Pope Francis denies approval of blessing same-sex marriage

The Pope stated that while he permits blessings for individuals, he does not endorse blessings for same-sex unions.

According to Fox News, the Pope was questioned about an apparent shift in Vatican policy during a discussion on CBS’s ’60 Minutes’, where it was noted that he had approved blessings for Catholics in same-sex unions.

“Last year, you decided to allow Catholic priests to bless same-sex couples,” CBS ’60 Minutes’ anchor Norah O’Donnell said. “That’s a big change. Why?”
