A German vicar blesses a gay couple in St Benedict’s Church in Munich yesterday.
More than 100 churches around the country have signed up to host services under the motto “love wins” on or around May 10 in the scheme initiated by priests, deacons and volunteers.“We raise our voices and say: We will continue to stand by people who commit themselves to a binding partnership and bless their relationship,” said a statement on the initiative’s website.
The office wrote that while god “never ceases to bless each of his pilgrim children in this world … he does not and cannot bless sin”.While some prominent German bishops have supported the Vatican’s stance, others accused the CDF of seeking to stifle theological debates which have been active among German Catholics in recent years.
May 10 was chosen for the blessings because it is associated with God sending Noah a rainbow – a symbol often used in support of the LGBT community.
