I don't know much about Catholic blessings.

Just by reading the article, it says the priest cannot bless gay couples at the time of union. So what is the blessing for?

Either way, it seems like a slippery slope to offer gay marriages.

“Is the Pope Catholic?” is no longer a rhetorical question.

God doesn't bless sin. Repent or ye shall all likewise perish.

I think this is more misinformation by MSM. This is basically, a gay person walks up to the front during communion and gets a blessing. This is not priests "blessing their marriage".

same sex couples cannot receive communion in the Catholic church. However, the couple can walk up during the communion portion of mass, cross their arms and receive a blessing from the priest. Also, even if they didnt decide to go up and perform that process, they would still receive a blessing as the whole congregation gets blessed before being dismissed.

"may God bless you in the name of the father, son, and the holy spirit" while the priests males the sign of the cross in front of the person

This Pope is a heretic and dabbles in blasphemy. Here's a reminder that no man other than Jesus himself carries a closer to God holiness than anyone else. Those who kiss his ring worship a false idol.

I think you are right. From the article with the headline that this is a major doctrine change...

"the pope has not changed the church’s opposition to gay marriage nor has he changed Catholic sexual teachings"

Pope Francis isn't blessing homosexuality. He's blessing homosexuals.

I hope all the Catholics that were excited about having a "Latino Pope" are enjoying what they've gotten.
