Swiss ‘Catholic’ Website Offers Church List for ‘Gay Blessings’

A list of parishes for gay blessings. A sort of Rainbow Guide to churches where homosexual couples can go to receive a blessing not as God commands, but as Víctor Manuel Fernández commands.

The idea came from the Swiss Allianz Gleichwürdig Katholisch (AGK, Alliance for Catholic Equality), an organisation of secular pseudo-Catholics based in Lucerne which gathers within its ranks individuals, groups and ‘other associations that share the vision of an equal Catholic Church’ but not a hierarchical one.

Last 15 July, the Helvetian organisation published a list of parishes available to bless homosexual couples and irregular couples. They count about twenty with a total of 40 blessors. ‘Queer, unmarried and remarried couples seeking a blessing should immediately know where they are welcome’, reads their website. ‘The AGK offers maintains a list of Catholic priests and parishes that will give a blessing to anyone who requests it’. In reality, one could say fortunately and unfortunately, there are not many priests on the list, most are lay people, including women, therefore the blessing is not liturgical. Nonetheless, on a negative note, if layman and laywoman start to bless inside a church it’s only a matter of time before they will start celebrating ‘mass’, i.e. we will have female priests and married priests administering sacraments.
