Vatican refuses to bless same-sex unions

Mar 16 2021

The Vatican has claimed that it cannot bless same-sex unions, with the statement approved by Pope Francis. The lengthy statement issued on Monday was explained by the Holy See, describing same-sex unions as a choice and sinful, and that they cannot be recognised as ‘objectively ordered’ to God’s plans. The Vatican’s top doctrinal office, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, stated that blessing homosexual unions cannot be considered licit.

The statement added a further comment by claiming that God does not and cannot bless sin, a statement that is sure to disappoint many who identify as LGBTIQ+. Even though Pope Francis frequently welcomed the community has approved the statement. With many European countries legalising same-sex unions, the statement by Vatican still maintains its stance as to not bless the union, even if as individuals, they may be blessed by the Church.

Germany, Italy and France have joined the ranks of other countries to suspend the AstraZeneca shot on Monday while WHO safety experts are to discuss the vaccine on Tuesday, after many blood clot fears have arisen surrounding the jab.

WHO, AstraZeneca and European Medicines Agency have so far insisted the shot is safe for use and shut down links between the blood clotting side effects and the vaccine.

WHO scientist Soumya Swaminathan stated that the organisation does not want the public to panic and even suggests that countries continue to utilise AstraZeneca as part of the global vaccination campaign continues.

WHO and EMA are to discuss the vaccine’s safety, followed by a European regulator meeting two days later. Indonesia has also delayed the rollout and Venezuela announced not authorising the jab due to complication fears.
