Sodoma Supplicans: It's a Blasphemy to "Bless" Sin - Cardinal Müller

Priests are allowed to refuse in conscience to perform homosexual blessings, Cardinal Müller told LaVerita.info on 27 December [but if they do, they will be liquidated by their respective bishops].

- Any sexual activity outside of a valid marriage between a man and a woman is objectively a grave sin that excludes one from the Kingdom of Heaven until there is repentance and forgiveness.

- To bless the sin instead of the sinner is blasphemy.

- Someone must have studied Aristotle's work On Sophistic Refutations very carefully to make a distinction in theory and practice between the blessing of "two persons" in an illicit union and the "illegitimate union" of those persons.

- For reasons of conscience, a priest can refuse to "bless" illegitimate unions, otherwise he runs the serious risk of becoming accustomed to sin (Gaudium et spes, 16).

- We cannot irrationally bless evil simply because it can be associated with positive effects. An example: The fact that the atomic bombing of Hiroshima ended the war does not make it good.

- Homosexual propaganda has nothing to do with the psychological well-being and eternal salvation of those who feel justified by it.
