Priest's blessing on same-sex couples stirs bishops' debate
ON December 18, the Catholic Church's Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith (DDF) issued a 5,000-word Declaration entitled 'Fiducia Supplicans' (Supplicating Trust) in five languages — Italian, French, English, Spanish and German — on the subject of 'blessing couples in irregular situations and same-sex couples.' It allows Catholic priests to bless same-sex couples and other non-married couples without changing the Church teaching on marriage.
