Essen Bishop Franz-Josef Overbeck, Germany, called in a March 19 pastoral letter for “a serious and deeply appreciative re-evaluation of homosexuality.”
A mere repetition of the [truthful] magisterial valuation of homosexuality on the basis of natural law is "no longer understood or accepted" by Overbeck because homosexuals "feel" offended and hurt.
Overbeck informs that in the name of a "pastoral accompaniment" homosexual blessing ceremonies have already come into being which "show" that "in the name of the church God is present in this relationship" - an assertion which diametrically contradicts the Bible.

Son of a Kant. That statement inverts the objective-subjective relationship. The Catholic Church makes truth claims e.g., the creed. That is her nature. Overbeck, follows Kant, who followed Luther. Such statements should not surprise us. What should surprise us is that he is still a Bishop.

“A century ago, anyone would have thought it absurd to talk about homosexual 'marriage'. Today those who oppose it are excommunicated from society” - Benedict XVI, Pope Emeritus

Ratzinger’s Request: Simply call me ‘Father Benedict’ "At least part of the reason for wanting his new title to simply be “Father” rather than Pope Emeritus or Benedict XVI is to put more space between him and the role of the pope, so that there is no confusion as to who the “true Pope” is.
God is indeed present. Bishop is right. GOD is telling this bishop that it would be better for him to have a millstone attached to his neck and throw himself into the see instead of mislead others(I am paraphrasing Holy Scripture) and GOD is also present between these 2 homosexual people telling them to change their lifestyle and convert or they will have to go for eternal punishment in hell.
God is indeed present , which makes this perversion all the more sacrilegious .
