Additionally, on Monday, March 15, 2021, Elton John called out the Vatican for hypocrisy and possible corruption. Elton’s tweet accused Vatican of hypocrisy after it issued a decree barring blessing homosexual unions, which it says are sinful.
The decree distinguished between the Church’s welcoming and blessing of gay people, which it upheld. This decree refused to bless their unions, because such sacramental recognition could be confused with marriage. It said
God “does not and cannot bless sin: He blesses sinful man, so that he may recognize that he is part of his plan of love and allow himself to be changed by him,”
Officials issued the decree in response to these questions after Pope Francis endorsed protections for gay couples in civil unions. However, some seemed to interpret this as back-handed approval of gay marriage. His comment, however, is about the civil sphere, not within the Church. Civil protections are not Church blessings.
The decree said: Blessing a same-sex union could give the impression of a sort of sacramental equivalence to marriage.
Potential Corruption Exposed
Many Catholics may not realize that the Vatican invested money in Elton John’s rise to stardom and his lifestyle. Graphic homosexual depictions appeared in the movie, and authorities banned it from being shown in some parts of the world.
Catholic News Agency reported that, meanwhile, Corriere della Serra said the Centurion Global Fund raised 70 million euros in cash. The Holy See’s Secretariat of State was the source of at least two-thirds of the fund’s assets. Moreover, the Vatican included Peter’s Pence funds to support charitable works and the Vatican Curia. Reports show the Vatican’s investment included funds from Peter’s Pence to support charitable works and the Vatican Curia’s ministry.
