Earlier this week, the Vatican caused controversy for the umpteenth time after ruling that Catholic priests cannot bless same-sex unions, as homosexual partnerships are “not ordered to the Creator’s plan”.
The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) issued a two-page statement on the subject, where it stated that any marriage that’s not between a man and woman cannot be “considered licit”. “The Christian community and its pastors must welcome with respect and sensitivity persons with homosexual inclinations”, but these relations cannot be blessed, according to the CDF.
The news didn’t go down well with Eichner and Levy, who used their social media platforms to hit out at the Catholic Church’s archaic stance on homosexuality.
