Catholics Shocked by Pope's Gay Couples Blessing

Regardless, Catholics voiced their displeasure with the actual ruling. Pope Francis said people seeking God's mercy shouldn't be subject to "an exhaustive moral analysis." Catholics aren't buying that either. "The Vatican has fallen! Pope Francis has approved priests blessing same-sex couples. Did you see that coming?" posted one. "Pray that Francis' papacy is soon over and this blasphemy comes to an end," posted another. Others took aim at the mainstream media headlines that screamed the Pope approved the blessing of same-sex unions.
