Pope Leo XIV has not officially changed or continued Pope Francis’s policy on blessings for same-sex couples, despite recent headlines. The statement that “gay blessings will remain” came from Cardinal Fernández, not Pope Leo himself. The original 2023 document Fiducia Supplicans allows pastoral, non-liturgical blessings for individuals in irregular unions, without endorsing same-sex marriage. Father Leo emphasizes that these blessings reflect compassion, not doctrinal approval. Misinterpretations of Church teaching are driven by poor timing, vague language, and sensationalized media coverage.
