This move signals a reversal from the Vatican’s position, as it stated in 2021, that the Catholic Church wouldn’t bless same-sex marriages because God “cannot bless sin.”
Southern Baptist Theological Seminary President Al Mohler called new “blessings” of same-sex couples a “disaster” in his podcast, The Briefing, on Tuesday.
“It’s a disaster, I think, on many fronts,” Mohler said, “but in particular it’s a disaster because the impact of this in the larger culture is going to be to add momentum to the very forces that are tearing apart gender, tearing apart sexuality, tearing apart civilization, tearing apart marriage, tearing apart sexual morality, and all the rest.”
