacrament of marriage, they could not be extended to same-sex couples.

The CDF said “For this reason, it is not licit to impart a blessing on relationships, or partnerships, even stable, that involve sexual activity outside of marriage (i.e., outside the indissoluble union of a man and a woman open in itself to the transmission of life), as is the case of the unions between persons of the same sex.”
