An organisation representing some 500 priests in Britain has released a signed letter reaffirming the Church's teaching regarding marriage and same-sex unions after "widespread confusion" following the Fiducia Supplicans declaration released by the Vatican.
The letter's signatories at the Confraternity of Catholic Clergy explain they felt "impelled to re-assert the traditional teaching of the Catholic Church...which remains unchanged and unchangeable".
The Confraternity's response follows Fiducia Supplicans giving guidance on same-sex "couples" receiving "spontaneous" blessings which, the declaration insisted, must not convey a validation of "their status" or anything contrary to the Church's teaching on marriage and sexuality.
