The Saviour did not bless the woman accused with adultery....He just said " Go...and sin no more..." Giving her time to reform to deserve mercy. This Fiducia Supplicantes is just another endeavour of the camel to creep inside the tent.
You do not permit same-sex marriage, but you permit same-sex live-in partners ?! You can bless homosexual couples, but you do not bless homosexual union. Don't you know that there can never be a homosexual couple without homosexual union? Blessing homosexual individuals to strengthen their struggle to overcome homosexual tendency is meaningful. But blessing a homosexual couple who believe that they are happy to continue living in sinful carnal sexual relationship is meaningless. Blessing is not a magic in the priest's hands, but it is by the power of the Holy Spirit. Let us not mock and scandalize the Holy Spirit.
Jesus did not say marriage, as the Church says. He says anyone clinging together. Marriage is the name given by us, same as Trinity is not mentioned but the essence of 3 persons in one Almighty s mentioned. Hence any abominational relationship is prohibited, even if it is man with animal. The document says irrational relationship, even an animal with a man or woman can be brought to the church to be blessed, let alone homosexuals.
Eventually Vatican will approve same sex marriage, this document of pope is just the first subtle and cunning move for a culmunative future. This is a matter of time sweet heart!! Wait and watch
PETER KREEFT " BACK TO VIRTUE" There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, ‘Thy will be done’, and those to whom God says, in the end, ‘Thy will be done’ (The Great Divorce).

I left the Catholic Church 40 years ago as I became a True believer in Jesus Christ as my Saviour and Lord. The Word of God is my guide not churches particularly this one who thinks they can change with public opinion somewhat like a Camelon. God's word is competed revelation nothing to be added and a warning to any who take away from it. Put all your Faith and Trust in the Lord Jesus, only He can forgive sin as the Bible says. ❤
Joke is Jesus started the teaching and preaching church and not a religion of the book.. that is Islam... The bible as we know today came about around end of 3rd century AD... Consider reading the early church fathers, they were all catholic...
John 21: 25 Jesus did many other things as well. If everyone of them is written down, I supposed even the whole world would not have the room for the books that would be written. If you are living your life according to the Bible completely, well done. However, the Bible as mentioned by the Apostle John himself says it all. Morever, the Bible consist of different authors. You are only talking about the revelation (vision of John) which is just a revelation on which nothing was supposed to be added or taken away. Please don't mix things up. Catholics are carrying forward some of the things the Apostle carried forward not changing, adding it removing the revelation. 😊
The Catholic Church in India need to take an uncomprmising stand against homosexuality as has been done by the African Churches and Polish Church. Diluting Churches stand will eventually lead to approving homosexual unions as has been done by the Anglican and other liberal Churches. Fr. Edattu need to spend more time in humble and prolonged prayer to be guided by the Holy Spirit rather than his ego and his desire to be in the good books of Vatican.
Don't try to clarify... just withdraw the so-called document... whatever... blessings always relate sacramental rituals.. holy father is no more holy for me as a sinful catholic for 70 years till today.
Stop trying to justify Fr.Joseph. People living in an irregular union such as a homosexual "couple" cannot be blessed as a couple. Even when the Mass ended the Priest gives his blessings, its enough.. They are choosing to disregard the teachings of God and Jesus and living in a sinful relationship by coming for blessings in couple..Stop trying to explain it away when it's wrong.
Jesus himself didn't condemned the woman caught in the act of Adultery. Who are we to condemn others? Shouldn't we pray for them? Sometimes, we are going above Jesus himself. 🙁

Enough is enough . Confusion created . Who is to blame? Vatican should be clear n made it cleater then. The poor priests some agree some disagree some trying to explain. I believe then that Pope Francis has the duty to clarify . Lord only tiu know how it came about . I pray Lord guide the catholic faith to your direction amen.
Every catholic has right to clarify when a particular teachingis vague, ambiguous and if something contrary to bible. There is nothing wrong in clarifying
Priests dont need to bless same sex couple, they could be blessed individually because this will create alot of misunderstanding and confusion in the church. I personally feel this should not be encouraged. Infact priest should counsel such couples and just pray for them instead of blessing them. Just feeling so worried about the next generation because of all this nonsense going on.
It is totally immoral and illicit to give blessings for homosexualality. Never think and acceptable to any god fearing Christians. If this is implemented what is the difference between a person committing sextual sin oneself
The secrets of the Kingdom of God were hidden in the Bible. God told Prophet Daniel to seal the secrets (Daniel 12:4 [4] But you, Daniel, keep the words secret and the book sealed until the time of the end. Many shall be running back and forth, and evil shall increase.” Revelation is the Book of End times. God telling to open the seal (Revelation 22:10 [10] And he said to me, “Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near.

If Church's teaching has not changed, then what is the significance of this new document? It has created only confusion and scandal. And the intention behind this document is very clear.
From the " My Heart Will Triumph " by Mirjana of Medjugorje On the contrary, Our Lady has taught us that the blessing of Jesus only comes through a priest. “Their hands are blessed by my Son,” she said, and she often repeats that our priests do not need our judgment; they need our prayers. Many people abandon or reject faith because they find fault in a priest, but this is only an excuse. God will judge priests on how well they carried out their missions and He will judge us on how well we treated them. St. Francis of Assisi held a similar view. When parishioners from a nearby village complained to Francis that their priest was living in sin, he went with them to their village. The residents expected Francis to admonish their wayward shepherd, but instead Francis got on his knees and kissed the priest’s hands. “All I know and all I want to know is that these hands give me Jesus,” said Francis. “These hands have held God.”
If priests can be changed through prayer..I suggest organize some people and let all of them pray for the pope/priests daily atleast 7 hours till God is 'forced' to make them holy through non-ceasing prayers.May be God will change priests, pope based on the number of hours, days and intensity of the prayers of such group?! Free will given to humans blocks God's action to change anyone against his/her free will. Remember not only mother Mary even godess Kali, other hindu deity(s) have many revelations and even miracles happening. Reflect and realise my folks

Everyone is making such a big issue. Why waste time misinterpreting the Pope's statement As Christian parents we must first ask ourselves if 1) our mind, heart & actions are aligned to the Word of God 2) are we bringing up our children according to the Word or God 3) even if our children go astray are we able to bring them back on the right path with forgiveness & love, like the father of the prodigal son did Or are we simply busy finding others faults, judging them & considering ourselves absolutely righteous. If we truly follow the only commandment Jesus gave us - to Love - which includes to forgive, pray for them & do good to them, our world wouldn't be in such a big mess Each one can humbly look into their own lives, make the required changes & do whatever we can to bring the one gone astray, with God's love
Fr. Joseph is right and correct what he said here. Please follow the Bible teachings my brother's and sister's. God himself created Men and women and so no one has the right to disobey our God's teachings. Please mind ur own business and please don't blame our priests as they r sacrificing all their life to follow Jesus and his teachings.😢😢😢
This document from the pope could have been considered faithful if it had mandated the priest to specifically call for repentance and a turning away from their sin in his blessing . But the document seems to not need to even know about whether the couple is in a state of repentance or not . No questions need to be asked of the couple on this . The document at this point becomes blasphemous as when a couple presents themselves as a couple to be blessed the priest is blessing a relationship which is intrinsically disordered .Saying that only the good elements in the relation is being blessed also does not make it right as most sinful situations have good elements in them Could a polygamist who loves his wives and cares for them tenderly come to a priest along with his wives and ask for a blessing for them as a union of three. ?? Surely not ..The preist is to explicitly call for repentance and a turning away from their sin in his blessing This document seems to suggest that this is not necessary and hence goes against the 2000 year tradition of the church for sure

Fr. Joseph makes the claim that he has read the entire document and then goes on to defend the Pope's position. First of all, my comments are strictly directed towards homosexual behavior; not mere temptations. The document DOES NOT CONTAIN A WARNING ABOUT THE SINFUL NATURE OF GAY BEHAVIOUR !!! This is the most critical element that is missing from the document. I am surprised that Fr. Joseph has compared a murderer coming with repentance to that of a gay couple coming to a priest for blessing. When a gay COUPLE comes to a priest, does Fr. Joseph seriously think that they come with a repentant heart? The document should have included an instruction to warn gay couples about God's say in the matter. Would any priest actually tell a gay couple - who comes for blessing - that the blessing should not be taken as a sign of marriage? I think most of us know that Pope Francis has a soft heart, but would a loving parent encourage their child to play with poison. I think not! Because I feel very strongly about this, I will go on the say that the Pope has no authority, no business to bless something that God condemns. If he does not like it, he should step down instead created so much murkiness in the church.
Well spoken ! I remember a message from God Our Heavenly Father to a mystic saying and underlined :: Defend the truth with your Life if need be. Yes the Truth here is one is blessing an unrepentant couple in mortal sin who if per chance they die then the soul is lost forever. Now this couple in mortal sin comes is blessed and go back merrily going to their old lifestyle then again later going for the blessing happy that the church permits this lifestyle now.
