You and Elton can be offended all you want... The Church does not hate Elton....
.
But had you and Elton bothered to actually READ THE STATEMENT.....which includes:

"The presence in such relationships of positive elements, which are in themselves to be valued and appreciated, cannot justify these relationships and render them legitimate objects of an ecclesial blessing.....

So while we can indeed appreciate, and VALUE Elton and the boys - not just musically and cinematically.... it's just not possible to square their desires under the teachings of the Church, hence the impossibility of receiving a blessing based on that Church teaching.... which if the Church in fact did- would therefore actually be a true Hypocrisy untoward the Teaching of the Church....
So I just can't share your concerns of hypocrisy on this....

What are the “positive elements” in a homosexual relationship that are to be “valued and appreciated”?

It figures you would support unrepentant sodomites as being “valued and appreciated”.

What exactly do you, Barron and the Vatican appreciate about sodomites? God sure didn't seem to value and appreciate the sodomites in Gomorrah, did He?

Once upon a time, the Catholic Church appreciated and valued the young Catholics who remained celibate until marriage (to a member of the opposite sex).

Do you, Barron and the francis-vatican also appreciate abortionists?

Here's more heresy from Jorge the Heretic for you Murph:

Largely overlooked amid the furor caused by Pope Francis’ rash claim that “the great part of our sacramental marriages are null”—an assertion reckless if false (which it is) and brimming with despair if true (which it is not), a claim followed not by an apology, an official retraction, or even a bureaucratic ‘clarification’ but instead by an Orwellian alteration of the pope’s words in Vatican records—overlooked, I say, in this greater mess was the pope’s later but equally problematic comment about his being “sure that cohabitating couples are in a true marriage having the grace of marriage”

Papal comments on cohabitation and civil marriage suggest a direction

Hey man.... you were the one who posted Elton John fan boy pics... a hero.. you admire perhaps? ..... I for one was taken aback.... promoting his side against the Church would be ill=advised at this juncture....agree?

This didn't go the way you thought it would...did it?

I didn’t invest money in Rocketman, like Bergoglio did.

How did you enjoy that movie?
