Biblical Catholics do, but its bigger than that , it's the first steps in the splintering of churches as God teaches us in Revelations, Satan knows his time is getting shorter so he is working harder then ever , so hold tight to Jesus and the Bible that is all that matters, Iam Catholic and I will say being Catholic take a back seat to Jesus and the Bible.

People should read the document. Any sexual activity outside of marriage (never same-sex) is a sin and always will be since Truth can't change. Great time to repent of sin, implore God's help, and believe the Good News.
So then, how can you bless something that you know is going to involve sinful behavior? In effect, the Priest is blessing the fact that the gay couple is going to have sexual relations, the kind of sexual relations that are forbidden in the Holy Scriptures. And then what can the priest say when a polygamist shows up in church with his five wives and asks for a blessing on their relationship? The precedent has been set. Or if siblings show up in church and ask for a blessing on their incestuous relationship?
The spokesperson for National Catholic Reporter shows the confusion of this document. She says they can have their “relationships” blessed but the document says the intention is to bless the persons NOT the relationships. This very confusion is why the declaration is problematic.
But remember that the bible is only the bible because the guys with the funny hats in the 4th century declared it so, that is why sola scriptura doesn’t hold up to scrutiny

Heidi, You’re ridiculous!!!! It is a huge shift and alteration in the Catholic doctrine!! God bless all the Cardinals, bishops, and priest who oppose this unholy declaration. The church has never rejected these people, they don’t feel welcome because it’s uncomfortable for them to be reminded of the sin they refuse to leave behind!! God have mercy of us. 🙏🙏🙏
To be fair, the document repeatedly affirms the teaching of the Church on marriage and sexual activity. So, doctrine has not changed with FS. However, this new practice of blessing couples while intending to bless individuals can’t help but lead people to think their sinful relationships have God’s and the Church’s approval. What a tragic mess! We have to pray that the outcry from laypeople and clergy will lead to a reversal. They could just revise it - dump the word “couple” throughout to read “individuals in irregular relationships.”
A big mistake made by Pope Francis, and it is this: the document should have stated that a priest can bless individuals who want a blessing to help them reach out to the Lord for help. But to bless couples is in fact, blessing their union full stop! Sin cannot be blessed!
Today a 1917 prophesy has been fulfilled! The Third Secret of Fatima, handwritten by Sister Lucia, the oldest of the three children who were eyewitnesses to the divine revelation in Fatima Portugal, exposes this pope as the antichrist. For a "leader" in his role of the church to "bless" same sex unions that God has called an abomination, is all the True Church needs to know. Then to further sew confusion by saying ' that the antichristian act should not be confused with marriage' is borderline blasphemy. As reassurance to true believers, Jesus, the creator and Head of the Church, said the gates of hell will not prevail against His Church. Jesus said the Church is within you and to write His Word in your heart and mind so as to not be misled by false, antichristian teachings and practices. This same pope "blesses" and bows to porcelain images, another act that opposes Christianity.
That is not true. They are to bless the individual and not the couple. The Catholic church is still firm on the marriage sacraments between a man and a woman.
Homosexuality is not in itself sinful because it does no harm. Bigotry against LGBTQ people (or other minorities), however, is sinful because it brings trouble and suffering.
This seems very confusing. If an unmarried man and woman were living together, a priest is allowed to bless them. The priest is not endorsing any sin. What an I missing ?
This ruling " informal blessing" is like an airplane suddenly having an " ajar" red sign on the screen.The airplane is no longer air tight letting air infiltrating slowly but surely until it will take it down= you'll start seeing slowly but surely same sex couple holding hands and kissing,then the " trans" and the not so trans anymore will star showing up,and all the " blessing" of the priest.( sounds like the church is approving that behavior.Can a polygamist receive the " blessing" too?
So in effect, the Priest is blessing the fact that the gay couple is going to have sexual relations, the kind of sexual relations that are forbidden in the Holy Scriptures. How can you bless something that you know is going to involve sinful behavior? And indeed as you ask, what can the priest say when a polygamist shows up in church with his five wives and asks for a blessing on their relationship? The precedent has been set. Or if siblings show up in church and ask for a blessing on their incestuous relationship?
@@eirenmist12 PF take is let all the sinners in and they will repent later and change their sinful ways after they are welcomed, included, listened to, and accompanied in the Church.
@@maryharrington8983 Then the Pope's "take" on the issue is wrong, and actually harmful, harmful to the couple and to the Church at large. Are they going to be allowed to be included in the life of the church while they continue living in the sinful relationship? Are they not going to be told that their behavior is sinful, and that there are consequences for living in sin? At what point will they be told that the church can no longer accommodate their sinful behavior? What if they never wake up to their sin or decide they are comfortable with just receiving the blessing for as long as they want, they don't need to receive the sacraments? What kind of confusion does it cause in the congregation, especially with the young people, who are observing the couple continue to receive the priest's and the church's blessing until they finally decide to change their sinful ways? Will there finally have to be forceful encounter when they are told "Well, time's up. You have to leave now because you have gotten too comfortable in your sinful lifestyle and relationship"? Can't you see how morally dangerous this "take" on it is for the church? How did Jesus deal with the woman taken in adultery in Matthew? He told her to go and sin no more. His words both extended mercy and demanded holiness. He did not say that he would continue to bless her while she was living in the adulteress relationship. He commanded that she stop sinning right then and there.
Not a prudent choice to use National Catholic Reporter as a reliable source. Bishop Finn in the home diocese of Kansas City - Saint Joseph has stated publicly, the publication is not Catholic.
IRREGULAR UNION actually means ......LIVING IN SIN .......if you follow marian Prophecies.......you would have seen that the second last thing that Satan is allowed to change is language......and the last thing .......THE FAMILY ......then Our Lady's Immaculate heart will triumph.

Iam Christian first, it's not biblical and is wrong according to Gods word and teachings, dont take this as hate , as God teaches us love the person hate the sin, and pray for their souls, God will judge in the end, and that is his hand not man's. I cant follow church leaders who think it's ok, when God clearly doesn't.
You don't understand. This document teaches heresy. It is not in line with the teachings of the Catholic Church. Don't treat this like a good thing We can't bless sin.
The First to the Corinthians 6:9, 10 Or do you not know that unrighteous people will not inherit God's Kingdom? Don't be misled. Those who are sexually immoral, idolaters, adulterers, men who submit to homosexual acts, men who practice homosexuality, thieves, greedy people, drunkards, revilers, and extortioners will not inherit God's Kingdom.
The Church is going down a slippery slope by approving same-sex blessings. This has recently happened in the Anglican and the United Methodist Churches. The Book of Jude states in verse 4: For certain men have crept in stealthily [gaining entrance secretly by a side door]. Their doom was predicted long ago, ungodly (impious, profane) persons who pervert the grace (the spiritual blessing and favor) of our God into lawlessness and wantonness and immorality, and disown and deny our sole Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. Not everyone who says, Lord, Lord will enter the Kingdom of God. Jesus says Depart from me you evildoers, I never knew you.

@lydiamon2656 Here's a cure for your anguish, the link to the Fiducia Supplicans so you can read it for yourself. You'll evidently be surprised that it specifically is for people within an irregular union to be able to themselves be blessed with a simple prayer, *not* the irregular union itself.
detestable. The Pope was wrong blessing homosexuality Leviticus 18:22 - King James Version (KJV 1900) 22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
The church is designed to welcome ALL repentant sinners and not to bless its sinful lifestyle and behavior. And once you are forgiven Jesus will say..."Go and sin no more".
What is the meaning of bless?isn’t it approval? And so is it now that same sex union is approved by the Catholic Church and that there is no sin for such a union?
That's why this pronouncement is Heresy. It is deliberately written in doublespeak, trying to deceive everyone that it is not saying what it is saying. You cannot bless people in a mortally sinful relationship without, in honesty, blessing the activity that makes the relationship mortally sinful. This is the ONLY reason such a couple would even want a priest's blessing -- as affirmation that their union meets with God's approval and they don't need to repent. They're certainly NOT seeking a blessing because they want help to STOP homosexual activity and live celibately.
This is clerics' problem. Those sinful decisions are their responsible. We are only commoners that have right to obey or reject that. I don't worship Pope, but Jesus Christ. Let Pope does anything he wants, it's his own responsibility.
Shouldn’t we acknowledge this “bless” isn’t a mindless utterance after a sneeze, it’s the traditional meaning of religious “bless” understood as an affirmation worthy of celebration. After all, this is not Mike Johnson, it’s The Pope.
I'm a Catholic and more and more I am becoming very confused and alarmed about this present pope. Something doesn't seem right somehow. Something's fishy. My cradle Catholic spider sense is giving me the alarm.
@@peaceandjoy2568 If your Catholic spider sense is telling you that this latest move by Pope Francis is heresy, then you are correct. This isn't the first time Francis has broken from the Doctrine, and I fear it won't be the last. Stick tight to the Doctrine. Catholics are never to follow heresy, not even if it's coming from the Pope.
Roman Catholics? The real church is the Born again believers. Period. Love gays? Yes. Agreement with Man boy love? No. agreeing with it? No. The gays need to turn from their sin just like everybody else! Turn from it and receive Jesus to be their Lord and Savior, not themselves as lord.
Sin is now off the table, folks, according to the Pope. We'll probably see the reintroduction of paying for "indulgences" once again, to have our sins forgiven by merely depositing a generous donation to the tithing box.
The couple are presenting themselves together to the priest to receive his blessing. So then, how can you bless something that you know is going to involve sinful behavior? In effect, the Priest is blessing the fact that the gay couple is going to have sexual relations, the kind of sexual relations that are forbidden in the Holy Scriptures.
Christ never gave a blessing for sinful behavior. He offered forgiveness and turn away from your sins.

The Catholic Church is in a "soft schism," but that schism is hardening every day due to our pope. Good bishops are speaking out against Francis' actions, and it's only a matter of time before there is a severe rupture between Catholics who honor tradition and those led by Francis who want to reinterpret scripture and remake the Church in the image of the modern--and twisted--world.
@romano4190 I agree there's a widening schism, which is all the more reason to question for oneself the truth before negligently falling for false witness testimony. Here is the Fiducia Supplicans so you can quote to me where exactly Pope Francis is 'going wrong': www.vatican.va/roman_curia/congregations/cfaith/documents/rc_ddf_doc_20231218_fiducia-supplicans_en.html

What is an "informal blessing" in the Bible? Oh, right, that's not a concept in the Bible. Proof that catholicism does not actually believe in the authority of God or His Word.
They sure believe in pedophilia and money though....
Biblical Catholics do, but its bigger than that , it's the first steps in the splintering of churches as God teaches us in Revelations, Satan knows his time is getting shorter so he is working harder then ever , so hold tight to Jesus and the Bible that is all that matters, Iam Catholic and I will say being Catholic take a back seat to Jesus and the Bible.
Not at all. This is just an indication of a heretical pope.
How can you have a heretical pope and claim that is exclusive of the catholic church? catholicism claims that the pope holds the position of God on earth- the "vicar of God on earth."

You are correct. So if the false prophet just stepped up to the plate, guess who's next? Repent. Clean up your soul. Get ready. Hang on and PRAY!
The Pope said blessings for individuals not same sex unions. Watch the 60 min interview hes did a few days ago. This network like many another falsely accused the Pope.
He caved to the times. Direct sign of end times. God forgive him. Now more than ever Satan is spreading evil. It not about tolerance. Its about going with the times. And times are deteriorating fast. Jesus we need you. Amen.
People should read the document. Any sexual activity outside of marriage (never same-sex) is a sin and always will be since Truth can't change. Great time to repent of sin, implore God's help, and believe the Good News.

So then, how can you bless something that you know is going to involve sinful behavior? In effect, the Priest is blessing the fact that the gay couple is going to have sexual relations, the kind of sexual relations that are forbidden in the Holy Scriptures. And then what can the priest say when a polygamist shows up in church with his five wives and asks for a blessing on their relationship? The precedent has been set. Or if siblings show up in church and ask for a blessing on their incestuous relationship?

Heidi, You’re ridiculous!!!! It is a huge shift and alteration in the Catholic doctrine!! God bless all the Cardinals, bishops, and priest who oppose this unholy declaration. The church has never rejected these people, they don’t feel welcome because it’s uncomfortable for them to be reminded of the sin they refuse to leave behind!! God have mercy of us. 🙏🙏🙏
To be fair, the document repeatedly affirms the teaching of the Church on marriage and sexual activity. So, doctrine has not changed with FS. However, this new practice of blessing couples while intending to bless individuals can’t help but lead people to think their sinful relationships have God’s and the Church’s approval. What a tragic mess! We have to pray that the outcry from laypeople and clergy will lead to a reversal. They could just revise it - dump the word “couple” throughout to read “individuals in irregular relationships.”
Of course Cupich supports this. It’s one reason he was elevated to Cardinal.
Gateway to accepting....will become standard if not corrected
Looks like the false prophet has stepped up to the place.
A big mistake made by Pope Francis, and it is this: the document should have stated that a priest can bless individuals who want a blessing to help them reach out to the Lord for help. But to bless couples is in fact, blessing their union full stop! Sin cannot be blessed!
Sin cannot be blessed. This is evil and sick.
It is a mockery and blasphemy!.All spirit filled believers in the Catholic Church must come out and protest against this decree..
Old Pope Francis doesn't dare lose a dollar. He'll give his blessing on anything as they donate.
it's all about keeping the money flowing
Francis was clarifying that. The blessing is individual not to the couple
Today a 1917 prophesy has been fulfilled! The Third Secret of Fatima, handwritten by Sister Lucia, the oldest of the three children who were eyewitnesses to the divine revelation in Fatima Portugal, exposes this pope as the antichrist. For a "leader" in his role of the church to "bless" same sex unions that God has called an abomination, is all the True Church needs to know. Then to further sew confusion by saying ' that the antichristian act should not be confused with marriage' is borderline blasphemy. As reassurance to true believers, Jesus, the creator and Head of the Church, said the gates of hell will not prevail against His Church. Jesus said the Church is within you and to write His Word in your heart and mind so as to not be misled by false, antichristian teachings and practices. This same pope "blesses" and bows to porcelain images, another act that opposes Christianity.
That is not true. They are to bless the individual and not the couple. The Catholic church is still firm on the marriage sacraments between a man and a woman.
Definitely NOT biblical.
One is either a Catholic OR a member of the LGBT community, but not both. Let that be out there.
How can you be LG or any of the other letters and be catholic?
Homosexuality is not in itself sinful because it does no harm. Bigotry against LGBTQ people (or other minorities), however, is sinful because it brings trouble and suffering.
This is end of Times

The Pope should resign
On the day of judgment there is no escape for those who have misled others on purposely.
Yea, thats the pope!
This seems very confusing. If an unmarried man and woman were living together, a priest is allowed to bless them. The priest is not endorsing any sin. What an I missing ?
This ruling " informal blessing" is like an airplane suddenly having an " ajar" red sign on the screen.The airplane is no longer air tight letting air infiltrating slowly but surely until it will take it down= you'll start seeing slowly but surely same sex couple holding hands and kissing,then the " trans" and the not so trans anymore will star showing up,and all the " blessing" of the priest.( sounds like the church is approving that behavior.Can a polygamist receive the " blessing" too?
So in effect, the Priest is blessing the fact that the gay couple is going to have sexual relations, the kind of sexual relations that are forbidden in the Holy Scriptures. How can you bless something that you know is going to involve sinful behavior? And indeed as you ask, what can the priest say when a polygamist shows up in church with his five wives and asks for a blessing on their relationship? The precedent has been set. Or if siblings show up in church and ask for a blessing on their incestuous relationship?
@@eirenmist12 PF take is let all the sinners in and they will repent later and change their sinful ways after they are welcomed, included, listened to, and accompanied in the Church.
@@maryharrington8983 Then the Pope's "take" on the issue is wrong, and actually harmful, harmful to the couple and to the Church at large. Are they going to be allowed to be included in the life of the church while they continue living in the sinful relationship? Are they not going to be told that their behavior is sinful, and that there are consequences for living in sin? At what point will they be told that the church can no longer accommodate their sinful behavior? What if they never wake up to their sin or decide they are comfortable with just receiving the blessing for as long as they want, they don't need to receive the sacraments? What kind of confusion does it cause in the congregation, especially with the young people, who are observing the couple continue to receive the priest's and the church's blessing until they finally decide to change their sinful ways? Will there finally have to be forceful encounter when they are told "Well, time's up. You have to leave now because you have gotten too comfortable in your sinful lifestyle and relationship"? Can't you see how morally dangerous this "take" on it is for the church?
How did Jesus deal with the woman taken in adultery in Matthew? He told her to go and sin no more. His words both extended mercy and demanded holiness. He did not say that he would continue to bless her while she was living in the adulteress relationship. He commanded that she stop sinning right then and there.

If anyone actually still serves GOD in that church there would be NO WAY to fake a blessing from God. 😢
Catholic parishioners:Gays no. Children ok.
The Church is going down a slippery slope by approving same-sex blessings. This has recently happened in the Anglican and the United Methodist Churches. The Book of Jude states in verse 4: For certain men have crept in stealthily [gaining entrance secretly by a side door]. Their doom was predicted long ago, ungodly (impious, profane) persons who pervert the grace (the spiritual blessing and favor) of our God into lawlessness and wantonness and immorality, and disown and deny our sole Master and Lord, Jesus Christ. Not everyone who says, Lord, Lord will enter the Kingdom of God. Jesus says Depart from me you evildoers, I never knew you.

What is the meaning of bless?isn’t it approval? And so is it now that same sex union is approved by the Catholic Church and that there is no sin for such a union?
That's why this pronouncement is Heresy. It is deliberately written in doublespeak, trying to deceive everyone that it is not saying what it is saying. You cannot bless people in a mortally sinful relationship without, in honesty, blessing the activity that makes the relationship mortally sinful. This is the ONLY reason such a couple would even want a priest's blessing -- as affirmation that their union meets with God's approval and they don't need to repent. They're certainly NOT seeking a blessing because they want help to STOP homosexual activity and live celibately.
This is clerics' problem. Those sinful decisions are their responsible. We are only commoners that have right to obey or reject that. I don't worship Pope, but Jesus Christ. Let Pope does anything he wants, it's his own responsibility.
Shouldn’t we acknowledge this “bless” isn’t a mindless utterance after a sneeze, it’s the traditional meaning of religious “bless” understood as an affirmation worthy of celebration. After all, this is not Mike Johnson, it’s The Pope.

Roman Catholics? The real church is the Born again believers. Period. Love gays? Yes. Agreement with Man boy love? No. agreeing with it? No. The gays need to turn from their sin just like everybody else! Turn from it and receive Jesus to be their Lord and Savior, not themselves as lord.
this is very dangerous since it's going to be open to misinterpretation
Intentionally deceiving.
Sin is now off the table, folks, according to the Pope. We'll probably see the reintroduction of paying for "indulgences" once again, to have our sins forgiven by merely depositing a generous donation to the tithing box.
Better go back and reread the poorly written rubric which allows blessing if the person not the union.
The couple are presenting themselves together to the priest to receive his blessing. So then, how can you bless something that you know is going to involve sinful behavior? In effect, the Priest is blessing the fact that the gay couple is going to have sexual relations, the kind of sexual relations that are forbidden in the Holy Scriptures.
