I do not like this Pope, having said that I read the entire letter and except for one paragraph which is what the media and braindead are focused on there is perfect clarity. The paragraph in question states that couples in a irregular or even homosexual relationship can receive certain non liturgy blessings if they are sincere in wanting to remove the sin from their lives. He should not have used the word couple...that is the flaw.

It’s his way of gradually bringing in acceptance of homosexuality. Like the frog in the pot, he’s gradually increasing the temperature, until the frog boils.

Though not a Catholic, I heard this also well explicated while listening to a EWTN program the other day.

The priest was quite precise that the confusion is in part media-driven, in hopes of driving Catholics towards the "orthodoxy" of the very political LGBTQ+ movement.

True, there could be three or more in a polyamory situation.
