Pope Francis, speaking to leaders of the Roman Curia, warns them against “fear, rigidity, monotony”, falling into ideological positions & repeating what has always been done.
He says those who work in the church’s central administration may need to “rekindle the embers under the ashes of the church”.
@ShaneSchaetzel@ModernBoethius #4 states same sex UNIONS can’t be blessed, which is what the Declaration holds. The people within those unions can be blessed. Important distinction.
