At scores of churches across the country, Germany’s Catholic progressives plan to defy the Vatican's prohibition on blessing same-sex unions.

The Vatican says that Pope Francis’ comments on same-sex civil unions in a new documentary were taken out of context.The head of the German Bishops Conference last month criticized the grass-roots initiative for gay blessings, which is called “Liebe Gewinnt” or “Love Wins.”

However, Germany’s powerful lay organization, the Central Committee of German Catholics, or ZdK, whichsince 2015, positioned itself once more in favor of them. It called the contentious document from Rome “not very helpful” and explicitly expressed its support for ”Love Wins.”
