Alumuku said, “My position is the position of the Catholic church. Usually in the Catholic church, there are rituals for every blessing, even the blessing of pets. Also, I find it totally wrong to refer to the people in question as “same-sex couples”. “So, if you think that blessing of same-sex couples will lead to the eventual endorsement and approval of same-sex marriage by the Catholic Church, I want to tell you that such will never happen without the Church running into the risks of schism. But then, while the Church rejects same-sex union and considers it disordered, she does not condemn same-sex couples.”
