Yesterday morning when I checked my newsfeed, I saw the article about Pope Francis now allowing priests to bless gay couples. However, it is made clear that these blessings are not to be confused with actually blessing the relationship since marriage still remains, according to the church, between a man and a woman.
My literal thinking wants to interject so much on this subject. "So, only gay couples can be blessed but not gay individuals?" I know what they are actually saying but that's how my mind works sometimes, LOL I've done some light research in the past about different religions. The Roman Catholic and Christian seem to have found they wanted more control over people so they could convince them to make more children and in turn, make a bigger flock for the church. Women were no longer allowed to be midwives. That is one way they became to be known as witches. Men only saw women as property, They needed to feed their egos. I know not all men are like that but those that were kings and the like were the ones to blame for the way things are now. At least that's what I got out of my light research. Eventually things will change and minds will open. "A mind is like a parachute, It only works when it's opened".
Religion has de-evolved, I think, and I look forward to it changing directions or just going away. The dogma has destroyed so many lives and families....let's just go with good spirituality!
Thanks for speaking so clearly. Today the Orthodox Church of Russia is dictating war on Ukraine, and many Christian’s think that Israel Palestinian atrocities will bring the second coming of Christ! Delusions of religious superiority never stop!

True. Let the negative of history's past become history in itself. May there be positivity from this point on. Just don't repeat the past.
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Amen Sister!
