CWN Editor's Note: The Pillar has compiled a roundup of international reactions to the Vatican’s new document on the non-liturgical blessing of same-sex couples (and other couples in “irregular” situations).
The responses from an alphabetical list of nations vary from Austria’s (Archbishop Franz Lackner: “Basically, one can no longer say no”) to Zambia’s (Zambian Episcopal Conference: “The Conference guides that the declaration from the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith of December 18th 2023 concerning the blessing of same-sex couples be taken as for further reflection and not for implementation in Zambia”).
