NEWS ARTICLE: Defying Vatican, Flemish bishops allow
blessing of same-sex unions
- Flemish roman catholic bishops issued a document
allowing the blessing of same-sex unions, in direct
defiance of a ruling against such practice by the
Vatican’s doctrinal office last 2021
- The document stated that Church want to be pastorally
close to homosexual persons and be a welcoming
church that excluded no one
- They also announced the appointment of Willy
Bombeek, a gay catholic, as an additional staff member
to their department for pastoral care of families to
oversee care of gay catholics
- For me this is interesting because many people in the
Church are already speaking up for them and I think it
is a good opportunity for everyone to witness and
understand that love is beyond sexual behavior and that
love is something that the Church should always bless
