Pope Francis Says He’s Open to Blessing Gay Unions in Groundbreaking Letter

In a message sent to several retired Cardinals, Pope Francis has said he’s open to priests blessing homosexual relationships, so long as there is no suggestion that they’re blessing gay marriages or that these ceremonies are to be likened to marriages between a man and a woman.

While there is no such thing as a ‘good’ pope, since they are the head of an evil and wicked heterodox church, Francis has been particularly noxious and vexatious, doing things like affirming the faith of Joe Biden and saying he would never refuse him communion because the President’s love for abortion is between him and God, endorsing civil unions for gay couples, appointing multiple pro-choice people to his pro-life organization, asking pagans to send him ‘good vibes’ and releasing an outrageously blasphemous statement.

In a letter released by the Vatican, Francis goes on to explain:

The Church has a very clear conception of marriage: an exclusive, stable and indissoluble union between a man and a woman, naturally open to the begetting of children

Nevertheless, in our dealings with people, we must not lose the pastoral charity that must permeate all our decisions and attitudes. The defense of objective truth is not the only expression of this charity, which is also made up of kindness, patience, understanding, tenderness and encouragement. Therefore, we cannot become judges who only deny, reject and exclude.

For this reason, pastoral prudence must adequately discern whether there are forms of blessing, requested by one or more persons, that do not transmit a mistaken conception of marriage.


Because when a blessing is requested, it is expressing a request for help from God, a plea to be able to live better, a trust in a Father who can help us to live better.

On the other hand, although there are situations that from an objective point of view are not morally acceptable, pastoral charity itself demands that we do not simply treat others as “sinners” whose guilt or responsibility may be due to their own fault. 

Gay relationships can never be blessed, as by their nature they are inherently cursed. But once you get that ball rolling, treating homosexual relationships as anything less than the monstrous, sinful slurry they are, drift will occur, and acceptance is inevitable.
