The confusion surrounding Pope Francis allowing the blessing of same-sex unions stems from conflicting interpretations of a document called the fiduciary supplements. The document's significance and the kind of blessings it allows are points of contention. In 2021, the Vatican issued a ruling stating that the church could not bless sin, in response to liberal priests and church officials advocating for formal blessing of gay marriages. However, the Pope's casual comments supporting civil recognition of same-sex unions have worried some theologically conservative Catholics, leading them to submit formal questions, known as dubious, to the Pope. The lack of response to these questions has caused concern among conservative cardinals, who emphasize the need for clarification to prevent confusion and misleading of people who view the Catholic Church as a moral authority.
