The Vatican declared Monday that the Catholic Church won t bless same-sex unions since God “cannot bless sin.”

The note distinguished between the church’s welcoming and blessing of gay people, which it upheld, but not their unions. It argued that such unions are not part of God s plan and that any sacramental recognition of them could be confused with marriage.
