Maybe it's just me...maybe I lack the capacity to "read serenely and without ideological prejudices," but when I read this: "Couples are blessed. The union is not blessed, for the reasons that the declaration repeatedly explains about the true meaning of Christian marriage and sexual relations," I wonder what the Cardinal means by the word "couple." What is the end game for those in "couple" situations?
This is double-speak and how dare they think we are so "simple" as to not see through the ruse. As the parent of a middle-aged son living with his same-sex partner, I am gutted. My son doesn't stand a chance of reaching higher with this kind of false mercy being meted out from people who have been entrusted with propagating and proclaiming the Truth.
Best reply of all. This blessing might only help if followed by Jesus's words of "now go and sin no more." But I don't get the feeling the the people urging this blessing on us are at all wanting repentance to take place, just a feel good blessing. But I hope that the Holy Spirit can work through this. My prayers for you and your son.
