re: Pope Denounces ‘Hypocrisy’ of Those Who Criticize LGBT Blessings

Here's the thing though, and this is where Pope Francis really needs to clarify, the priest is not blessing the actions of the businessman. He's blessing the businessman. Is the priest blessing the relationship or is he simply blessing the people in the relationship?

Exactly. What a straw man this Jesuit Pope has built here.

Every time a priest blesses anyone — homosexual, crooked businessman or devout parishioner — that priest is blessing a sinner since we all sin and fall short of the glory of God. Yet blessing a homosexual union is akin to blessing embezzlement.

What a shoddy thinker. It is a embarrassment that this Jesuit Pope is the titular head of a faith tradition that includes St. Thomas Aquinas.
