But "we would never bless or condone sin". When giving "spontaneous blessings", great care must be taken not to give the impression of condoning a lifestyle contrary to Church teaching, Doerfler said.
"We lack charity and we do not serve people if we foster confusion or lack clarity in our teaching and pastoral practice. Thus, blessings of people who are seeking help from God and who are in irregular situations [= mortal sin] should be given privately."
