The Pope clarifies his stance on blessing same sex couples

"What I allowed was not to bless [a same-sex] union. That cannot be done because that is not the sacrament. I cannot. The Lord made it that way. But to bless each person, yes. ... Some people were scandalized by this. But why?" says Pope Francis.
