Catholic Church clarifies Its stand on same-sex marriage and homosexuality


Following the release of the documentary titled 'Francesco' in October 2020, in which it is alleged that Pope Francis endorsing 'same-sex civil unions', there has been wide confusion and criticism inside and outside the Church saying that the Pope is encouraging 'gay marriages' by asking to legalize it.

The enemies of the Catholic Church used this opportunity very well to attack the Church, saying that the Church is deviating from the Teachings of the Holy Bible and framing its own rules and laws to suit the modern sinful lifestyles.  

Now putting an end to all the confusions that rose out of all the fake propagations, Vatican's 'Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith' (CDF) has released an official statement with clear explanation on the controversial issue. 

The Catholic Church's 'Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith' has made it clear with the approval of the Pope Francis through an official decree that the Church cannot bless same-sex unions or gay marriages.

The Christian community and its pastors must welcome with respect and sensitivity such persons with homosexual inclinations, but their unions cannot be blessed. The Church has a compassionate stand towards the rights and wellbeing of the LBGT persons. But as marriage is a 'Holy Sacrament' aimed for creation and as LBGT reunions do not pave way for it, it cannot be blessed as a sacrament.
