Pope Francis reiterated his support for blessing gay couples, emphasizing that he blesses two people who love each other and asks for their prayers, while denouncing those who oppose the practice as hypocrites.
The Vatican’s doctrinal office, under Cardinal Fernández, shifted its position on blessing gay couples, allowing for a broader, pastoral understanding of blessings.
However, the pope’s comments have sparked controversy, with widespread resistance to the Vatican’s decision, particularly from the Pan-African Bishops’ Conferences.
The pope acknowledged the opposition but suggested that it stems from small ideological groups and cultural perspectives, leading to debates about cultural conditioning and the influence of surrounding cultures.
