This is EXACTLY what the pope wanted. It is a perfect engine for establishing heteopraxy without having to officially change magisterial teachings. Those changes can be justified by the next pope after half of the Church has been blessing same sex unions, etc. for a few years. Once the praxis is there, it's very hard to roll back the clock and easier to just change the catechism and say, "See, the Holy Spirit did this, not the pope!"
