Vienna Archbishop Talked to Leo XIV About "Reform Topics" - Praised Homosexual Blessings
During the audience, Monsignor Grünwidl wore a copy of Pope Francis' pectoral cross. The design is associated with Cardinal Joseph Bernardin of Chicago (+1996), who was accused of homosexually abusing seminarians and was known for hosting pyjama parties with young priests.
When asked about his stance on blessings for same-sex couples, Monsignor Grünwidl said he was “very happy” with the homosexual pamphlet ‘Fiducia Supplicans’.
He added that blessings “in a very simple form for irregular couples” should and could be possible.
According to Archbishop Grünwidl, the German church is taking a “more direct path”.
He continued: “I believe that the course begun by Pope Francis — reaching out to people who ask for blessings and enabling them to receive them — is the right one, and a pastorally wise one.”
Monsignor Grünwidl also called for a “cultural change in the Church” and said that synodality should be made “truly concrete”.
He believes that Leo XIV intends to continue the path of synodality.
