15 Apr 2021 German Bishop Franz-Josef Overbeck of Essen has defied the Vatican’s veto on blessings for homosexual unions, saying he will allow his priests to bless same-sex couples, Runrunes reported Wednesday. Priests who bless gay couples in an upcoming LGBT-sponsored event called “Blessings for the unions of people who love each other” will not be sanctioned, Bishop Overbeck said. “I am not going to do that with the priests,” said the German Prelate, adding that he will not “suspend” a priest or apply any other ecclesiastical punishments for blessing a same-sex couple. “I and other bishops have said that clearly: ‘I won’t do that,’” he said.
