Covered completely by St. Paul, in Romans1 and 2 so if that is painful RCC may not be the religion for you. Try Festivus , maybe?

Blessing a sin is BLASPHEMY!

When the church allowed admitted homosexuals into its ranks, it signed its death warrant.

I’m reminded of a story about a group of Anglican Pilgrims to Rome who demanded a blessing from, I believe, Leo XIII, wo conceded, and began reciting (in Latin of course) the prayer of blessing given over the thurible when charging it with incense at Mass.

Why were you reminded of that story, and what relevance has that story to the article at hand? Except for the vague connection that they both pertain to administering a blessing, I see no relevance.

Regards,

The incense is blessed as it is about to be burnt for the Glory of God. When reading through Sodom and Gomorrah, at least in the Hebrew, there are similar verbs of being set aside and offered up. Demanding a blessing in a disordered state does not always lead to the result that one wants.

At one time the Pope had a sense of humour and fittingness.

If you want a tangential story, your comments remind me of a Monty Python sketch.

The bishop says the Church “has offended and still offends” by teaching common sense natural law truth necessary for Salvation? Goodness, the arrogant entitlement these people give witness to.

Your Bishop Bobby Barron is a huge fan and defender of Pope Francis. Birds of a feather, flock together, uh?
