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

The problem is that there are people who will fail to understand the difference between blessing the sin and blessing the sinner. Such people might decide that the Church condones homosexuality. The position of the church should not appear to differ from the Scriptures.

Yes.

And to put a finer point on it, the primary problem here is that Fiducia Supplicans does not contain a universally and simply understood phrase such as “Bless the Sinner But Not The Sin” and is instead an exercise in ambiguous legalese that is open to multiple interpretations.

This is a repeated pattern with this Jesuit Pope.
