Pope Francis Confirms Possibility of Blessing Same-Sex Couples

Pope Francis has officially confirmed the possibility for Catholic priests to bless same-sex couples. This was stated in a new document from the Vatican.

The document notes that individuals seeking God’s love and mercy should not be subjected to "exhaustive moral scrutiny." It is worth mentioning that a few years ago, the Vatican declared that blessing same-sex couples was impossible within Catholicism. However, the Church has now expanded the term "blessing" and has stated that it should not exclude same-sex couples.
