That one was subtile. It’s long past abandoning the Manichean view of sex. The Church condemned the Cathars over Manichean dualism as a heresy in the Middle Ages.
My wife and I dated for years prior to getting married. Second marriage for each of us. As soon as we got married we were told that we should not partake in the Eucharist until we got annulments. Took me a few more years to agree to that. And then all of the sudden…poof. We were allowed back in the fold. But we still continued to do MUCH WORK for the church (in that time of banned-sacrament), which they didn’t refuse. And we continued contributing our checks, which they gladly cashed. It’s time the CC look at who they are excluding/penalizing as they continue to lose faithful in the USA.

I think that out-of-touch bishop was worried about “blessing” a gay couple.

If an atheist sneezes, is it appropriate to say “God Bless You?”

Heaven forbid he should bless someone who is not heterosexual.

The Bishop has forgotten that God loves all his children, no exceptions.

I don’t think Francis would approve of this comic.
