Headline: Pope Approves Blessings for Same-Sex Couples
Caption: NBC reports that Pope Francis has formally allowed priests to bless same-sex couples, insisting that those who seek God should not be subject to, "an exhaustive moral analysis.' The pontiff released a new document explaining the radical shift in Vatican policy. In October, Francis wrote to two conservative cardinals suggesting that blessings for same-sex couples should not be confused with the sacrament of marriage.
