By Jules Gomes, Church Militant - Cardinal Matteo Zuppi, the president of the Italian Episcopal Conference, is tacitly approving Italy's first public same-sex blessing, held in his archdiocese of Bologna.
Fr. Gabriele Davalli blessed (a) homosexual couple.. in flagrant violation of the Vatican's recent prohibition of same-sex blessings... Zuppi is one of the leading papabile candidates listed by Vaticanist Edward Pentin in his book.. (described Zuppi) as "one of the cardinals closest to the LGBTQ + community ever."
