Such vile affections are beastly and unnatural, and have no basis whatsoever in genuine romantic LOVE, which springs forth from the divine and from the holiness of God, and can only be authentically held by a male and female for each other. Sodomite pairs and their deviant female counterparts can only mimic true love within the construct of their illicit and depraved partnership. What they share is a mummer's parody birthed out of their unclean connection, a merging that is bathed in filth and built upon an animalistic attraction rooted in sexual and/or psychological lust. Those who experience and participate in such things suffer from a diabolical delusion that — in their sick imitation of God’s gift of natural romantic love found only between a male and female — makes a perverted mockery of true espousal and holy matrimony. It is a counterfeit “love," a fake, farcical, dirty, polluted thing, a chain of wickedness forged in the deepest abyss of hell and crafted by the foul hands of Satan himself, that binds and entraps the two transgressors together in their iniquity. This then, is what the Holy Father says he “blesses” and sanctions, and would have all other Priests to do likewise. May God, in His unfathomable mercies, help His Church and deliver us all from the smothering darkness that cloaks this age.
