In a world full of sinners, I struggle to understand which sins preclude one from blessings and which ones don't.
Every time a priest offers a blessing, it is a blessing bestowed upon a sinner since we all sin and fall short of the glory of God. The difference here is this new Vatican directive offers blessings on “irregular” relationships and thus shifts the focus from the sinful individual to the sin itself.
Although many are arguing this new doctrine does not contradict or alter centuries of Catholic doctrine, this new Vatican proclamation sows confusion and unnecessarily creates scandal since priests already have the discretion to issue pastoral blessings on sinful individuals. Yet unnecessarily creating scandal and sowing division unfortunately has proven to be the modus operandi of this Jesuit Pope.

Blessing people isn’t the same as blessing their sins.

I don’t think it’s confusing at all.

Every single individual is sinful so I guess no one should ever receive a blessing.
