Cdl. Fernandez’s Official Press Release clarification on FS

Pope Francis’s address to the DDF – Therein clarifies that the persons are blessed, not unions. Here’s the important quote, “I would like briefly to underline two things: the first is that these blessings, outside of any liturgical context and form, do not demand moral perfection in order to be received; the second, that when a couple approaches spontaneously to ask for a blessing, one does not bless the union, but simply the people who have requested it. The union is not blessed, but the people.“
