A German cardinal has admitted to blessing couples in same-sex relationships and has called for a change in Catholic teaching on homosexuality.
Cardinal Reinhard Marx of Munich and Freising is the latest of a string of senior European clerics to call upon the Catholic Church to ditch its traditional teaching that homosexual sexual acts are objectively disordered.
In an interview with Stern, a German magazine, the 68-year-old cardinal declared that the Catechism of the Catholic Church was “not set in stone” and the faithful therefore had a right to question what it taught.
