Papacy disgusting: Fiducia supplicans

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiducia_supplicans

Fiducia supplicans ("Supplicating Trust")^[1] is a 2023 declaration on Catholic doctrine that allows Catholic priests to bless couples who are not considered to be married according to church teaching, including same-sex couples.^[2][3] Subtitled "On the Pastoral Meaning of Blessings", the document is dated 18 December 2023 and was released on the same day. Fiducia supplicans was issued by the Holy See's Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith (DDF) and approved with a signature by Pope Francis.^[4][5] It was the first declaration issued by the DDF since Dominus Iesus in 2000.^[6]

Fiducia supplicans has been widely interpreted.^[7] Francis advised that the Holy See's bureaucrats should avoid "rigid ideological positions" three days after the document was issued.^[8] Prefect of the DDF Víctor Manuel Fernández later said in an interview that the declaration did not permit blessing the unions, with a DDF press release in January 2024 repeating this. While most coverage reported that Fiducia supplicans reversed a 2021 responsum ad dubium from the DDF's predecessor,^{[8][9][10][11]} which ruled that the Church does not have the "power to give the blessing to unions of persons of the same sex",^[12] other commentators said that the 2021 ruling was still effective.^[13][14] In its introduction, Fiducia supplicans describes itself as "offering new clarifications" on the 2021 responsum.^[15]
