The pope said in a TV interview Sunday those resisting this are doing so out of a misunderstanding. He then talked about how God blesses all people.
He did not say exactly how people are misunderstanding the document, so those people can then understand the document, and therefore follow it. If as he says resistance is due to misunderstanding, and he wants people to follow the document, then why not openly recognize the exact concern, or in his mind misunderstanding, and clarify the document?
The document calls for blessing homosexual “couples,” which is the objection, and I assume he knows this. His lack of clarification on this question, the same for Fernandez, indicates he wants the relationship to be blessed, just not the simulation of sex or marriage.
Yet, if this is true, and the relationship is defined by simulating sex and marriage, how can the Church bless the couple as such without indirectly blessing a false imitation of marriage?
Conclusion: this pope needs prayers that he will clearly teach and uphold Catholic faith and morals before he dies, for his own soul, and the unity of the Church, primarily unity in the doctrine of the Faith.
