The provision on the blessing of gay couples is about "people, not organizations. If the LGBT association comes, no, but always the people." Pope Francis said this at the closed-door meeting with the Roman clergy, according to sources present.
Then he explained why the measure will not be adopted in Africa: "Culture does not accept it." But he added: "We bless people, not sin", "maybe they come as couples or as people". And then he gave an example: "When we bless an entrepreneur, we don't ask ourselves if he has stolen."
