                    [Summary] => The Holy Father Pope Francis has allowed the blessing of same-sex couples. And Father Jaime Achacoso, a noted canon lawyer and priest, clarified that “the Pope is not blessing the union per se, but the persons caught up in that relationship (hence the provision that the blessing should not in any way resemble the marriage rite) to give them the strength to do what is right: either to break it up if possible, or at least keep it chaste (not sexual but just companionship).”

With all this talk and general thrust of the Church today on mercy and compassion, a very commendable campaign, I must say, we just have to make sure that we do not lose our sense of sin as a consequence or unintended side-effect.
