CWN Editor's Note: The Diocese of Huelva in Spain has called a halt to a parish program that was preparing for the “blessing of same-sex unions or couples in an irregular situation.”

The diocese said that the parish program, which encouraged same-sex couples to plan on church blessings, “does not correspond with the teaching of Pope Francis nor with the pastoral practice of the Church.”

    God bless the Bishop of the Diocese of Huelva! Combining in his message “the teaching of Pope Francis” and “the pastoral practice of the Church” was shrewd and innocent (Matthew 10:16).
