Me parece muy cobarde que la iglesia católica se aleja de la leyes naturales para poder adaptarse a los tiempos de la Sodoma y Gomorra moderna y tratar de no perder adeptos en vez de luchar por sus fundamentos.
¿Cobarde qué?
La fiducia suplicans lo establece muy claro: Ratifica el anterior pronunciamiento de 2021, declarando "inadmisibles los ritos y oraciones que puedan crear confusión entre lo que es constitutivo del matrimonio" y "lo que lo contradice", para evitar reconocer en modo alguno "como matrimonio algo que no lo es". Reiteró que según la "perenne doctrina católica", sólo se consideran lícitas las relaciones sexuales dentro del matrimonio entre un hombre y una mujer. Aun mas, recuerda que "desde un punto de vista estrictamente litúrgico", la bendición requiere que lo que se bendice "sea conforme a la voluntad de Dios expresada en las enseñanzas de la Iglesia",
incluyendo los designios de Dios inscritos en la Creación".
En el mundo sólo la Iglesia Católica y Ortodoxa han sido fieles en lo que respecta al matrimonio, no solo sobre que para su constitución es condición sine qua non que sea entre un hombre y una mujer, sino además que una vez constituido es indisolubl, y que no pueden separarse el caracter unitivo y procreativo del sacramento, por lo que el uso de la anticoncepción artificial es pecado. El resto de las "iglesias" permite la anticoncepción, el divorcio y celebra "matrimonios" entre homosexuales, incluyendo las mayores congregaciones protestantes: Iglesia Luterana, la Episcopal, la Anglicana, Metodista, Presbiteriana y la "Unida" de Cristo, además de toda una miriada de denominaciones evangélicas entre las que cito algunas abajo.
En contraste, la ICAR declara oficialmente sobre esto: no pueden bendecirse las relaciones homosexuales, pues subvierte el orden divino, a la par de aclarar que si pueden bendecirse las
personas en razón de que tal bendición sirva para que estas tornen sus vidas a Dios. No entiendo porque insistir en criticas sobre cosas que la ICAR no formula.
Cristo vino a sanar al enfermo, y ¿que mas enfermo que quien peca en su carne? Si alguien, en la fosa que ha cavado con su pecado busca la bendición de Dios, ¿es la respuesta negar tal bendición? La bendición permitida por el Dicasterio de la Fe no es una bendición a la relación, sino a la persona en situación de pecado y que busca acercarse a Dios.
