Aachen (dpa) - The Aachen Bishop Helmut This has sharply criticized the Vatican's ban on blessing homosexual couples.
"It can only fail to want to end a discussion," said the bishop on Friday evening at a discussion event in Aachen.
“That is naive and has done a lot of damage.
We have to bring that to Rome as bishops. "
The Roman Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith made it clear on Monday that the church was not authorized to bless homosexual couples.
Any form of blessing that recognizes a homosexual partnership is not permitted.
He does not understand "how one could shoot such a bullet in this synodal process".
This referred to the current reform process in the Catholic Church in Germany, the Synodal Way.
Among other things, there is a renewal of the church's sexual morality.
