Historic decision taken for LGBTQ couples in Vatican, Pope announced to get blessings from priests

A historic decision has been taken in Vatican City, under which Roman Catholic priests will now be able to bless gay couples. This step taken by the Vatican for the LGBTQ community has been described as historic. Pope Francis has approved Roman Catholic priests to bless same-sex couples.

However, some conditions have also been laid down for giving blessings to gay couples. Under this, the priest will give blessings only when the marriages are performed according to the regular rituals and rites of the church. Information about the approval of this decision by the Pope was given on Monday. According to media reports, the Vatican’s doctrinal office has released documents in this regard. It says that such a blessing would show that God is for everyone and that He accepts everyone equally.

Let us tell you that the Vatican considers the relationship between men and women as legitimate. The Vatican has said in its decision that it should not be confused with the heterosexual marriage ceremony. Information has also been shared that pastors should take decisions on a case-by-case basis. If a person wants to seek God’s blessings in the church then not allowing him to come to the church is not the right step. Let us tell you that in this regard, the Pope had indicated in October that there could be an official change in this direction.

Let us tell you that an eight-page document has been released regarding the decision. It says that the Church teaches that having same-sex attraction is not a sin. Committing homosexual acts is definitely a sin. Let us tell you that with this decision the Pope has taken an initiative to welcome the LGBTQ community. Till now it has been said that the Church cannot do the work of blessing homosexual couples because it is against the principles of the Church.
