Elton John has accused the Vatican of “hypocrisy” over its decision to prohibit the blessing of same-sex unions, pointing out that the Holy See reportedly indirectly invested in his Rocketman biopic.
In a tweet that was widely picked up by the Italian and international press, the singer claimed the Vatican profited from investing what he described as “millions” in Rocketman but yet refuses to bless gay marriages because “they are sin”.
John, who married David Furnish in 2005, hit back after the Vatican said on Monday that the Catholic church cannot bless same-sex unions as God “does not bless sin”. In a decree approved by Pope Francis, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) wrote that such blessings “cannot be considered licit”.
