- Assertion
- Fiducia Supplicans, issued December 18, 2023 and approved by Pope Francis, permitted Catholic priests to give informal pastoral blessings to same-sex couples without any liturgical rite or implication of marriage approval.
- Quote
it will be possible to bless same-sex couples but without any type of ritualization or offering the impression of a marriage. The doctrine regarding marriage does not change, and the blessing does not signify approval of the union.
