The vision of “The Joy of the Gospel” is rooted in pastoral charity, which can be expressed in many ways, not the least of which is a pastoral blessing to same-sex couples that can bring Christ nearer and, at the same time, begin a journey that accompanies and invites without judging, approving, legitimizing or validating their lives—for God alone is the judge. Such charitable outreaches are the mark and duty of true disciples.
