30-17. Vatican Permits First Blessing at ‘Homosexual Wedding’...
NOT JUDGING
"When a priest tells you that you do not have to speak up, out against homosexuality, because you are judging another person, and you should love your neighbor and therefore never set him up to be judged, you are not judging. If a person is doing wrong, and you tell him in a kind manner, a charitable manner, that they are committing a sin, and that they will lose their soul and go to purgatory, or even hell, that is not judging. You are helping and loving your neighbor. What is love?"

GOOD FATHERS
"Homosexuality shall never be accepted. In the writings of the good Fathers, My child and My children, you were made fully aware in the Old and the New Testament of the Book of life and love, the Bible—you had been made full aware of the dastardly acts of mankind, as men consort with men. This shall not be accepted nor condoned by the Eternal Father even if He has to send another plague upon you."

A celebrity homosexual couple who intends to conceive a child through surrogacy has made history after the Vatican permitted the blessing of the duo at a "religious wedding" held two days after their civil wedding.
Father Francisco Gordalina blessed Uruguayan television personality 82-year-old Carlos Perciavalle and his 47-year-old partner Jimmy Castilhos at a party for 400 guests. The couple publicly advertised it as "the first [Catholic] religious wedding in the world" of its kind.
The "marriage" of Perciavalle, a well-known actor, comedian and director, to Castilhos, a theater producer, presenter and communicator, was blessed on Feb. 21 after the couple registered their civil union on Feb. 19 at the local registry.
"As you are both children of God and have asked for a blessing from God our Father, it is with pleasure that we are present on behalf of the Church to ask that he bless you," Fr. Gordalina declared in the presence of the homosexual couple, Uruguayan media reported.
Noting that the service was that of "a blessing, not a wedding," the priest went on to assure Perciavalle and Castilhos that "God is with you and we know very well that you are also with God because we have spoken intimately with our bishop, and we have seen your faith."
He first placed his hands on the head of Perciavalle, saying, "Carlos, may God keep you and bless you, lead you along the path of peace and love and help you grow in dedication to your brothers and in the love that you have to give them, in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen."
Placing his hands on the head of Castilhos, Fr. Gordalina said, "Jimmy, may God keep you and protect you, grant you his love, enlighten you and lead you along the path of love and peace, and may your love continue to grow and be devoted to the good of the brothers, in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen."
The couple had arranged for the "wedding" to take place in the church of San Benito a Garzón, Maldonado, which prompted the diocese to announce that the venue was a private chapel and not a parish church. Following a public outcry, the blessing was moved to the artist's iconic farm on the shores of Laguna del Sauce.
A day after the service of blessing, Bp. Milton Tróccoli issued a press statement that said he had consulted apostolic nuncio Abp. Gianfranco Gallone in Montevideo about how to respond to the gay couple's request for a blessing.
We were informed that the blessing had to be given, since there was a document signed by the pope and that we should proceed accordingly," Tróccoli said in his statement, noting that he had expected the gay blessing to receive extensive media coverage.
"We then informed those interested that the blessing would be given. They were reminded that it would not be in a church, that we were blessing to the persons and not the union, (it was not a "church marriage"), and that for the same reason, it would be discreet, without the presence of guests," the bishop added.
"I understand that the media coverage of the situation may have hurt the sensitivity of some and may have confused others," Tróccoli remarked. "It has also prompted some to come forward to discuss their significant personal or family situation, giving thanks for the closeness of the Church."
Insisting that Fiducia Supplicans affirmed "the sacred value of marriage between a man and a woman, with an exclusive, stable and indissoluble union that was open to life," Tróccoli explained that "at the same time, the document seeks to get closer pastorally to those who find themselves in 'irregular situations.'"
"The novelty of the document and its pastoral implications mobilizes us all. This invites us to a deep reflection about how to continue looking for ways to evangelize. It is a great challenge, which requires prayer, discernment and reflection," the bishop added.
Since their "wedding," the couple have announced that given Perciavalle's advanced age, they want to begin the process of "renting a surrogate uterus" as soon as possible — a practice that is forbidden by the Catholic Church.
Earlier, the couple declared that they had decided to tie the knot during the "Lunar Year of the Dragon" at the suggestion of their astrologer friend Ludovica Squirru, founder of the New Age Argentine Spiritual Foundation.
"Are you so blind that you do not recognize the acceleration of sin among you? Murders abound, thievery, all manner of carnage, destruction of young souls, abortion, homosexuality, condemned from the beginning of time by the Eternal Father. Yet sin has become a way of life. Sin is condoned now, even unto the highest judge of your land and your lands throughout the world. As you have sown so shall you reap. Sin is death, not only of the spirit, but of the body. Wars are a punishment for man's sin, his greed, his avarice."
