Summary
Encore from 12/19/2023
Patrick Madrid tackles the question on everyone's mind: does the Vatican announcement signify a shift in the Church's stance on marriage? Join the conversation as Patrick explores the implications of this announcement, the potential challenges it presents, and his concerns about the future direction of the Church.
- The roll of blessings in the Church
- Eileen – It seems like the Church is moving in the direction of blessing same-sex “marriages”
- Isabel – This news out of the Vatican is very disturbing to me. I use to live a homosexual lifestyle but I came back into the church and got married and the Church really helped me. (19:51)
- Dan - Like Isabel, I am in love with a woman but it isn't working out and I am also giving my feelings for this woman to God.
- Ed - How I can be obedient to what the pope is saying? (38:07)
- Brian - I am worried that the state will start to prosecute priests who don't want to bless gay people.

| 0:56.5 | but she says, Patrick, what are we to think about this referring to the announcement yesterday |
| 1:01.1 | that we talked a fair bit about on the program the Vatican announcement that priests may now |
| 1:07.0 | bless same-sex couples and other couples or people in irregular situations. It wasn't just |
| 1:12.3 | same-sex couples, but that's what everybody seized on. She says, what are we to think about this? |
| 1:17.5 | And how do we explain it to those who think it's one step from same-sex marriage in the church? |
| 1:23.6 | This, of course, is the question du jour. And I noticed on social media, primarily Twitter, |
| 1:30.6 | which is where I hang out, immediately, I mean, everybody was suddenly now an expert on what |
| 1:37.8 | blessings are. Some people actually are, priests and others who have obviously experience in that |
| 1:43.3 | department by giving blessings. But that was |
| 1:46.4 | the question of the day. And everybody was buzzing about that. And predictably, you could set your |
| 1:51.6 | watch by this. There was a certain group on Twitter and probably elsewhere, although I don't |
| 1:57.4 | inhabit much by way of Facebook or other social media places, but I do |
