Pope Francis today allowed Catholic priests to give their blessing for same-sex marriages under certain conditions, two years after the Vatican's doctrine stated that it was absolutely forbidden to bless "sin".
According to the updated directive, priests can agree to a couple's request to receive a blessing, even if "their situation is not normal", but the blessings are conditional on the fact that they will not be part of the church's ritual and religious ceremonies and that they will not be related in any way to wedding ceremonies or civil unions.
The instruction also states that "even if a person's relationship with God is in the shadow of sin, he can always ask for a blessing, reaching out to God," and that asking for a blessing can "be the best possible thing in certain situations."
THE COST OF THE AMERICAN DREAM HAS EXPLODED.
Owning a home.
Buying groceries.
Driving to work.
Paying insurance.
Even your morning coffee.
Nearly every major household expense costs dramatically more than it did just a few years ago.
Over the last 7 years:
• Coffee: +127%
• Home prices: +60%
• Auto insurance: +51%
• Gasoline: +49%
• Electricity: +44%
• Shelter: +35%
• Groceries: +33%
And that's before paying for healthcare, transportation, or eating out.
This is why so many families feel like they're falling behind even when they get a raise.
The biggest financial problem for millions of Americans is that everything is going up at the same time, while the government keeps showing a 2% inflation target.
