Cardinal Marx Enforces Blessings of Sodomites in Munich Archdiocese

EWTN News portal reports that Cardinal Reinhard Marx, “archbishop” of Munich and Freising, has issued binding instructions to priests and pastoral staff in his “archdiocese” to implement the heretical handout „Blessing Gives Strength to Love” as the official basis for pastoral care of homosexual couples and divorced-and-remarried adulterers. Priests who refuse to participate in these blasphemous ceremonies are merely instructed to redirect the couples to a dean or other compliant staff member — thereby ensuring that no sodomite or adulterer is denied access to this pseudo-sacramental abomination. The handout, which emerged from the synodal Unweg (German for “path,” though more aptly “dead end”), was adopted in March 2023 with 92% of the votes at the fifth synodal meeting and formally presented in spring 2025. Marx emphasized that “the blessing is not the celebration of a sacramental marriage” — a distinction without a difference, since the act itself constitutes public ecclesiastical approval of gravely sinful unions. The Archdiocese of Cologne and several Bavarian dioceses have rejected the handout, citing Fiducia Supplicans as justification — itself a heretical document issued by the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith under the antipope’s authority.
