"German bishop suggests guidelines for blessing same-sex ‘couples,’ divorced and ‘remarried’"

"Bishop Georg Bätzing of Limburg, president of the German Bishops’ Conference (DBK), recommended implementing the conference’s official guidelines for the 'blessings' of same-sex 'couples,' the divorced and civilly 'remarried,' and other irregular unions in his diocese this week.

The Diocese of Limburg published Bätzing’s recommendation to implement the heterodox 'blessings' in its official diocesan journal on July 9. The bishop’s recommendation follows April announcement from the German Bishops’ Conference and the lay organization Central Committee of German Catholics (ZdK) that they were adopting the guidelines for these 'blessings' in line with 'the pastoral approach' of the late Pope Francis.

The heretical 'blessings' in the document are meant to be offered for 'divorced and remarried couples, couples of all gender identities and sexual orientations, as well as couples who do not want to or cannot receive the sacrament of marriage for other reasons.'...

These guidelines for homosexual 'blessings' had been expected in Germany, since the country’s heretical 'Synodal Way' had already decided to allow and implement same-sex 'blessings' in 2023. That same week, the 'Synodal Way' had also voted in favor of allowing female deacons and approved a declaration saying that 'transsexuals' should not be 'excluded' from the priesthood...

Francis’ controversial 2023 document, Fiducia Supplicans, which allowed the 'blessings' of homosexual 'couples' under certain conditions, offered much support to the heretical course of the German 'Synodal Church.' Indeed, the German Bishops’ guidelines cite Fiducia Supplicans to justify their heretical cause."
