The Pope said said that the Church cannot bless gay relationships because they are ‘sinful’.

The Vatican, in a draconian hate filled proclamation, indicated that gay unions cannot be blessed because they are ‘sinful’. The scant moral authority that the church still possesses is quickly being eroded away with a return to the homophobia of the Pope Benedict years. What is ‘sinful’ is the thousands of priests who raped children, with the blessing of the Catholic Church, for decades and decades with impunity. The countless lives destroyed by the Church will forever be a legacy it will never live down. The Holy See would be wise to promote love and abandon the evil hatred of the past.
