Argentinian Ex-Priest Disavows Decree Against Blessing Same-Sex Unions

A former priest and LGBTQ activist, Andrés Gioeni, is leaving the Roman Catholic Church after the Vatican issued a pronouncement that priests may not reside over same-sex unions. Gioeni has blessed same-sex unions in Pope Francis' home country, Argentina, at least four times. Like other LGBTQ Catholics, Gioeni was shocked by the Church's argument that clergy members cannot bless same-sex unions because they "cannot bless sin." Gioeni mentioned that he was homophobic throughout the seminary as an act of defense. His superiors came to know about his sexual identity in 2003 when he appeared nude on the cover of a gay magazine. Subsequently, he was barred from exercising priestly ministry.
