@EdwardPentin "To bless couples in irregular marriages or same-sex couples..is not their sexual abstinence being blessed, but their sexual indulgence" — Father Thomas Weinandy
"To bless couples in irregular marriages or same-sex couples without giving the impression that the Church is not validating their sexual activity is a charade. All those present at such blessings know, without a doubt, that such relationships are sexual in nature. No one is fooled. Actually, they are rejoicing that such sexual relations are being blessed. That’s the point of these blessings. It is not their sexual abstinence being blessed, but their sexual indulgence" — Father Thomas Weinandy, OFM, Cap., systematic theologian.
