The Saint Paul Catholic Church in Lexington, Kentucky, proudly posted a picture of their priest, wearing a rainbow stole, as he blesses a lesbian couple. The text claimed the blessing had been done according to the guidelines in Fiducia supplicans.
Fiducia supplicans states that “one should neither provide for nor promote a ritual for the blessings of couples in an irregular situation.” It looks to me like the rainbow stole provided for and the photograph tooted on social media promoted.
Some of the CINO groups and individuals praising Fiducia Supplicans are saying out loud what pope-splainers are not. That is, that Fiducia Supplicans is an intentional endorsement of homosexual relationships that they hope will undermine the teachings of Jesus Christ and result in overturning a chunk of the Magisterium of the Church.
A group of Belgian bishops have published an enthusiastic statement in support of blessing “faithful and lasting homosexual relationships.”
The Hungarian Catholic Bishops’ Conference urges pastors not to perform blessings for same-sex couples.
The prominent African prelate Cardinal Robert Sarah has joined the growing numbers of bishops who have rejected Fiducia Supplicans, stating that it proposes a “heresy that gravely undermines the Church, the Body of Christ, because it is contrary to the Catholic faith and tradition.”
The Catholic bishops of the Ivory Coast wrote to their priests:”We your Archbishops and Bishops, your spiritual guides of the Catholic Church in Côte d’Ivoire, reaffirm our attachment to the values of the family, of the sacrament of marriage between a man and a woman, as God has intended since the beginning. We therefore ask ordained Ministers to refrain from blessings of same-sex couples and couples in an irregular situation.”
The bishops of Togo have issued a statement urging priests in the country to not perform blessings of homosexual “couples.” In the text, they cite Pope Francis’ own words from last July in which the latter said that “rites and prayers are inadmissible which could cause confusion between that which constitutes marriage.”
