The pontiff says any request for such a blessing should be treated with "pastoral charity".

He added, however, that the Church still considered same-sex relationships "objectively sinful"

DUDE you cannot bless a relationship you consider sinful.

The Catholic Church has been running on doublethinking for almost 2000 years, why stop now?

Good to see the Pope say this.

Obv he can't come out and say "just chill with the homophobic shit" but this is honestly a giant step. I'm really happy that he is the current pope, as he really pushes the church to update their social norms.
