Now Catholic priests have to develop a format for the ceremonies. It may be a little different from ordinary wedding ceremonies.
The Synodal Assembly, involved in the reform of the German Catholic Church, adopted a document that allows same-sex couples to marry from 2026. On Friday, March 10, writes DW.
It was reported that of the 202 members of the Synodal Assembly, 176 voted in favor of the document, 14 were against and 12 abstained.
In the next three years, all the necessary documents will be prepared, as well as an appropriate liturgical form of the blessing ceremony.
“Blessing” also aims to allow divorced people who want to remarry.
Same-sex marriage was legalized in Germany in 2017. Today we are talking about receiving the official blessing of German Catholic priests.
A draft law on same-sex and opposite-sex civil partnerships was submitted to the Verkhovna Rada.
Earlier, Pope Francis called for civil union laws for same-sex couples. According to the pontiff, same-sex couples should be protected by law.
