... 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.

I hate the Catholic Church as an organization but have always wanted to get married inside a traditional Mexican Catholic Church as they are some of the most beautiful works of art created and have years of history embedded into their very walls.

I’m sure many house evils unspoken, but many have served their community in spectacular ways. (I am particularly speaking of rural and coastal Mexico)

This makes it a little closer for those gay boys that still hold the church close to them, to be a little more part of it. It doesn’t really affect the gay boys that don’t participate. I think it’s cool that they’ve acknowledged gay marriage and that they’re wishing the best for the couples.
