Prefect, Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith<\/strong>
There has been a magisterial innovation\u2014an innovation in the way we understand blessings. The Pope wanted to broaden the understanding of blessings to develop its pastoral richness. In other words, it helps us understand that there are blessings that do not confirm, do not sanction, do not consecrate, do not justify anything. They are just a prayer of the minister to express God's help to continue living.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prefect, Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith<\/strong>
Some liturgists don't like this because they think all the prayers a minister does are liturgical and therefore everything that is blessed must be in accord with God's will. But Pope Francis wanted to clarify that this is not the case. He wanted to invite us to broaden our understanding. And he has the right to do so. This is a minor issue but it is something that was not explicit in the Magisterium then.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prefect, Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith<\/strong>
It is a topic that is at the heart of the Pope, of Francis' pastoral heart, even if it is not a very important issue. Fiducia supplicans is a document that has had more than 7 billion views on the internet\u2014more than 7 billion. How many documents do we remember their names?
We hope that today's document, which is certainly a much more important statement, could have this level of impact.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
