Elton John: accuses Vatican of hypocrisy for its attitude towards same-sex couples

THE Elton John accuses the Vatican of hypocrisy after the announcement that “the Catholic Church can not bless same-sex couples, as God does not bless sin.”

The British musician describes his attitude as “acting” Vatican, noting that the Holy See has invested “millions” in the film about his life, “Rocketman”, reports Guardian.

“How can the Vatican refuse to bless them? gay marriage because it’s a sin but to make a huge profit from the million-dollar investment he made in “Rocketman”, a movie that proclaims that I found happiness in my marriage to David [Φέρνις, τον σύζυγό του]? », Wrote Elton John on Instagram, including photos of posts from the Vatican office announcement and older ones, about the Vatican investment in his film.

According to a report by the Italian Corriere Della Sera, the Vatican, through a fund, had allocated more than 4 million to finance films such as “Men in Black” and the biography of Elton John “, information that the Vatican has not denied, but neither has confirmed.

Recall that on Monday, the Vatican issued a statement with a negative answer to the question of whether priests can bless same-sex couples. According to the decree, the blessing of these couples “can not be considered legal”, while noting that “there is no reason to consider same-sex relationships in any way similar, or at least proportional to God’s plan for marriage and the family”.

Among other things, the decree notes that God “does not bless and can not bless sin”, as well as that “he blesses the sinner so that he can recognize that he is part of his plan for love and allow him to change him.”
