Catholics react after Pope Francis approves priests to bless same-sex couples

The decision seems to be causing a split among U.S. Catholics, with some saying it's a landmark moment and others saying it violates church teachings.

It’s just not against the church law but its against God’s laws. No matter how you sugar coated it by saying, its just a blessing not a marriage. It doesn’t makes any difference.

We're living in the days where the Bible Evil will be called good and good will be called evil".

How can someone bless something which God had already cursed ??😴😴😴

Being a Catholic isn't a guarantee to heaven but for the ones who obey God commandments and the Bible teaching will enter the kingdom of heaven.

notice the use of language "church teachings " instead of God`s teachings

Guy is going to great lengths to downplay this 😂

[ayesharajapakse]

I'm fed up of trying to understand his perspective...this is so wrong...

[Jason.]

He can't let priests and nuns marry, but same sex marriage is allowed.

[vitawater]

Does this pope even recognize the biblical concept of holiness?

[TheActsgirl]

His response was ridiculous 💯
Sin is sin. A union whether they claim it to be a non “marriage “ union, being together with a person of the same gender and them blessing their state of the relationship, is unbiblical and wrong. It is oxymoronic and a mockery to God’s Holy precepts and ordinances.

Christ warned you about the last days...dont think anyone is going to get away from standing on business

[messiahsichula]

No matter how much you sugar coat it, it still doesn't make sense.
You can not simply justify the blessing of the same "sex union".
I thought marriage was also a union 😢 so what are these guys even saying? 🤦‍♂️

“I did not come to change the law, but to fulfill the law” - Jesus

… and the Old Testament law UNDERLINES sodomy is against God. So clearly Christ was against sodomy. Stop trying to imply He condoned it just so you can feel apart of His faithful.

This is one reason I am Orthodox. Latins, get your Pope in order. Please stop the heresy and more than that, please stop the “Oh, but if you read the text, it REALLY means this.” Please.

Then why did God burn down Sodom and Gomorrah

[challengerwilliam]

I remember reading in the bible in the Book of Revelations that one of the church's on earth has fallen in disfavor with God. I always wondered which church it was, now I know. Catholics should revolt against the church to show solidarity with God's law: "man shall not lay with man".

In the last days people will not listen to sound doctrine but have itchyears..

[hellosunshine]

It's not fantastic!! It's a sin. No need to bless this mess!

[EvaCortez]

That’s just like the devil gets you to compromise little by little over time before you know it your way off course.

Real Christians take heart. Even this did not catch our Lord Jesus by surprise. He said "These words I have spoken to you that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have tribulation but be of good cheerI have overcome the world." 🙏🙏🙏

I am honestly trying to get my head around this!!!
