Francis and Fernández have claimed that FS is in line with the then-CDF’s 2021 note prohibiting blessing same-sex unions. At the time, the CDF stated clearly that the Church does not have “power to give the blessing to unions of persons of the same sex.”

But the CDF went further than simply prohibiting blessing for legal unions, and stated that it is “not licit to impart a blessing on relationships, or partnerships, even stable, that involve sexual activity outside of marriage (i.e., outside the indissoluble union of a man and a woman open in itself to the transmission of life), as is the case of the unions between persons of the same sex.”

Protestants admit that they are not Catholic.
The Pope, however, has not yet admitted it.
