Elton John denounces Vatican 'hypocrisy' on marriage for all

Singer Elton John and husband David Furnish at Cannes film festival for 'Rocketman' presentation in 2019 -

For Elton John, the Vatican is showing great “hypocrisy” in reaffirming the illegal nature of the union between two people of the same sex in the eyes of the Church.

Indeed, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, a Vatican institution in charge of the preservation of Catholic dogma, announced this Monday by the publication of a document approved by Pope Francis that same-sex marriages could not be blessed and remain , in short, a "sin".

In this case, Elton John would like to understand why the Holy See participated in the financing of

, the 2019 biopic dedicated to him and in which the artist's homosexuality is far from being concealed, on the contrary .

A placement like any other

"How can the Vatican refuse to bless same-sex marriages because they are 'sins', and make a handsome profit investing millions in

- a film that celebrates the happiness I found in marrying David (Furnish, her husband) ??

Elton John asked on Twitter.

Indeed, according to an investigation carried out by the Italian newspaper

 concerning the investments of the Vatican Secretariat of State, the Holy See did participate to the tune of 1.18 million dollars in the financing of the film.

However, this investment is, in a way, indirect since this participation was granted by the fund, based in Malta, Centurion Global Fund, in which the Vatican has a majority.

As a result, in addition to

, the papal state also participated in the financing of the reboot of

of 2019. Investments that we imagine rather badly dictated by the voice of the Holy Spirit, but which contribute to its train of life.
