Descrizione


The book offers a profound theological and moral examination of the question of blessing individuals in homosexual and irregular unions, framing the discussion around the tension between Truth (doctrine) and Charity (mercy). The core argument establishes that the Christian imperative of "Do not judge" is not moral passivity, but the highest expression of our likeness to God, whose very nature is Love ($\text{1 Jn 4:8}$). God's judgment is essentially redemptive, focused on salvation and conversion, not condemnation. The ultimate example is the Crucifixion, where the Judge accepts condemnation in our place, offering continuous forgiveness. The author emphasizes that Blessing is the permanent, omnipresent act of God's love toward His creation, from which no human being, as the image of God ($\text{Gen 1:26}$), can ever be excluded, even when wounded by sin. A crucial distinction is made between blessing the person and ratifying the union. According to biblical and doctrinal tradition, the sacramental, ritualized blessing of Marriage is exclusively reserved for the union between a man and a woman, which inherently fulfills the foundational mandates of complementarity and fruitfulness ($\text{Gen 1:28}$). Conversely, homosexual unions are considered "disordered" because they do not align with the revealed will of God concerning sexuality. Therefore, the Church must bless the individual as a child of God, but never the union as a status, which is seen as a deviation or deformity influenced by sin and potentially the Evil One. The blessing, in this context, becomes a powerful spiritual weapon for protection, healing, and an appeal to conversion. The book provides a critical analysis of the Declaration Fiducia supplicans, noting a fundamental paradox: the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith used a document of maximum doctrinal authority to mandate a practice of minimum pastoral form (a spontaneous, non-ritual blessing). This contradiction—issuing a universal command for a semi-clandestine action—has created widespread confusion and polarization. This lack of clarity risks either being viewed as doctrinal smuggling (by critics) or institutional hypocrisy (by supporters), ultimately undermining its credibility. The only way to resolve this pastoral and doctrinal crisis, the author argues, is not through secrecy, but through perfect transparency. The Church should institute a public, non-liturgical rite with a fixed formula and clear Catechesis. This rite must be explicitly focused on the conversion, healing, and growth in holiness of the individual, ensuring it cannot be misinterpreted as a ratification of the irregular status. The final synthesis rests on Christ's words to the adulterous woman, which perfectly encapsulate the dual demand: "Neither do I condemn you; go and from now on do not sin again."
