On Monday, March 15th, 2021, legendary Rock Star Elton John called out the Vatican for hypocrisy and may have exposed more corruption at the Vatican. Elton’s tweet accused the Vatican of being hypocritical after it issued a decree that homosexual unions could not be blessed as they are sinful and sin can never be blessed.
The decree distinguished between the Church’s welcoming and blessing of gay people, which it upheld, but not their unions since any 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,”
The decree was issued in response to questions that arose after it was revealed that Pope Francis endorsed giving gay couples legal protections in same-sex unions. Some seemed to think the Pope was giving a 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 have been aware that the Vatican is suspected of investing money into the file about Elton John’s rise to stardom and his homosexual lifestyle. The movie included graphic homosexual depictions and was banned from being shown in some parts of the world.
According to Catholic News Agency, the Italian newspaper Corriere della Serra reported that the Centurion Global Fund had raised around 70 million euro in cash, and that the Holy See’s Secretariat of State was the source of at least two-thirds of the fund’s assets. The Vatican’s investment was reported to include funds from the Peter’s Pence collection, intended to support charitable works and the ministry of the Vatican Curia.
