> Was it previously explicitly disallowed to bless gay couples but not drug addicts or cars? The issue is the Catholic Church teaches that sexuality is only legitimate in a "lifelong partnership of the whole of life, of mutual and exclusive fidelity, established by mutual consent between one man and one woman, and ordered towards the good of the spouses and the procreation and education of offspring." You can see why blessing a "gay" couple, even without intent to approve of their situation, would appear to contradict the teaching, or at a minimum cause confusion.
